In fairness we're also hoping and praying that particular corner will also remain relatively healthy.

Getting Gano/Butker vibes here

ESPN/ABC/Disney....

By that time we would have forgotten he ever coached here. I almost had

You can build around corner. We actually had a pro bowl guy he was just on a song of a contract. He got mega paid cause corners are prized. Hint, they are prized for a reason.

I agree, and the first four should be Thielen, XL, Tet, and Coker. That leaves three with one odd man out. Horn's kick return abilities should give him a slight edge, but its to early to say for certain, given that he has never played an NFL down.

Agreed and Moore would be out

Not that much of a stretch he's only 29. At this point he's likely to contribute as much or more than Thielen at a fraction of the cost.

For me it's the combination of the loyalty to two aging veterans paired with whatever is going on at linebacker. Just a little too much of the same old Panthers. I can't imagine this news about Jewell just came out of left field. I don't expect them to have corrected the linebacker room entirely but there's really no excuse to have allowed it to be this thin either.

I see us keeping 6

The only thing confusing about the safety group to me is redundancy. Moehrig, Richardson, and Ransom all look to be good and potentially good box safeties. We never really got that ball hawking FS we needed IMO. It might still work out, but whoever is playing FS would be playing a position that doesn't fully play to their strengths IMO.

Do you not remember what our defense was like with Kuechly? And then without him? Cornerback is the least important position on defense, followed by safety. The most important are DT's, then DE's, then ILB, then OLB, then safety, then corner. You build inside out and front to back.

thanks @Captain Morgan as always with the updates I'm digging what I'm hearing about Demani Richardson. He's the guy not talked about as much. It seems they've got a good grip on what they have with him after a lot of playing time to close out 2024. Seems to have trust and I'm hearing good stuff.

Another article released this morning by the hockey news talked about us being in on Karlsson. I think Seravalli said it would cost us Chatty (no thanks) or Walker (we had a good run Sean).

Their flailing attempts of long term survival with the SAS and Pat McAfee-cation of their programming has ruined the product. The NBA Draft coverage this year was a disgrace to even a casual fan. It's unwatchable garbage. Corresponds pretty well with Disney making Pitaro head of ESPN. Norby Williamson already caused a slow death beginning in the 2000s, but his ouster didn't change much. That org has so much toxicity and programming with no real analysis anymore. Taken over by talking heads and ex-attorney/execs who think they know ball.

Luke, Dan, and Trevin Wallace could probably make things happen. On that note. For a team that has two HOF talents at Linebacker working for them, we have an utter lack of linebacker talent.

I think he makes the team and has around 500 yards receiving and 3 touchdowns this season. Book it. 2025 is the year to go. It's Year 3 for Bryce. Once that rookie contract is up things change a lot, whether we sign him or draft a replacement. It's go time.

We have to pay a backup QB something? Dalton is making 8 million over 2 years. Honestly that's pretty cheap. Argument aside of how good he is, his contract seems fine. Plenty of blame to go around for our cap getting full, but the backup QB on a 2 year 8 million dollar deal seems like quite the reach.

What is this NFL network thing?? It’s definitely gone downhill the last few seasons!!

I don't see why they wouldn't just put him on IR since it'll only save 3.4mil in cap space. He was one of the few bright spots on the defense last year, and I think one of the core players on that defense and leaders they could build around, especially being an Ejiro guy. Same with Jonathan Brooks, how they decided to PUP him instead of just put him in IR, so now he still counts against team roster spot AND is out for the year. I feel our management team is having a hard time figuring out how to use player injury designation for some reason. Just feels amateurish, but hopefully we grow.

My feeling is that it will be between him, Moore and Horn. Tet, Thielen, and Leggette are locks and I think Coker is to.

You said it before I did. How stupid would we look and what predicament would we be in to lose Bryce on an overzealous play during training camp? My, oh my, we need Bryce practicing...and we need him on the damned field because he's not only the best QB that we have, ostensibly, but because we need some closure to the question of whether or not he's a franchise QB. Hands off during practice!

Yayyy making things more expensive Hooray monopoly!

You just don't typically touch QBs in this stage of practice. A broken hand/finger from his throwing arm can really jeopardize a season.

I don't agree with stifling the confidence of a rookie pass rusher on a defense that gave up the most points in history last season. Unfortunately we won't be able to give opposing pass rushers a stern talking to about stripping the ball away from our QB. It's been an issue for us and it's something Bryce needs to clean up. I'd be much more focused on that as the head coach but it's not my job at stake.
