Give me Mason Reiger in the 7th

They'll back load his deal and restructue or cut after three years like all of the Panthers deals have been set up under Dan.

Just about every position group on this team is legit right now, expect the QB room, its STILL one of the weakest in the NFL. Pickett made it weaker, holy hell Dan.......He needs to draft TY Simpson to save the team.....

I can not draft a CB to save myself and Im still having big trouble in the 3rd round. Heres my "DAM IT I MISSED CB, but overall hauled in a bunch of good players" draft. Plus Dan has made it hard- Safety has 4 guys and the normal carry in-season. DL has 6, again normal carry WR has 6-7-8 too many Even ILB has Lloyd, wallance, Bam, and Ched that's enough for in-season. I feel OL and CB/NB/DB/weapon needs more from my drafts, I just follow the board tho.

No agent on Gods green earth is going to suggest that, he will have us by the short hairs when it comes time to negotiate.

Bryce will take a team friendly deal to make up for the fact he sucked for 2 years and we had to trade the farm for him. Trust

I think with Teps comments this offseason Bryce is here to stay. I have mentally prepared myself for this. Closely watching Miami and AZ to see how long it takes to correct a mistake

I see tools as a general term that doesn't really encompass a lot of specifics. Great QB mind but he lacks the physical tools. Why. He's 5'3. Arm strength, power, size, explosion. Some things to look at that you can put a check in the box and then move on to evaluation of skill. Arms are an inch too short so he doesn't have the tools but he was an elite level tackle in college. Yeah that's when skill matters and fug having all the 'tools". Tools are why we didn't draft Slater.

I truly wonder what they are thinking if/when they have to give Bryce a new deal?

I had him as a hopeful 4th rounder, but he might not be there.

The Bryce question means a lot this offseason with so many positives in place stability in the system only thing I can think of would be Bryce being a mini workout warrior this offseason to bulk up as much as possible. Not body building strength just ripped up a little basically finding his NFL body. I hope he comes back like he’s been in the gym with a purpose.

To the best of my knowledge, he is the only one we have talked to...he can run the full route tree. They showed us their "type" of TE when they showed interest in Njoku. I think they would rather have a veteran. Over the past 2 years, they have done some "bottom fishing" for a gem on day 3 (Sanders, Evans)

I’m hoping fs in the first and dt in the second

Justin Joly in the 3rd.

One-year deals for the bulk of these guys means they are purely placeholders. Phillips and Lloyd are the only two the front office wanted here long term, meaning we got a bunch of rentals in FA for next season. It's like shopping at the Good Will store for a Halloween costume only to donate the items on November 1st.

Nm apparently Moton is under contract next season as well

LOL Seriously, did anyone even know this existed? Everyone knows about the NIT (Not Invited Tournament), but did anyone realize there was a third tier conference for teams that even got snubbed by the NIT?

thx. other than the potential for 1 year players to show off their impact and potentially make more $$, are there any other upsides for a player viewpoint to want a 1 year contract?

Yeah I find myself flipping between the worst case scenario of Bryce either playing just mediocre enough for our decision makers to justify giving him a contract extension in their eyes because they want to justify drafting him. Or Bryce going back to playing poorly and us having no one else to fall back on because Pickett might be decent for one or two games but there's no one else and our locker room starts to get ugly because we went all in with our salary cap and guys careers are on the line. This scenario which IMO is the higher probability given our schedule and the amount of tape out there on Bryce is why I say if we can trade down and acquire a few more mid or late round picks we should draft a developmental QB. Not looking for a guy to be the savior but someone with the necessary physical tools and who could actually run a QB sneak. But we'll just have to see how it shakes out. I just want a competitive team but the last thing I want is the season to fall apart because we once again threw our arms up in regards to the QB room.

^This. Rico was dynamite when we needed it last season, but not enough to keep but it massively upped his earning potential. It was a win-win for both sides. And he was there to cover the hole left by the injury to another RB, and hopefully his release to free agency means there's good news for us on the way. These new ones give us the opportunity to do that again, on the offensive line and elsewhere. We've got some long term question marks here and there due to injuries and age, and these players have a chance to up their value on the open market or settle down with us if the opportunity arises. And none of it ties us down with dead money down the road if it doesn't work out. And we've been in dead money hell for a decade now. Lease the ones you like, buy if you fall in love.

Our red zone offense was excruciatingly painful to watch last season. A half decent TE would do a lot to change that.

We have a Vezi and it’s not who we thought!

The 3rd through the 5th rounds are where the value is if we are interested. I really don't like the idea of Sadiq. While he's the top of the group, it's a depth year for the position. He would have been TE3, at best, in last year's group.

I can’t let this thread end without highlighting Walker’s great kick save! https://x.com/caniacchic/status/2032993789480976825?s=46
