The modern NFL doesn't value Free Safety. So to modernize is to put a low priority on the position. We are already there.

touche. LETS see how your little buddy does in the playoffs at Center....

Here is my perfect mock draft...I have no idea why McDonald fell so far, but I would supplement him with Domonique "Big Citrus" Orange in real life. This draft would cook!!!!

Oh. Hell. Yea!

All draftees are project players, but with some the project just goes faster.

How did you see this and say his athleticism doesn't show up? They literally run bubble screen with him.. a tight.. how rare is that and he pulls away from people making big home run plays. If nothing else you see the speed and that he's a hands catcher. I get his route running isn't where it needs to be yet which is why he is even possibly on the board at 19.

they back loaded the crap out of Phillips and Lloyd's contracts

Yeah, I thought he played better the 2nd half of the season also. That being said, he definitely got picked apart in the playoff game and only got the INT in the other Rams game because of DB deflecting the ball at the LOS

I think that's good value. I'm in the minority, but I actually thought Nick Scott played pretty well the 2nd half of the year, minus the Rams playoffs game. Hopefully he isn't our starting FS next year and can be backup FS and be the special teams contributor he should have been since day 1 from us.

I still think Sadiq has too many red flags to take with our 1st round pick. We are talking about a guy that averaged 40 yards/game, despite having a spread offense that is easy to produce yards in with Oregon + a Heisman caliber QB. You can have all the straight line speed and vertical in the world - if you don't know how to run routes, read zone defenses, and use your body to body up defenders to make contested catches, you aren't going to be great in the NFL. His athleticism does not show up on tape at all for me and I don't see him being successful as an inline tight end. If we are going to take a chance on tight ends that disappointed in college that probably can't be an inline TE, I would much rather use a pick on Klare in the 3rd round.

kenny picket has been my least favorite signing by the panthers so far mainly bc of his cost thought better options cheaper existed. non panther team news cant believe chiefs traded and are gonna let jfields back up mahomes

then this is likely his last job. (Kidding--long story about ASU and me--still not over it) He was very good last year.

Great QB play, yes. I am guilty of thinking we don’t have it so why bother with TE. I just get negative on things in general over it. But TE, and do they make the difference? I will say this, I forget what year it was, but KC was in the playoffs and people were playing them tight and when it came down to it they could not cover Kelce. No answer for him. So they can make a big difference. FWIW Kelce was a third round pick. I suspect you will find many famous successful TEs who were not 1st rounders. I am against using the 1st on Sadiq this year. But would welcome taking another shot if we can find a good bet later on.

This, and also ''how'' the 1st year of the deal actually pays. As an example, Phillips' first year is 9M. Whereas in 27, and beyond, the cap hit is much higher at 30M+. However, future restructures / extensions can address the new, higher cap hits if needed. A'Shawn Robinson was also released, and that created 10M in space. Moving on from Andy (eventually), I believe, will also add another 4M eventually.

Restructured contracts like Brown's

I don't understand how they got this cap to spend on free agents. Can someone explain it? I though we only had 20 million and we still have to pay the rookies.

Your math is off there. 63 games x 16.5 TOI = ~1000 minutes total ice time. 53 games x 9 TOI = ~500 minutes total ice time. Double the ice time, double the production. Janky might be slightly more productive on the year. However, if we take this discussion outside of that fancy Dyson vacuum, you could factor in things like positional changes, age, progression or experience. Stank started the season learning a completely new position in his 2nd full NHL season. He was hot garbage to begin and has gotten consistently better ever since. Jank is the same player now, that he was in October. You absolutely cannot say the same for Logan. And, if you think that Jankowski, currently, is a better 2C for this team than Stankoven, then I have some authentic Panthers SB50 Championship Rings to sell you.

The first big piece of news happened early in the day on the West Coast for one of the targets, the next happened after a transatlantic flight with a stop in Charlotte got the other one back to Florida after dark. The day really got going when some of them were in the shower, or working out — not expecting it to happen so fast. The next big piece of news happened while some of them were in bed because they're responsible, or pacing the hallway outside the room where it happened like an expectant father in a black-and-white movie, or sitting on the floor, or crashing on any couch they could find. By the end of a workday that was pushing 17 hours for some of them, the Panthers finally (or again) fell asleep with two priority free agents, pass-rusher Jaelan Phillips and linebacker Devin Lloyd, the targeted strikes they dreamed about but weren't sure they could actually land. https://www.panthers.com/news/gradually-then-suddenly-panthers-moved-quickly-and-patiently-to-land-their-top-free-agent-targets-jaelan-phillips-devin-lloyd

A behind-the-scenes look at the way the Panthers navigated free agency last week to agree to deals with Jaelan Phillips and Devin Lloyd during a very busy but very long first day of the negotiating period. By Darin GanttMar 16, 2026

I want Kayden McDonald

Fs, time for the panthers to get modernized in the nfl. matter of fact anything defense related I’m all for. Been beating the drum about how close the defense is to elite, so a dt, a fs, wlb, cb are all green lights for me. Fs is long over due for an investment

Honestly he is about 50/50 to make the roster this year. Draft will be big if a early 1-3 pick is used on DL, that would drop his odds to like 20%.
