Captain Morgan

Joe Person @josephperson · 33m Panthers GM Dan Morgan says team will wait until after the draft before exercising the fifth-year option on QB Bryce Young. "We'll get that done once he gets back in the building."

Joe Person @josephperson · 24m Dan Morgan says he thinks the DL group this year is "a little top heavy."

Alex Zietlow @alexzietlow05 · 20m If a wide receiver is the best player available at 19, Morgan said he “wouldn’t hesitate” to draft him. Mike Kaye @mike_e_kaye · 21m #Panthers GM Dan Morgan says he doesn’t think there’s a rule against selecting a WR in the first round three years in a row. He says he’s always going to take the best player available.

update from today Edgar Salmingo, Jr. @PanthersAnalyst · 4h We now have 25 private visits (21/30 and 4 local) reported for the #Panthers: QB Haynes King Behren Morton Diego Pavia RB Kaelon Black WR Denzel Boston Chris Braswell II Deion Burks KC Concepcion* Omar Cooper, Jr. TE Oscar Delp Justin Joly Dae'Quan Wright OT Travis Burke Max Iheanachor OL Chase Bisontis DL Nick Barrett* Chris McClellan Tyler Onyedim Domonique Orange OLB Keyron Crawford CB Jermod McCoy Karon Prunty* S AJ Haulcy Jalon Kilgore* Treydan Stukes

Jaelan Phillips, Devin Lloyd and the rest of the Carolina Panthers’ new recruits will begin work at Bank of America Stadium on April 20.

Those workouts are considered voluntary. Mandatory minicamp will run June 9 to June 11.

interesting...who is the OT named Parker?

much better ranking of all 32 teams (hint: lolcons at 31, Bucs at 27, Saints at 16, Panthers at 5) https://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/article/nfl-power-rankings-whos-having-best-offseason-so-far-vikings-kyler-murray-signing-might-not-be-the-elixir-it-seems-231106820.html

ain't gonna miss him....he was a dawg

great points. I want the FS too, but OT is where I'm hoping we'll find our value in the first. Getting Walker at 10 mill for one year should raise some dadgum eyebrows....nobody wanted to pay more? I fear I'm forever scarred at the years we went without Jordan Gross after he retired. It was like they just didn't make any LTs for 6 years that came anywhere near our draft position. If one is there around 19, I feel we need to take him. We can't just go into next year hoping a good LT will fall to us. We've seen that before and it wasn't pretty. And one injury to Walker or Moton, and we are looking scary bad in Bryce's most important prove it season.

more than impressive when you look at the whole thing @mike_e_kaye Something that’ll likely get lost in the Rico Dowdle conjecture and the Devin Lloyd-Jaelan Phillips headlines for the #Panthers is that Dan Morgan and Brandt Tilis have done the following with the use of one-year deals: - Retained all four of their restricted-eligible FAs on deals substantially less than the lowest restricted tender - Retained JJ Jansen, Akayleb Evans, Trevis Gipson, Robert Rochell and David Moore on near-vet minimum deals (but with additional perks for most). - They signed a starting-caliber LT on an incentive-laden deal that won’t hinder them in 2027 if it doesn’t work out. Plus, they don’t need force an OT pick in April. - They’ve been able to do all this while simply cutting one player and restructuring another (more likely to come but not necessarily dire) - The bulk of the signings being 1-year deals makes the inherent risk quite low - They only lost three players from last year’s division-winning team thus far: Mays, Dowdle and Robinson (released). D’Anthony Bell was waived during the playoffs. - They’ve done this all while staying “whole” with seven picks in the draft. https://x.com/mike_e_kaye/status/2032810061806866673

was ranked the best FA available just this morning https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/columnist/nate-davis/2026/03/11/nfl-free-agency-best-available-players-new-league-year/89104939007/

Saints fans were thinking Cam was heading back to NO. Turns out, no Dixon Syder @DixonSyderNFL · Mar 12 JUST IN: Former #Saints star DE Cam Jordan is expected to sign with the #Chiefs, per source Chris Jones getting a new running mate?

not sure if this is the best place to post this, but this is very good tool to learn about each prospect. NFL.com does it every year. Pretty sure I remember reading that teams also use it, but can't say for sure. Gives great info on the position each prospect is best for, scheme fits and their weaknesses. https://www.nfl.com/draft/tracker/prospects/all-positions/all-colleges/all-statuses/2026?page=2

as noted by scouts....he can't move fast enough at 360, losing 30 to get down to 330 ain't gonna magically make him mobile. Don't want him.

Metchie, 25, was a two-year starter at Alabama. The Texans selected him with the No. 44 overall pick in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft. Metchie was working his way back from an ACL tear as a rookie when he was also diagnosed with leukemia, causing him to miss his entire rookie season. He was in the final year of a four-year $8,070,172 rookie contract that included a $3,049,216 signing bonus when the Eagles opted to trade him to the Jets in exchange for Michael Carter II and a late-round 2027 pick swap. New York declined to tender him as a restricted free agent in 2026. In 2025, Metchie appeared in 16 games for the Jets and Eagles and caught 33 passes on 48 targets for 274 yards and two touchdowns. https://nfltraderumors.co/panthers-signing-wr-john-metchie/

played with Bryce in college

TEs expected to move today, and Panthers may be a destination https://x.com/DixonSyderNFL/status/2031729096665747704

Juan must be sick Mike Kaye @mike_e_kaye · 3h The #Panthers have restructured DE Derrick Brown's contract with an addition of two void years, a league source confirms. @spotrac, who had the restructure first, reports the reworking saves $13.5 million in space.

Joe Person @josephperson · 17m Fortner has started 44 games in four seasons after the Jags drafted him in the third round in 2022. He was ranked 74th on The Athletic's list top 150 FAs.

makes Horn's 25 mill per year deal look good ... also Darin Gantt @daringantt · 22m Between him and Demario Davis leaving New Orleans, and Mike Evans leaving Tampa, there's all kinds of good news for the Panthers. Quote Ian Rapoport @RapSheet · 28m The #Titans aren’t done, they’ve agreed to terms with CB Alontae Taylor, as the former #Saints star moves on. He gets a 3-year deal worth $60M with $42M fully guaranteed in a deal done by Trevon Smith of @AthletesFirst.
