Agreed with what another posted. Let the players see how we handle business. Extend Brown and Luvu and they will get the message. I’m all for keeping him at 23-24mil I just don’t think it will happen. How can we say this guy deserves more than Crosby? I was one who wanted to pay him 27-28 last off season scared of him balling out in Evero’s defense but didn’t happen. Now not sure if he’s worth that.

this is how I feel exactly. Would love to get a 4th-6th too to take an extra flyer.

I hope to trade down 3-7 picks and take BPA. We needs so much help. WR of course, IOL was so bad last year, but are we sure Corbett can stay healthy? Looking at linebacker has to be a concern. We so many holes with Burns/Luvu future, and Shaq getting old and coming off injury, aswell as YGM and Haynes being FA's. Then cornerback spot Horn can't healthy and although i've liked Jackson unless something is done with his contract i'd be shocked if this is not his last season here.( I really hope we can work out a 1-2yr deal with Troy Hill. Shy Tuttle didnt look like a stud last year and after this year you could walk away from his contract as well. Just totally gutted from 3 bad drafts in a row. Mid round RB or flyer couldn't hurt incase move on from Chuba and or Sanders after this season. The more I think of it the more I dont know how it can't be BPA. We are definitely looking at a 2-3yr rebuild.

Grab Burton in the 4th and let’s reunite this if we address another need in the 2nd.

Yes we need shifty route runners. I’m to the point where we may Aswell run two slot WRs and run a bunch of motion. Hope they can get leverage and make a play. Which I hope Canales and his scheme work for. We can win throwing 5-15yd passes if once awhile someone with some wiggle breaks one.

This is my exact thinking. McConkey, Mitchell, Franklin, or Worthy. Someone has to fall a bit. We need assets. Only way I wouldn’t trade down is maybe if Brian Thomas Jr or Keon Coleman slips to 33. Legette doesn’t excite me, 5th year big bodied WR. I want someone with shiftiness. But yes all for a trade down and LB in 3rd. It could be Shaq’s last year, maybe YGM and Haynes are both gone. Perhaps even Burns in a Tag and trade. LB is big question mark.

I’m all for getting better. But you’ve lobbied for Higgins, extending Burns, and now sign Jones. Each player would make this team better I agree. I just don’t see we do all of that. Even if have all 3 next year and solid draft we wouldn’t break 10 wins. Detroit turned it around quickly with the right hire and recent success in the draft. We just have to hope Morgan/Canales can do the same. It starts with extending Brown and Luvu then hopefully 2 contributing quality starters this draft.

I'd love Chris Jones, just dont know why he'd come here. I'd prefer him over Burns if we had to choose who to give money to.

I’m rocking Panthers but don’t know what yet. Kuechly salute to service jersey, 47 brand Panthers sweater, or Nike drifit polo. I’m going to a place where I won’t know a ton of people so atleast the Panthers being bad can be a conversation starter sadly.

Luvu at 11/12mil gets me way more excited than paying 21+ for Burns. If we can make em both work im all for it but with such a depleted roster Luvu is the better bang for the buck.

No one thinks Bryce is better at this point. Not even down here in Alabama. We took the wrong QB but at some point you got to let it go and just hope Bryce progresses. I still wouldn’t have hate Bryce if he fell to #9. Just gave up too much to get him. Hindsight is always 20/20.

They did play terrible. Unless I’m getting a 3rd though I find it hard to part with theilen. We have to put some type of product on the field worth watching. Even if it’s only 5-6 wins I’m not prepared for another 2 win season.

its crazy to see how depleted this roster is and how fast it got there over the last 3 years. Take away the Bryce trade and its still terrible. Just the God awful draft day trades and the misses that are so bad mid round picks are out the league in 2 years. I know Rhule and Frank sucks but I blame a majority of suck last 3 years on Fitterer now that I look back.

I’m down to trade down but not past 40 if we can gain a 3rd or 4th. Troy Franklin, Ladd McConkey, Xavier Worthy, Adoni Mitchell, Keon Coleman, Brian Thomas Jr one of some of these guys will have to fall. Also Tvondre Sweat if we stick with a 3-4. Defense. We were terrible against the run so grab the biggest NT.

I do hope Luvu and Brown tie some of that up for us! fingers crossed. I hope the void years on some of these contracts of late is a thing of the past until we are actually a contender.

that 11.3 million is for 2025 season. Not this coming. We have 130 million in cap and by then can walk away from Hurst and Sanders so will go up even further. I'd take the gamble. If he plays good you can walk away from Djax and save another 5million if needed.

His average salary for his talent is a steal, but unless he demands a trade I don’t see why you’d trade him unless you got a haul of picks. With our lack of ammo I just can’t see how another team can’t offer a better package than us. Only realm of possibility is to get a first in a tag and trade for Burns and use that in the deal.

I’m not against taking a RB but I hope it’s not until the 5th round. We have too many other holes to address. Chubba is still under contract next year and Sanders’ contract makes it hard to walk away from until after next year. But have your #3 back start getting reps and learning the offense for the rebuild isn’t the worst thing.

Unless we are getting a 2nd rounder for him i think we have to see what he has in him to stay healthy. I'd love to sign Troy Hill to another 1 year deal. He looked serviceable.

It saves about 2 million in cap. If we draft one in the 4th/5th round I can see that happening.

Whew. Lions drafting these last 3 years . Must be nice. That GM deserves just as much credit as Dan Campbell. Makes me hopeful we can do the same.

Just please don’t hand out any stupid contracts and overpay just cause we suck. Tremble looked decent last half of season. Maybe he can continue to build. Unfortunately Hurst contract has too much dead money to cut this year but should be a no brainer next season. Keeping Brown and Luvu are the most important parts as we build out the culture. Low key need to extend Ish Smith Marsette. Our 2nd and 3rd round picks just need to be day one contributors as we build through the draft. I’m all for tag and trade for Burns Aswell. Outside of a pass rush he doesn’t bring much ,so not worth what he’s asking for.

Dumb idea. But what about grabbing this guy in like the 6th round. Christian already said he hoped to play with him one day. If we have him under contract for 4 years maybe he'll come back once his SF deal is up. Get him as a 3rd down back at the end of his career so when he eventually goes into the HOF itll be as a Panther. I know this wont happen but would be wayyy dope if it did.

6 games after this past season will seem great. I’d lock that in if I could.

we just came off a coach with plenty of experience and it was the worst season we've ever had. Fitt had all those years with Legion of Boom and Seattle and he was trash too.
