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.

I'm not going to pretend I know a ton about Canales. I see he did more than we ever could with Baker and got decent performance of a bad running back room. Johnson would be great but i'm almost to the point where give me Vrabels. Man do those Rivera days seem nice compared to what we have now to watch.

I'm not totally buying in but I'll remain hopeful. Being negative 24/7 like many on this site are has to be a drain. I just hope we dont try to fix it all in one offseason. Lets shoot for 5-6 wins and to get rid of the dead money and void year contract stuff so we have money for the long term future.

Hopefully we will stop adding Void years to contracts now until we are atleast clearly a Playoff team.

If i like what he does in the draft and free agency I will probably go find one of his jerseys for $50 on ebay. Also I'll still end up going to a game this year.
