I love Trevor's enthusiasm for anything football

Ex-Bengal 1st rounder Johan Williams is another realistic option

Thank God I would have loved those comp picks but replacing our DC with someone better at this stage of the season would have been difficult

I think Dan will look to upgrade from Nijman. A cap casualty like Jawaan Taylor or a guy who sat out all last year in Jedrick Wills would be better options.

Rico Dowdle CARRunning Back#5 ESPN’s David Newton believes that unless Rico Dowdle “wants to return at a bargain price, he appears headed to his third team in three seasons.” Dowdle was notably down on how little he was used in the regular season finale and in the playoffs, where he rushed a combined 12 times for 19 yards, and said that would be a “factor” in his free agency. Dowdle’s fantasy stock could take a big upturn if he wound up being the obvious lead back on a new team this offseason. The Chiefs, Saints and Texans come to mind as (our speculation) possibilities. Chuba Hubbard’s stock would similarly rebound if Dowdle took off to greener pastures.

Top priority The Panthers' top offseason priority isn't actually an unrestricted free agent. It's locking in wide receiver Jalen Coker for the long term. Biggest dilemma Left tackle. There's a good chance Ikem Ekwonu, the sixth pick of the 2022 draft, misses part or all of the 2026 season after suffering a ruptured patella tendon in his right knee against the Rams. Rest of the O-line The interior with Hunt and Lewis is set, as is right tackle Taylor Moton, who is under contract through 2027 after signing an extension in August. So re-signing center Cade Mays becomes a priority.

I loved his press conferences he was terrific to listen to

Good!

Tillis is terrific I'm happy we have him

Good stuff

I could see this

Taking a WR in the first round for the 3rd consecutive year would be absolutely idiotic. Jeremiah is a fine draft analyst but he's clearly just putting names to teams with no insight of the inner workings of these teams.

Pick 19 Carolina Panthers Jordyn Tyson Arizona State · WR · Junior (RS) The Panthers have a stud in Tetairoa McMillan, and I like what I saw from Jalen Coker at the end of the season, but choosing Tyson would complete the WR room.

Bingo

Per Tony Pauline: During a recent team-needs piece on the Houston Texans, I mentioned that the team has a screaming need on the interior of their offensive line. That same day, I also mentioned in a separate article on the Carolina Panthers that center Cade Mays was not expected back and will hit the free-agent market in March. Sources here at the Shrine Bowl expect the Texans to make a run at Mays once free agency opens to fill the hole they have at center. Mays, a sixth-round pick by Carolina in 2022, has started 27 games for the Panthers, including 20 over the past two seasons.
