Dan Morgan says he hasn’t actually spoken to anyone about a potential Andy Dalton trade. Says he would give Andy the option to explore the opportunity if a trade was on the table, but they plan on trying to get younger at the backup spot. Added that he isn’t “giving away picks” and that they gotta “build through the draft https://x.com/duncondemand/status/2027108938747896034?s=46&t=xeIgh_-Vr2aKxBkBJdfnKA

Btw, Mike Kaye doubled down on this take today on the terrific Processing Blue podcast. He believes Lloyd will be a very realistic option

Lloyd Cushenberry FACenter#79 Titans released C Lloyd Cushenberry. Cushenberry was one of several marquee signings by the Titans from the 2024 offseason. He landed a four-year, $50 million deal after playing out his rookie deal with the Broncos. Much like most of their other moves from that spending spree, this one failed to pay off. Cushenberry was graded as a bottom-five center by Pro Football Focus in both of his seasons in Tennessee. He should still be able to land a starting job, though his next team will be paying him far less than the Titans did.

4 potential trade suitors for Panthers QB Andy Dalton https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2026/02/25/nfl-trade-rumors-suitors-panthers-andy-dalton/88864003007/

Andy Dalton CARQuarterback#14 ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports the Panthers have “been getting calls about Andy Dalton for a potential trade.” Dalton has one year left on his current deal in Carolina. The team signed him as Bryce Young’s backup in 2023. He saw significant playing time in 2024 and the team kept him around as a break glass incase of emergency option to replace Young. Dalton was only needed for one start last year. He threw for 175 scoreless yards and an interception while taking seven sacks. The Panthers got trounced by the Bills with a final score of 9-40. The fact that there are still teams interested in Dalton, even as a backup, speaks to the stagnant state of quarterback play across the league. The Panthers wouldn’t fetch more than a late-round pick for Dalton.

100% Dan is simply trying to get something for him. Expect Andy to be released next week

Tepper Sports & Entertainment unveils plans for immersive experience center ahead of Bank of America Stadium renovations https://www.panthers.com/news/tepper-sports-entertainment-unveils-plans-for-immersive-experience-center-ahead-of-bank-of-america-stadium-renovations

Update: They didn’t stay static with offensive process even with a playoff berth. https://x.com/mike_e_kaye/status/2026374014927552793?s=46&t=xeIgh_-Vr2aKxBkBJdfnKA

Kaye’s Take: In the rush to blame one or the other, I think the missing thought for most is that maybe it’s BOTH Dave Canales and Bryce Young who aren’t performing consistently well as a tandem partnership together. When it’s great (ATL/DAL), it’s great, but it’s rarely great. Typically, it’s bad (SF/NE/NO) or fine (MIA/NYJ/ATL WK3). If you’re management or ownership, I’m not sure how you can watch these first 12 games and say this is a sustainable workflow. Sure, they’ll probably go and have another big one in the next five games but that’s a 20% firework, not a rocket ship. The #Panthers are a 6-6 slinky of a team because consistency can’t be forged when chemistry is fleeting and fledging. One way or another, there needs to be changes to offensive infrastructure (fwiw that’s life in an NFL offseason anyway). Even if a playoff run happens, the whole point of this slower, thoughtful process (which does have merit) is to not overachieve, accept, and then sink. The team has done a lot of things well behind the scenes and they have generally improved in a lot of areas on the field (defense - talent and coaching, development, rookie class, etc), but you can’t just put your head in the sand https://x.com/mike_e_kaye/status/1993354173640065364?s=46&t=xeIgh_-Vr2aKxBkBJdfnKA

I love this for them, and me

Agree. I think we bring back Corbett as Cade is as good as gone

"Center Cade Mayes was not expected back and will hit the free-agent market in March. Sources here at the Shrine Bowl expect the [Houston] Texans to make a run at Mayes once free agency opens to fill the hole they have at center. Mayes, a sixth-round pick by Carolina in 2022, has started 27 games for the Panthers, including 20 over the past two seasons." - Tony Pauline
