Josh Klein: Utilizing restraint and not letting their top free agent or trade target go because the compensation got too high was not something the Panthers were doing two years ago. When your job is on the line, you make moves to appease your boss and for short term success. Having a multi-year plan and sticking to it is a recipe for (dare I say it) sustained excellence. You need to hit on the players you bring in, but I am a big believer that good process leads to good results most of the time. The last 24 hours was good process, imo.

(Special)Juan Thornhill would make sense for us

Who is it, Slick Rick?

Money would not be an issue to Tepper unlike that cheapskate Bengals owner. I’d worry about the massive compensation we would have to give up, multiple 1st rounders

We need a specific type of WR a speedy field stretcher type Darius Slayton would have fit maybe Nick Westbrook from Tennessee is an option

Per Mike Kaye My view on today with some quick Kaye's Takes: - Re-signing the starting CBs through 2026 is good stability, even if Jackson's contract doesn't prohibit you from investing a high pick in another CB. - Moehrig is exactly what the #Panthers needed from a tone-setting perspective at safety. He's an excellent run defender and has a nose for the ball as a playmaker. - Wharton and Brown complement each other, really. Brown is the two-down run defender, while Wharton can play a few different positions as an interior pass rusher. They can rotate. Carolina clearly wants to use DL platoons, and their additions help that with DB and AR. - Jones fits the opportunistic model of free agency. Get a guy off this rookie deal with upside and flashes and see if he can be a bigger contributor in your scheme. Good size and mid-20s. I get it even if it's seemingly underwhelming at edge on Day 1.

What do all four signings have in common; all are coming off their rookie contracts going into their 5th year. Dan and Brandt have a clear plan and vision for the players they bring in.

DeAndre Hopkins come on down

- Still need another starting safety - backup RB (according to PNP Youtube we had interest in Javonte Williams before he signed with Dallas) - WR

so 2 years $15 million similar to DJ Wonnums deal last year
