That is very sad. R.I.P. Joseph Lemmons aka u/Joslemmons.

If the Panthers surrender at least three first-round picks, another draft pick, a young player or two and include Jeremy Chinn, Brian Burns, Derrick Brown, and/or Jaycee Horn, in my opinion it would cripple the team so bad it would take years for them to recover.

The NFL and Colin Kaepernick has probably already passed the point of no return. And giving him a route back into the league could be portrayed as an empty gesture with very little substance.

Exactly. If we gut the team to obtain Watson, we would have a worse team than the one he complained about playing on because it was so sorry.

Like i stated on a previous thread, a dumb move in my would be selling the farm for QB Deshaun Watson. Taking this big of a a risk and giving up significant draft capital is simply not an option no matter how talented Watson is on the field. There are now serious doubts about Watson’s character that simply wasn’t there before. The magnitude of these allegations dictate such perceptions and many would not welcome him like they were willing to with open arms around this time last year.

Among the players we know reportedly heading to Seattle: backup QB Drew Lock. According to Pelissero, he was informed Tuesday afternoon that he was part of the Wilson trade, as was defensive end Shelby Harris and tight end Noah Fant. As far as the draft picks, quite a few are reportedly headed to Seattle: Two first-round picks, two second-round picks, and a fifth-round pick, while a fourth-round pick is headed to Denver with Wilson.

The Panthers have a lot to figure out this offseason, particularly at the quarterback position. Darnold's 5th-year option was picked up for $18 million prior to the start of the 2021 season meaning he will be under contract through next season. I don't see there being much trade value for him and even if the Panthers do find a trade partner, they will have to pay a large amount of what is owed to him and get very little in return. With that said, it makes the most sense to just place the focus on rebuilding the offensive line and gut out one more season with Darnold at the helm. If he doesn't improve behind a better line, than you can move on from him after next season and not owe him a dime.

The NFL rule betting on Football: All NFL Personnel are prohibited from placing, soliciting, or facilitating any bet, whether directly or indirectly through a third-party, on any NFL game, practice or other event. If the NFL want to assure the rule is enforced they have to have a severe penalty for its violation and that is exactly what they did in Calvin Ridleys case. ("Falcons' Ridley banned for season and forfeits $11m salary after betting on NFL games. The NFL has banned Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley for the entire 2022 season – and possibly longer – for betting on games. The suspension means he will forfeit his $11.1m salary for 2022.")

Cox/Getty Images Bet Now! Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley has been suspended for at least the 2022 season after betting on NFL games, per NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo. The alleged activity took place during a five-day period in November 2021 while Ridley was away from the team and on the non-football illness list. He stepped away to deal with mental health issues. This suspension will cause Ridley’s contract to toll for the 2022 season, putting him under contract until the 2023 season with the Falcons. Ridley is eligible to apply for reinstatement on Feb 15, 2023, and can appeal the suspension within three days. The NFL’s press release, seen below, states that Ridley had no inside information or involved any “coaches, staff’ teammates or other players in his betting activity.”

The Panthers’ offensive line was a major problem this year. They were listed as second to last in terms of Pro Football Focus ratings and had to many performances that left a lot to be desired. There are many teams who have good or even premier linemen that if were included in any potential trade for Christian McCaffery, could improve this critical area and even enable the Panthers to enjoy more success in 2022 and possibly beyond. When you think about it, trading your best offensive player to improve your offense sounds impractical. But the Panthers’ protection in front of whoever is under center is in dire need of reinforcements, so pulling the trigger to fix this is a discussion that needs to be had if another team comes in with a suitable offer. As unusual as it seems, it could be the blockbuster trade to get Panthers offense on track for success in the coming years.

The article stated the following : { If Willis can put everything together and a coaching staff can mold him correctly, he has a shot at being one of the new dominant quarterbacks in the NFL. One that everyone is looking for. He would be well worth the No. 6 overall selection owned by the Carolina Panthers. Whether he ends up here is another matter.} {If the Panthers go QB in the draft, I can see them drafting Willis as the long term QB answer.} Former Panthers all time great Steve Smith stated that he would like to see the Panthers draft Willis with their # 6 first round draft pick. Personally,I value his opinion more than these so called draft experts.

The same thing i have been saying most of the year.

I only have these words to express my feeling about a Robby Anderson trade. Do it. Do it. Do it.

This

(" Carolina Trades this years #6 overall 1st round pick and 4th round pick to Philly.") (" Philly trades this years 16th Overall 1st Round Pick and 19th Overall 1st Round Pick." (" Now pick two of the follow: ") OT Trevor Penning C Tyler Linderbaum OG Kenyon Green I would make that trade in a heart beat and select any 2 of the 3 offensive linemen. My guess is that 1, perhaps 2 of them will be selected by the 16th pick.

Ian Thomas is proving he is a "Lame Brain" and should fit perfectly in this current sideshow that is posing as an NFL football team.

Ian Thomas, $16.5 million for 3 years. A player that would probably not be able to make another NFL team. Give me a freaking break!

Until the Panthers find a long-term answer at quarterback, and fix the offensive line, it's going to be hard to see a long-term direction. But at the moment, they've chosen to go with organizational stability, rather than join a quarter of the league starting over again, picking through a diluted market of coaching options. Tepper said it would take time to fix what he viewed as a depleted roster. His actions suggest he's prepared to allow this staff time to work on it.

That was a well writen article by Ellis L. Williams but sadly he seemed as lost as i am about how the Panthers can solve their quarterback problem.

WalterFoot latest Mock Draft by Charlie Cambell: 6. Carolina Panthers: Ikem Ekonwu, OT, N.C. State The Panthers tried to upgrade their offensive line with veteran journeymen in the past two offseasons, and they have the price with a weak and underwhelming blocking front. Carolina needs to bring in some legit talent for for its offensive line. Here's a left tackle upgrade. Ekwonu (6-4, 320) put together an impressive 2021 regular season that earned him high grades from NFL teams. In speaking to one director of player personnel, they said their team had Ekwonu as a mid- to late first-round pick. Ekonwu has experience at both guard and tackle from the Wolfpack, but projects as being able to play left tackle in the NFL. He is a fierce and physical run blocker. While Ekonwu has some things to work on as a pass blocker, the potential is there for him to stay on the edge as a pro. Click here for a Ikem Ekonwu Scouting Report 9. Denver Broncos: Charles Cross, OT, Mississippi State If Denver doesn't use this pick in a trade for a veteran quarterback, the organization could use it to add a young edge rusher or a right tackle. With the top edge rushers off the board, the Broncos could take a tackle like Cross who could start out on the right side but eventually move to left tackle for them. The 6-foot-5, 310-pound Cross looks like a future starting left tackle in the NFL and impressed team evaluators in 2021. Cross has excellent feet, athleticism, and quickness to play on the edge. For the next level, sources say Cross needs to get stronger and bigger for taking on pro linemen, but that is not abnormal. They feel after a little developmental time, Cross could be a good NFL left tackle.

The Following Is An UpDate From The Viking Territory: It is unclear if the Vikings are even shopping Cousins. There are many people in the world who believe Cousins isn’t very good compared to his contractual value – and they just assume the Vikings leadership wants to trade him. No person associated with Minnesota’s current leadership has detailed plans to trade Cousins. Instead, the opposite sentiment has been voiced, especially at Kevin O’Connell’s introductory press conference last week. The new Vikings skipper expressed optimism about building Minnesota’s offense around Cousins. And those aren’t exactly words that jell with an impending trade of the person being praised. However, if Cousins refused to restructure his contract, the franchise might not have a choice. Cousins will slap a $45 million cap hit against the books in 2022, and the Vikings need money for free agency and the draft.

Great looking ring. You Sir are a devoted fan.

(This Statement Was Copied From A Disgusted Panthers Fan) I’ve been a Panthers fan since they entered the league years ago. I’ve never known back-to-back winning seasons, even with generational talents like Cam Newton and Luke Kuechly. We are a dynasty of pain, with a fanbase that’s satisfied with mediocrity so long as the players have a nice smile and kiss babies on the forehead. We have an actual, official fan club called The Roaring Riot who claim they are “Undefeated at Tailgaiting”, like being in your mid 40s and slamming craft beers while playing cornhole and singing Sweet Caroline is some achievement in fandom. Our former head coach bragged about winning the division three times in a row, despite winning it once with a losing record. He was given a better sendoff than Cam Newton. Our new coach resembles a gerbil and has the sensibilities to match. We fumbled the release of arguably the most important player in franchise history, but it’s only the first time we bungled a release if you don’t count Steve Smith, Deangelo Williams, Josh Norman, or Greg Olsen. We brought in the backup of the Saints just to watch the fanbase (me included) incinerate him on social media. Somehow, we still thought that Sam Darnold was an upgrade over Teddy Bridgewater. The Saints have been caught up in cheating scandals and helped the Catholic Church avoid a pedophilia scandal, yet they still somehow come out looking better than our team.
