They are absolutely still protecting Bryce. They are giving him one last shot before they close the door. I mean this kid has started all three of his first seasons in the league playing like one of the worst QB's in Panthers history. The issue is you can't rule out the Panthers decision makers seeing just enough from him to convince themselves he's worth an extension. If he needs to be carried in any way shape or form across the season for us to be competitive then he has to go.

The cap is workable for sure although I think some people here are definitely hopped up on hopium going as far as calling it a myth and this and that. Best case scenario would be to ride it out and let Bryce sink or swim. The pieces are in place and we will add even more with the draft. If he sinks which there is a high probability of it based on his physical limitations then you insert another QB into the fold in 2027 like the Seahawks did with Sam Darnold and keep it pushing. But if the decision makers are not looking closely at the very glaring cautionary tale of Tua and the Dolphins and are mulling over sinking the cap on BY now that would be akin to career suicide for anyone involved IMO. I cannot rule out the possibility unfortunately.

Brissett is intriguing. But he'll be 34 near the end of this upcoming season and that cliff for aging QB's shows up quick fast and in a hurry.

Most would agree Derrick Brown is the safest bet with kicking the can down the road. The issue is it isn't going to stop there and someone like Jaycee Horn is probably next. That's where we enter murky waters.

If they are truly considering it at this juncture they will be lucky to get a job anywhere else with any level of comparable responsibility again. The whole point of having a playoff window is to have maneuverability and that will cease with a BY contract extension for a QB who is realistically bottom 10 amongst all starters.

Njoku for comparison whom many are saying is injury prone has a higher durability rating FYI https://www.draftsharks.com/fantasy/injury-history/david-njoku/7770

I like the potential of Chig Okonkwo.

One link I saw from Facebook said 3 million in value with up to 6 million in incentives.

So decent stopgap? I still want us to draft a center. It is long overdue.

Two first round picks for a guy with very questionable knees who will be 29 this summer. Yes it is safe to say the Ravens got cold feet.

That's absolutely what it was.

33-33 in mid March. I'll take that progress.

83 points on 43 shot attempts

John Ellis looking like Stan Switek from Miami Vice.

Pin the post.

Let's hope so. But for arguably the worst OT in the league even league minimum is too much.

Fưck Cam Jordan and the Saints.

So we paid 18.5 million for a turnstile? Dan Fitterer baby!

On the Canales doesn't use TE's talk. For the most part the bread and butter for TE's is the middle of the field or to the sideline is it not? I specifically remember Newton and Olsen being deadly on those quick outs to the sideline. Realistically neither is something that our starting QB has shown consistent success with 3 years in the league.

Phillips took a steep overpay that any other human in his shoes would have signed. But he is undoubtedly very talented. Lloyd looks to be a situation of he quickly realized the value of himself in his and his agents eyes did not align with the rest of the league based on the sample size. I mean when your top suitors are the mess that is the Bengals and the Panthers that doesn't make it a very difficult decision.

There are worse options. I'm not bothered by Moore returning as long as the contract is basically bare minumum.

The same place he got his jaw rearranged for the same mentality he showed in Las Vegas. If anyone deserves this it's Geno Smith.

I mean removing the homer shades there really isn't much of a strategy other than everyone involved is making decisions to save their jobs not having much if any concern about a few years from now. For better or worse they are going all in. We better take a couple of really big steps forward in 2026.
