#Panthers one-year David Moore deal, $1.487M, $1.3M salary, $187,500 first game active-inactive roster bonus

Panthers will bring back TE James Mitchell on a 1-year deal, league source said. Mitchell was a restricted FA.

#Panthers one year, $2M Stone Forsythe, $1.05M gtd, $500K signing bonus, salary $1.215M ($550K salary gtd), $15K per game active roster bonus, $1.25M playtime, team rankings incentive. Max APY: $3.25M

Some context: Brown had pre-approval of restructuring in his contract, I'm told. So, it was a simple mechanism to convert his salary into a bonus. This is common in most long-term contracts to my understanding. To be clear, he's just getting a bonus payout, no new cash. https://x.com/mike_e_kaye/status/2031758993149104167?s=46

Adam Schefter on Maxx Crosby's failed Ravens physical: "My understanding is that there were multiple doctors that reviewed his MRI scans. There were doctors that examined him, including Dr. Daniel Cooper, the Dallas Cowboys doctor that performed surgery on Patrick Mahomes and Malik Nabers ... many teams & players rely on Dr. Cooper's expertise. And Dr. Cooper was one of the doctors that reviewed the images where the Ravens then felt compelled to back out of this trade." Have to wonder if this connects the dots on why Dallas may have left the Crosby sweepstakes... https://x.com/bobbybaltim0re/status/2031609583710474266?s=46

Raiders already have received calls from “several” teams inquiring about the availability of Maxx Crosby in a trade, per source. For now the Raiders are prepared to get Crosby healthy and have him play for Las Vegas. But they are listening to other teams. https://x.com/adamschefter/status/2031562086174634295?s=46

One NFL general manager told me everybody involved in Maxx Crosby trade talks knew he would be out until June/July coming off meniscus surgery. Consensus opinion I’ve got from NFL decision makers: Ravens got cold feet & it could impact how other teams work w/ BAL going forward. https://x.com/cameronwolfe/status/2031555750091206719?s=46

Maxx Crosby Agent: “Maxx continues to be on track in his recovery and if anything is ahead of schedule according to his surgeon Dr Neal El Attrache. Maxx remains on track to return during the offseason program & will undoubtedly return as the dominant game wrecker he has been these past 7 seasons.” https://x.com/cjlaboy/status/2031550722425369070?s=46

Texted with some one on a team that had a level of interest in Maxx Crosby initially to see if they were back in. They essentially said they've been scrambling since the news broke. "So much has changed since that trade. With us. With everybody. WTF" https://x.com/jamespalmertv/status/2031543259877830914?s=46

Can confirm. A team source tells me “we moved on with Rashan Gary, etc” https://x.com/slaternfl/status/2031541635155157141?s=46 ^talking about cowboys

One high-ranking executive for a team that talked to the Raiders about Crosby told me, "I don't know what they do now. I don't know how they walk it back." Presumably, another team could assess Crosby's knee and decide the risk is palatable. "They won't get two 1s though." https://x.com/mikesilver/status/2031529633171292403?s=46

“Correct. This is a depth move, IMO. Exclusively right tackle last season, exclusively left tackle the season prior. A mix of both early on in his career.” “Swing tackle/FG unit, experience on both LT/RT in a pinch. “ “Already the designated week one LT starter if Ickey’s out? I’d be reluctant to read minds, but I’d also be reluctant to answer yes to that question.” https://x.com/1pantherplace/status/2031540007173754898?s=46

The Dallas Cowboys are not expected to re-engage in Maxx Crosby trade discussions at this time, a high-ranking source tells The Athletic. https://x.com/dmrussini/status/2031538735460823527?s=46

Just based on profile, I read Forsythe's addition as a likely swing tackle behind Ekwonu or whomever they draft early in April. The #Panthers enter Wednesday with only Ekwonu and Moton under contract at the position. Wouldn't jump to conclusions on this one (not same at Fortner) https://x.com/mike_e_kaye/status/2031533263471153210?s=46

“so Maxx Crosby could be a Cowboy Dallas then backs out of the Rashan Gary deal Packers don't receive a 4th round pick Gary ultimately gets cut? tomorrow will be chaotic with all of these deals already agreed to!” https://x.com/joshnorris/status/2031525341013950477?s=46

Gotta wonder if the Cowboys step back in. Raiders have made a lot of moves under the belief that this deal was done. others have also mentioned the eagles as a possibility with us taking a certain edge rusher from them

Wow max crosby trade is off. Ravens backed out. Not seeing a reason yet, but deal was not finalized yet.

Mike kaye on the luke fortner addition https://x.com/mike_e_kaye/status/2031518675992219785?s=46

According to reports offensive tackle Stone Forsythe intends to sign with the Panthers. In the 2025 season with the Las Vegas Raiders, Forsythe played in 13 games, starting all of them. He primarily played left tackle, with 694 snaps at LT and 1 snap at RT, earning a PFF grade of 55.2 with 5 penalties and 11 sacks allowed https://x.com/keepblitzin/status/2031519177018609762?s=46

In the 2025 Fortner allowed 3 sacks and recorded 11 pressures over 678 snaps. After taking over as a starter, he allowed only 9 pressures in 10 games, earning a 72.5 pass-blocking grade. https://x.com/keepblitzin/status/2031515280459895071?s=46

Free agent OT Stone Forsythe plans to sign with the Carolina Panthers, per sources. Five-year vet was drafted by Seattle and last with Las Vegas. https://x.com/jfowlerespn/status/2031515042684821891?s=46

Still wouldn’t rule out the #Panthers using a draft pick on a center but this is a very solid pickup. Fortner’s pass block grade of 72.5 in 2025 ranked 7th of all qualifying centers in the league. https://x.com/gabemcdonald_/status/2031510281243775198?s=46
