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.

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

Hawk tua and penisx… interesting move atl

Mike Evans expected to sign to 49ers IR... i mean roster

Don't worry guys, I just downed 12 taco bell tacos and im currently practicing snapping the ball to my nephew in the backyard. Ill be ready for week 1. Happy for Cade. Curious to see how we attack C.

Sources: Jaelan Phillips has agreed to a 4 year, 120M deal with the Carolina Panthers with $80M in guarantees.

It makes sense. They didn't hire a new coach for a rebuild. They need to prove they made the right choice.

Maybe NE and TEN?

1. I don't think we are worried about facing Dalton twice a year. 2. We would trade him to anyone willing 3. Why TF would anyone trade for him. Most Likely: He will be released

This only happens IF free agency goes our way. Even then, im not so sure. Without seeing our additions in FA, I am fully expecting S, LB, OT, IOL, or EDGE (not in any order) positions targeted with our first and second round picks. I think OT is the most realistic 1st round pick unless there is a run early and we don't get offers favorable enough to trade back. I think LB can be upgraded in FA, but we could miss out on some of the big names. I think targeting an EDGE early depends on what they think of Scourton and Princely. Not in the sense of whether or not they will upgrade the position, but in the sense of if they would rather upgrade with a vet or youth. At the end of the day, we also thought last year there was no way they go WR in the first with as many holes as they have. So I can't 100% say they won't take a TE at 19.

More From the article... Something an NFL head coach said to me, unsolicited: "Watch for Tua [Tagovailoa] in Atlanta." If the Panthers lose running back Rico Dowdle in free agency, I don't think they'll rush to find an external replacement. They have Chuba Hubbard under contract, they like second-year back Trevor Etienne's promise and they're optimistic on 2024 second-round pick Jonathon Brooks, who has played only three games in his career because of injuries. I'm told Brooks is making good progress in his rehab and was up over 21 mph on the treadmill in a recent workout. Carolina is at least hopeful that Brooks can contribute this season, though obviously, his health history will always make that a question. Wide receiver Jalen Coker could receive a contract extension in Carolina. Panthers center Cade Mays: Some teams anticipate he could make $8 million per year on a new deal. Fowler: Mike Evans will limit his choices to a handful of teams in part because of his criteria. He wants a quarterback he believes in, a chance at a Super Bowl, a top-shelf offensive coordinator and the promise of high-volume touches. Only so many teams fit that mold. The Buccaneers will aggressively pursue re-signing Evans and met with his agent, Deryk Gilmore, on Thursday. Teams I expect to see gauge the free agent RB market include the Chiefs, Texans and Giants, among others. Carolina's Rico Dowdle and Atlanta's Tyler Allgeier are both free agents their respective teams would consider bringing back at the right contractual price, but I expect both to get a chance to hit free agency and see if they can get starter-level money elsewhere. Graziano: The Falcons will release Kirk Cousins before the start of the league year, when his $67.9 million salary would become fully guaranteed under the terms of his reworked contract. Atlanta has to pay Cousins a $10 million roster bonus this year, whether he's on the team or not, but it does not appear to be interested in bringing back Cousins. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/48045815/2026-nfl-combine-latest-buzz-news-rumors-free-agency-draft-qbs-trades-offseason
