People use Vegas to represent their opinion when it's convenient, similar to how people cherry pick statistics. This is just the lines correcting themselves in favor of Levis' increased popularity and Stroud falling. The Reddit article is likely BS but may have accelerated it, it was going to happen anyways.

This is just the "draft market" correcting itself to make Levis the #2 QB. I have heard since February and even mentioned on here that they like Levis. However, he is not their #1 QB. The only way I see Carolina taking Levis is if they make some deal to trade out of the number 1 slot-which could happen if there is a tempting offer. OR something very damaging is released about Young- which I highly doubt.

I think there’s debate over which will be the alternate.

You are.. kinda.

I wouldn't believe much on the Young hype, everything I have heard indicates CJ Stroud (even before FA). Stroud checks too many boxes for the Panthers and people are looking too far into it when the answer is right in front of them.

I would if I could, but I was only told that they did not really want to change the uniform drastically, only "update" it to make it appear more modern. A few years back they took the logo off the pants and changed the shoulder numbers, I imagine it will be more than that.

There is something in the works that will be released soon. I have been told it’s more of a “modernizing” update with the same uniforms than a complete overhaul. The summer after Rhule was hired there was a plan to make the blue jerseys the primary home jersey with white pants and switch to white helmets that would also match the white away jerseys. The black would become an alternate that was worn up to twice per season per league rules. This idea got pigeon-holed. I don’t think this is the direction they are going, especially with the release of the black helmets last year, but who knows.

There are about 5-7 people in that building that see the actual draft board (which is electronic). It’s probably the most guarded thing in that building right now, anyone who says they know, is making an educated prediction. I can tell you from what I have seen there is much more hype around CJ Stroud from the staff.

Panthers have reached out to representatives of Zach Allen to gauge interest. Adrian Wilson connection.

Panthers are expected to kick the tires on Jakobi Meyers (no rhyme intended). Will depend on his interest and willingness to structure his contract to suit them.

To be clear this is where it started, I couldn’t tell you where it is at now. I have a hard time believing that Carolina can go higher than their initial number of around 8 million/yr but who knows? I personally believed they would try to get a team friendly first year and then pay out the remaining years higher, and they still may but I haven’t heard that. It really boils down to how much the Bozemans’ want to remain in Charlotte.

They are still working on a deal but were very far apart in the beginning. Panthers chose not to franchise tag him because they do not believe his market value is what his representatives are claiming (Appx. 16 million/yr) which was right at the value of the franchise tag. Panthers feel he is more in the 8-9 million/yr range. It is a good possibility that they keep Elflein-which is why he has not been released yet.

Chicago wanted Moore. Burns is completely in play.

Conversation with Carr today is supposed to be centered around money with his agent present. If the conversation goes well, he will visit in person and will likely leave with a contract. This will be the fourth conversation he has had with the Panthers. He visited in person at the combine, and had two other phone conversations prior to the combine. If conversation does not lead to further interest from either side, the Panthers will be searching for a dance partner in the Top 5.
