Well deserved

Dart looking so jealous

Dan tends to attack one specific position group per offseason and the sprinkle others throughout the roster. He extended Moton, signed Hunt, Lewis, Nijman one offseason and then extended Brown and signed Wharton and Hunt and drafted Jackson next offseason. My guess is he attacks LB and Edge this offseason. 1. What do you do with Icky? Likely a scratch for next season and due a massive contract (if healthy) They will bring back Nijman and Christensen and draft a guy on Day 2 is my guess and hope one of them can fill the hole. 2. Coker has the talent for 2nd WR, but do you pay a guy who gets hurt that premium? I think hes your number 3 simply due to risk. Will the Panthers seek another vet or go surprisingly high in the draft? They will probably sign him more and longer than the RFA Tender to keep him happy and not break the bank in the process. Can see them getting a Vet in FA like Tutu Atwell or Hollywood Brown. Somebody with speed but also isn’t overly expensive. I think Horn and Tremayne stick around and unfortunately Legette. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Tremble released and a real TE in brought in, there is a good FA group this year. 3. Do you give X more feature time? Or cut bait now? I wouldn’t be surprised if they traded him but I’m willing to bet he gets one more year. Maybe Canales can find a role like Shenault had with McAdoo. 4. Planning the long term/short term on OL Like I said I think Christensen and Nijman are brought back for T with a Day 2 rookie and prayer something sticks. Moton, Hunt, Lewis return ofcourse. Probably resign Corbett as a safeguard at Center but I think they go C in the 1st or 2nd. Wouldn’t be shocked to see Morgan trade to the back end of the 1st to get a solid C and add picks. 5. How do you address LB? I think Rozeboom leaves. Hoping CJ Allen or Sonny Styles is still there is too big of a risk. They probably go get Kaden Elliss or Leo Chenal and pay good money for them. Maybe a guy on Day 3 for depth with Cherelus and Martin-Scott. Also think he takes a swing at Edge, wouldn’t be shocked to see Hendrickson or Oweh here. 6. Do you bank of Chuba bouncing back? I think Chuba remains Chuba. There are some decent change of pace backs out there this year that will be cheap. Still developing Etienne and Brooks may be healthy. I think it’s Chuba and that crew maybe a veteran that’s not Dowdle. More like Deejay Dallas who was here already once. I also think Dalton calls it and they get an upgrade at back up. Nobody that would endanger Bryce’s job but somebody that isn’t 55 years old either. Trubisky, Minshew, Pickett, Kyle Allen (yes same one).

Oh boy I hope they like screens and 5 yard slants.

Way to early prediction: 9-8 better roster but harder schedule. Saints have easier schedule and win division at 10 or 11 wins. Win: VS New Orleans @ Atlanta VS Tampa @ Cleveland @ Minnesota VS Chicago VS Cincinnati VS Detroit VS Baltimore Lose: @New Orleans VS Atlanta @ Tampa @ Green Bay @ Philly @ Pittsburgh VS Seattle VS Denver It’s been a while since we beat some of these teams, so I could see us getting lucky like we did in Green Bay maybe in Pittsburgh or Philly. Chicago will be interesting, I’m not scared of Baltimore, Minnesota, Cincinnati, Cleveland, etc.

Robinson has a 12m value. Give him 10 up front as a bonus. Pay him 2 million in salary and then break up the bonus into 2.5m for the next few for void years. Basically get him for 4.5 this season to fill a spot if there isn’t a decent one in the draft, also better FA pool next year. If you get a better one in the draft you have a tremendously better Yosh Nijman to back up the Rookie and Moton this year.

Now we must try to get Cooley a DC role. Need that 3rd round pick

I think Cam Robinson will be available in free agency. Option rental at LT

Also the chance that Arizona snags Kubiak or he just decides to stay. Really, that would be the best chance for Evero because I think they are zeroed in on Kubiak

I really wish Flacco would retire and Dalton could just sit on Cincinnati’s bench behind Burrow a couple of years and remember the old times while we find a legit back up.

lol people liked him until he wore those shorts to training camp

I can’t remember a GM panthers fans actually liked

2024 draft was also going a lot off of Fitterers planning and guidance during the 2023 season. Hard to change scouting strategy in February. Dan had all of 2024 to get ready for 2025 draft which I think was much better.

Evero played for the Raiders for his 1 year as a player. He’s also a west coast guy and a lot of people from his time in Denver are there now. Plus, his Pass Defense has always been stronger than his Pass Rush and Run D. Not bad to have in a division with Sean Payton, Justin Herbert, and Pat Mahomes. My guess is Kubiak is 1st but Evero and an OC he named and they really like is 2nd. I wonder who that is, wonder if that could be Thomas Brown who is the Pass Coordinator in NE now.

I think McDermott takes the year off.
