Yeah, that was an outburst for sure. It also fired him up....and then he scored three TDs that day.

I thought it was more about injuries and underperforming based on being a top-15 selection. That DEN offense hasn't been the most well-comanded offense since he arrived. I think the entire WR unit was pretty frustrated with last year's guidance. Jeudy's route running, speed and youth is worth #39 IMO. You're not finding a talent like him in that draft slot.

Agree 100% on TMJ stepping up with this coaching staff. Brown and Jefferson will have him primed for big time....def a RZ threat for a young QB. I'm of the opinion that Shenault should be more of a Patterson/Harvin type of weapon then be depended upon for a heavy WR workload. Gadgety guy that should have been used more out of the backfield...especially with Sanders threatening back there. If we could bring in someone like Sutton and have two big-bodied targets with he and TMJ that would be outstanding. Then snag Flowers in the draft....we would be in great shape.

I'm good on all these vet WRs. All over 30, banged up and would only be part of our org for 2....maybe 3 years max. Nuk is the only one I can get onboard with, but he's going to cost a pretty penny in draft assets and $$. I'd prefer to go the Burrow route.... draft his comp - CJ Stroud and build young WRs to grow with him and around him. A guy like Jeudy or Sutton makes more sense if you want a vet. Sutton is a towering guy that is 27 with an 1100 yd season under his belt and three 700+ yd season. Jeudy is a precision route runner with 4.4 speed, and only 23 who hit 970yds-6TD last year. OBJ and Landry bring way too much drama to a young locker room that isn't competing for a deep playoff/SB run. I lowkey wouldn't mind bringing in Hardman/Chark and also signing someone like Marquez Callaway on the cheap. Put up 700yds & 6TDs in '21 and was overshadowed by Olave/Thomas last year.

Takes pressure off Mays to be "thee guy" too. I'm sure the vet presence will help Mays in TC.

I wonder if the snag with guys like Thielen and Chark are their injury history and us needing to backload their deals due to our cap in '23. It might pose a conundrum for Carolina with oft-injured talent on short deals. Hardman has also had his injuries in the past too....same with Sutton. Campbell just got a one-year deal in NY.

We needed depth to hold down the fort until Corbett is ready, so not mad about this if it's for peanuts. Def not the signing I was hoping for today, but makes sense.

It's like someone said earlier in the eval process..... A coach can risk being fired over Anthony Richardson. If you select him and he busts, you're fired. If you don't select him and he becomes the next great QB, you better hope "your guy" is a franchise QB or else.

Too much....unless we're sending back #39. I'll take #33 and maybe toss a sixth back in it to make it a bit more balanced. With 33 and 39 we can make some moves or add two talented starters. Especially if we give up #39 for Jeudy. It may not come to fruition, but these smokescreens, though they seem all over the place, can't hurt. Worst case, we pick our guy at 1.

Exactly. You keep DJ, move up to 3 and are still getting one of Stroud, Young, AR...possibly the '25 second rounder too.

One of Jeudy, Sutton, Moore, Chark, Hardman, Thielen or Nuk will be a Panther by this weekend. Something is in the works...we just don't know what.

Well, Casillas' guy posted something around this time after the meeting earlier this week from CLT airport. I know we have nobody at the airport, but if Chark were to sign, I'm guessing he would still be at Mint St. hammering out deals currently. Should hopefully hear something either way in the next couple of hours. EDIT: I'm on PST, so for the NC folks, it would be 2:31 EST.

I doubt Chark will ever be a WR1 though he has the most potential of this group given his size and speed. I think our true WR1/shiny new toy for our new QB is not going to be found during FA/trades. Potentially in the draft, but 2024 is the year to find that guy. In the mean time, I'll take a shot on a 6'4" 4.3 WR that, when healthy, can be a 70-1100-8TD guy. Still prefer Hardman over him, but will be stoked if we land either of them.

Love it. Arguably the top WR in FA too....he and Meyers were 1A and 1B. Didn't Chark and Laviska play together in JAX?

Please don't take this as me wanting to trade Chinn, but I wonder if there have been talks about us trading Chinn to DEN for one of their WRs. I think Chinn will THRIVE in Evero's D, but others might see the past two years and the current roster and wonder if he's expendable. He's also a UFA in '24, so if he balls out in Evero's scheme, could be a big payday awaiting. We'll have the money, but just trying to look at all sides.

That was the other WR that was reported prior to tampering week that we were interested in. Truthfully, he's better than Parris, over a year younger, faster and more production. If we bring in Hardman or Chark, it's a dub. Campbell made sense here and offered the allure of what could be when healthy, but I don't see that true #2 ability that Hardman and Chark demonstrate.

Great topic. I know I'm in the minority on two things - not high on Josh Downs and I think Tillman is the better NFL WR at Tennessee. I'd prefer to trade the 39 for Jeudy or Nuk, but if we are picking there, we take the BPA of WR/TE. My ideal dream scenario: Trade #1 + 4th to HOU for #2 + #33 (Stipulation that they draft Young and do not trade out of that slot so we get CJ7). Use our #39 pick in a trade for Jeudy or Hopkins Draft Flowers at 33. Stroud Sanders-Hubbard-Blackshear Jeudy-TMJ-Flowers-Shenault Hurst-Tremble-Thomas

Really feeling one of the Broncos WRs comes here via trade....maybe outside shot of Hopkins with the ties to South Carolina. Adrian Wilson can't hurt and the kinship with our newest DT too.

I'd love to pluck Elijah Moore from their roster, but CD wouldn't be a bad option either. I do think Davis goes back to GB as part of the comp package for Rodgers.

I like Ian Thomas more today than I did yesterday. Very selfless move and seems like a win-win. I would still like for us to draft a TE in R3 this year given how deep it is...I'm sure one of the big names will slip. With Hurst here, Thomas expiring next year and Tremble's upside, we have a two-year window to find our future stud TE. Either way, I think this staff will get Tremble into a top-flight TE2 and potentially low-end TE1. He was very raw coming out of ND....good thing the OC's specialty is TEs.

Trying to figure out what Nuk's contract would look like for us if traded, as well as comp going back. If AZ eats a big portion of what he's owed and the ask is a third rounder, then I'm game. That 2nd rounder needs to stay as a trade for Jeudy or for drafting a TE or WR. I think Hopkins has a good amount left in the tank. He's not a long-term answer, but could give us 2-3 more years of similar play.

Always wondered why his visit was pre-announced yesterday. Felt like a leverage move against a contender and who is more WR needy than us right now? Best of luck wherever you end up Thielen.

JuJu to the Pats for the same deal as Jakobi.
