Meh. Some guys are three-down backs. Hell, that's really how it always used to be. CMC was a special back (when he was on the field). Ironically his body has afforded others plenty of playing time, no matter how "selfish"of can he was/is.

Sheeeit, Jimmy needs to gain 20 pounds.

Well, I do remember Renfrow saying in so many words that it was the Panthers or bust.

It makes too much sense to bring Renfrow back, and that's why we'll do it. It makes too much sense to bring Renfrow back, and that's why we won't do it. We're going to see what kind of GM and HC that we really have.

What about Eku Leota?

I mean, he's a free agent, if we want him and he wants to return, it's a done deal. He has the choice of date with any actual suitors.

I actually think that it's a good thing. Bryce has to develop. A QB worth his salt isn't going to be reliant upon a senior citizen (in football years). Actually, it should make the entire receiving corps better. We'll certainly get to see what's what this year without an old security blanket.

Bryce fanboys? Really? Do they actually exist? Was it ever really a thing?

He's gone. You should be happy.

Yeah, we've sucked for so long that some Panthers fans forgot what top-shelf talent looks like.

I was just getting ready to say the exact same thing.

The Panthers FO certainly doesn't believe in the KISS mantra. It certainly doesn't make me feel all fuzzy towards Morgan and Canales. Makes me think of Rhule and Fitterer to be honest.

You weren't the only one. We kept an inferior receiver, but Renfrow did have health issues (I did qualify that his stay was based on health). I still can't believe we kept an inferior receiver. Oh boy...

Guma math a thèid le do shlàinte, Scot.

Finally, a Huddler with some vision.

"Pitts hasn't matched the heights of his rookie campaign, but has shown flashes here and there that his talent remains." "After injuries and inconsistency slowed his development in recent years. The Falcons are playing it by the ear and could explore a trade that sends Pitts to the Carolina Panthers, giving the team a fresh start and a chance to play with a franchise quarterback in Bryce Young and rejuvenate his young career." "Carolina bringing Pitts on board will add to the collection of talent that is at [disposal] for the offense." https://www.newsweek.com/sports/nfl/nfl-trade-predictions-rumors-atlanta-falcons-kyle-pitts-carolina-panthers-2118278

I have to admit that I have never heard of Enzo Flojo, but I kind of like this Clutch Points' writer's name. It flows. When I saw his trade hypothetical, I thought about it, and I kind of like it as well. But would our FO actually do it, in light of their draft last year? And would the Falcons do it, considering that the Panthers are a division rival, and are they ready to admit a sunk cost? "Kyle Pitts hasn’t lived up to his draft billing yet, but his potential is too tantalizing to ignore. For the cost of a Day 3 pick, the Panthers could secure a tight end who gives Bryce Young the safety net he desperately needs. With McMillan, Legette, and Thielen stretching defenses on the outside, Pitts could thrive in a featured role in Carolina’s offense." That's an interesting proposition. I expect to hear the arguments about giving Sanders' time and our much-needed draft capital. Sanders may surprise, yeah, but he had an opportunity to take the position by the horns last year and wrestle it away from Tremble. And, of course we have Mitchell Evans who will likely be a good all-around backup, but neither guy has the upside of Pitts. And for a day three pick---if we could actually unlock Pitts' true potential as the glorified WR that he is, then he'd make a compelling number three option and safety valve that may play well with Bryce Young's game. https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/carolina-panthers/last-minute-trade-panthers-must-make-week-1-2025-nfl-season

Well damn. In light of the Thielen rumor, I was trying to see whether John Metchie would be cut, but he was traded to the Eagles almost a week ago.

I agree. It seems to me that the roster is improving.

Sounds about right. I'm really not enthused by Nick Scott or Shemar Bartholomew. I didn't realize Jarrett Kingston had made such an impact. That LB group is the best we can do for now. It's one big question mark that could surprise or flop. That might be the biggest position of need in the 2026 draft. I'm betting that or TE.

Give me a third, and I might think about paying a little of his salary. A fourth? Nah. They're the ones trying to get to the dance.

Well, they don't have to pay it. But to ask us to pay part of his relatively paltry salary, especially in light of his relatively recent solid play, is an insult.

They want us to pay part of his salary. Fùck 'em. They want him, they pay!

Well, we don't care either. If the Vikings want him this year, they're gonna have to pay.
