Is this Moose's final season?

I doubt it, honestly. They resigned Kasay and Delhomme and they're both old Panther mainstays. Moose isn't slowing down yet...he's still a reliable number 2 and an important component of our running game. Unless he decides to retire, I think he'll sign on for another 2 years or so.

he's still in great shape and is probably the best blocking WR in the game unless hines ward is still in the leauge.

He still can school DB's just fine. And with his long stride he still has some wheels(KC anybody?).

I can see him resigning here for a vet minimum or slightly higher, this stud's not ready to be put out to pasture.

Vet minimum? You pay a man what he's worth, and Moose is worth more than the vet minimum.

I'm reminded of Mike Sellers, another old guy and Pro Bowl FB for the Redskins. The skins tried to pay him the vet minumum, which is what he has been paid throughout his career (during which Sellars has been consistently been recognized as on of the premier run-blockers in the league). That was the last straw for Sellars, and he rightly held out for more (unheard of for a FB to hold out). To paraphrase a quote of his, Sellers said something like, "I'm not playing like I'm worth the vet minimum."

And at this point in his career, Moose isn't playing like he's only worth the vet minimum.

I hope he will be around a few more years, but these things are hard to predict. we could have injuries play a role in this, we could have a different coaching staff come in( i dont want that). It is also possible moose could loose a step too much and we wont want him(see marvin harrison). I feel like he has 2 more years for some reason but that is a hunch, i just can see him doing good and they sign him to a 2 year deal and then he is around for one and the gone.

      Most hated teams

      After Bountygate and the information that came out on the Saints owners shielding pedophile priests in New Orleans it will forever be the Saints numero uno for me. FUG THE SAINTS! I hope this is just the beginning of a long term period of suffering for that shitty organization run by even shittier human beings. #2.Pats/Belicheat #3. Falcons (Mike Vick years then Matt Ryan/Julio running it up) Ryan pooping his pants and 28-3 def makes my bad days always better just thinking of those. #4 Pretty much any franchise fan base thats obnoxious Steelers, Eagles, Bills, Jets, Giants, Cowboys, etc.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      Thank God DM used that #8 pick on a bona fide WR1 and not some bum pass rushing prospect like Stewart or someone else. I believe Tet is legit WR1 material and going forward will be our long term answer at that position since we desperately were in need of one once they traded away DJ Moore.  Tet could possibly end up even being better long term than someone who I respect a ton as a WR in Moore. Evans has been a pleasant surprise and great TE/FB depth piece going forward who could make the most of his opportunities.  Any good offense worth a damn in the NFL has 3 TEs that can do multiple things and being scared by Ian Thomas play for years should makes us all appreciate what Evans is quietly doing as a ROOKIE at one of the hardest positions to learn at the pro level.  Keep cooking DM. This season is not over obviously but seeing some growth out of young talent finally is a breathe of fresh fuggin air for once.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
