I saw a couple of interesting tweets.  Just wondering who this is, and if they have any credibility at all.

 

From Panthers Source- offseason about helping Cam. We're out of cap purgatory & can spend. We like Remmers, but will sign starting tackle

 

Kids- I know ya'll 'Question' my sources... Panthers prepared to extend Luke Kuechly- 8 Yrs 75M before Cam Newton. Luke drafted yr after Cam

Extending Luke before Cam is no knock against Cam, but the media will spin it that way. Luke is an ELITE MLB in the league. Possibly #1 overall. Cam is an above average QB at this point, but he is our future and we all, Gettleman included, have all the confidence in the world in him. The thing with Cam is he's a QB and will demand a contract that is roughly 30-40 Million MORE than the highest contract an MLB will ever get. 

 

It makes sense to lock Luke up first because it could very well be the cheaper option.

Maybe Cam will sign for 8 years 115 million :thumbsu:

I think its a great idea to sign luke first to give an idea of what the cap space will look like with both of them. We have to keep this core, we can let go of a few but the stars literally have to be retained to continue the dominance in the division. If we can get luke and cam for around 150 between the two that would be great.

You may wanna wrap your head around the fact that it'll be closer to 200+ for both of them than 150

8 years $75MM would be a great signing. Luke is what maybe 23 or so?

Basically makes him a Panther forever but could be structured at maybe:

6

7

8

9

10

11

12

13

By the time he counts over ten mil. against the cap it will have gone up a bit I'd bet, and at no point is his number so big that you ever have to have the cap casualty conversation. Maybe $40 of it guaranteed?

I know that would never happen and if he got hurt (Beason) then you'd be fuged, but it's fun to explore the idea.

The best MLB in the league for an average of 9M per year for almost a decade? That's not bad. And like you pointed out, maybe a little over half is guaranteed. I am so ok with this.

      Dan had a great draft

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By 45catfan · Posted

      I just saw the funniest thing...or very disappointing, depending how you handle misery. A guy on YouTube did a 2027 'way too early' mock draft.  If I told you the simulator has the Panthers selecting in the top 10 , what would you say?  If I told you it was pick #8 and only two QBs were taken in the top 7, what would you say?  If I told you this dude had us taking a defensive player, what would you say?

      A look at the team after the draft and udfa signings...

      It is due diligence at that point. Irresponsible not to take him.  Crossing my fingers on this one, he has everything you look for except experience.
