I may be in the minority here but I feel like we should let the CJ contract play out. I don't know how confident I am in how many years he has left at a high level. We seem to be in fine cap position this year for what we plan to bring in and we seem to be in a good cap position for next year. So I do not really see the need to move on in his contract right now.

Sometimes it is best to just take your lumps rather than kick the can down the road.

You extend him so you lock him up for the rest of his career. He is still on this side of 30 and has shown to be durable and productive. You don't restructure and you don't sit pat when we need him for his ability and his,leadership. If you give him a 3 year extension you end up reducing his cap hit for this year and next and as long as the guarantee money is largely his salary for this year and next with a manageable signing bonus it is a win- win for both sides. With that said I have no idea what kind of money he is looking for as this point.

I disagree with this, let the contract play out instead of kicking the can down the road.  

 

I see both sides of the argument, but I disagree with 20M this year and 15M next, and then he's a FA in '17.  He's proven that he should remain a Panther, and a 2 or 3 year extension assures him of that.  Reduce his salary this year and next, and stretch it into a signing bonus that can be spread out over the next few years.  If we could free up 6-8M this year with CJ, our cap number looks solid.

 

CJ can be a rotational DE by the end of his contract.

      Frank Reich, Ryan Poles get honest about challenges of developing No. 1 pick QB.  *Reich: My handling of offensive system "probably made it more difficult for Bryce (Young)" *Poles: From 24-25. tone changed from bridging Caleb Williams to 'tough love'   https://x.com/jfowlerespn/status/1957857880276705508?s=46

      As bad as AR has been, the Panthers would’ve been better off right now, if they had stayed at #9 in 2023 and picked him instead of doing what they did.  At least this way, they would’ve only wasted one draft pick vs what they gave up to pick BY. And they would have kept the #1 pick in the 2024 draft.

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      I felt pretty good about us making progress this season, surprising some people, and getting some more wins than last season going into it.  Now, after preseason, my expectations are much, much lower. I was talking with my friend who is a Bears fan, and we were discussing their drubbing of the Bills and how people try to dismiss it as “preseason, so it doesn’t count.”  It absolutely counts.  Not the wins or losses.  No one really cares about that.  But what the Bears are doing shows that even in a vanilla, non-specific scheme, they are executing at an elite level and they are disciplined.  It shows they are well coached.  They see growth in their players.  Versus us - hard to tell what we’re looking at because everything is a fuging mess.  In games we’re still undisciplined, be it penalties or assignments.  We do NOT execute.  We got random coaches calling plays that won’t be calling plays during the season, we have our players getting into fights in the last padded practice of the preseason, then we have Bryce and Chuba trying to correct it while our coach sat off to the side laughing.  To be clear, I like Canales.  He seems like a good dude.  But, it feels like we have very little direction and discipline.  You’re allowing a team who has been historically bad the last almost decade, with a losing culture that mostly bereft of talent to self-police?  You’re allowing subordinates to work in pet projects at the expense of getting valuable reps and evaluation of players in during games?     My friend literally brought up last night that when Ben Johnson got there he essentially put DJ Moore in notice because it was starting to be perceived that he was displaying some diva-behavior.  That’s leadership.  And they’re reaping the benefits early and setting a tone.  My friend said there is an excitement and confidence in and around their team that’s he’s never felt his entire life.  And here we are, sounding and looking like The Bad News Bears in our final week of training camp and preseason.  I literally stopped watching after halftime last week.  I used to watch every play faithfully, even in 2001 and 2010.  It was fun.  This isn’t.  We are bad and our administration keeps making bad decisions to compound things.  Reading poo like this today is just fuging deflating.
