Tomorrow is the first round of cuts

Tomorrow is the first round of cuts. Saturday is the second. If you're a team holding on to a promising young DT and want to get anything at all for him (like a late round pick, a la the Chris Harris trade), this is the week it will happen. Harris, if you remember, was caught in a numbers game in Chicago and probably would have been among the last cuts. Instead, the Bears got a fifth round pick and the Panthers have their starting safety.

If you want a young player with skill, this is the only way the Panthers will get him, given their position on the waiver wire.

Anyone want to take a flyer on who the Panthers may get, if they get anyone at all, and what they'll give up for him?

Corey Williams- conditional draft pick, depending on how he plays and the number of games.

If he makes 12-16 starts it would warrent a 3rd round pick.

If he makes 8-11 starts it would warrent a 4th round pick.

If he makes 0-7 starts it would warrent a 5th round pick.

But I may be living in fantasy land.

You really think they'll go as high as a third round pick?

I think they might have too. Do you really want Nick Hayden starting 16 games?

:confused:

I think this would be a good deal for us. Cause we get to "pay for what we get". Plus it might would help soften the possible loss of Peppers.

I lkie this philosphy a lot. IMO the FO needs to be agressive albeit prudent in trying to fill the void in the DL. Sends a message to the team and hopefully provides a spark for a defense that really needs it. Even if it is not Williams we ultimately go after we need to do something to move the needle.

That is exactly how I would do it except I would tie the production in to tackles, sacks and starting games. That way we aren't out much if he underperforms but if he is very good the team we trade with gets quite a bit and should. That way they are more willing to do the trade.

If they want a player from us I know a 2nd round receiver that I would give away for a good DT at this point.

I don't see the problem with spending a 3rd round pick on a DT at this point.

Obviously, it's more than Hurney would want to give up, but you've got to realize that Kemo is likely done, and we should be looking for someone who is more than a Nick Hayden DT that can help out this year, as well as beyond.

On an unrelated note, I predict Larry Beavers will be released. :lol:

Edit: panthers55, Dwayne Jarrett has zero trade value. Someone who hasn't shown any glimpses of playing capacity at an NFL level that is likely to be released soon isn't appealing to most teams.

I wouldnt say he has zero trade value, he is atleast worth a 6th round pick on talent alone.

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By frankw · Posted

      I like what Freeling brings to the table all around. If he is willing to put in the work he has an opportunity to be one of the better Tackles in the league down the line. Hunter Brazzell and Hecht are all premium additions but development from our staff are the key to unlocking them. Hopefully Lee and Wheatley will provide much needed additional depth to our secondary. Beyond that it's important not to get too caught up in draft grades. Many drafts over the years that turned out to be really good were not fawned over with praise. While some that were ended up being historical duds. Panthers fans ought to know this as well as anyone. In conclusion...

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.
