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.

      Post Draft Luke and JJ Podcast

      By GamecockSmitty4 · Posted

      Here’s a summary of the JJ and Luke podcast transcript. Opening / Bryce Young Fifth-Year Option     •    JJ: Breaking news — Panthers picked up Bryce Young’s fifth-year option at $25.9M, guaranteed, coming in 2027. Combined with his 2025 salary of ~$6M, that’s $31M over two years — called it a “no-brainer.”     •    Luke: Enthusiastic about the move. Highlighted Bryce’s improving TD/INT ratios (11/10 → 15/9 → 23/11) and the value of entering year three with Dave Canales. Noted $25M is a bargain relative to the $60M top of market. Luke’s Personal Update — Charlotte Christian Football     •    Luke: Working with Charlotte Christian school football program, which hired a new head coach. Coaches include Greg Olsen, Luke, and Greg’s dad Chris Olsen (a New Jersey State coaching Hall of Famer).     •    JJ: Jokingly quipped that Charlotte Christian’s coaching staff is “the world’s greatest” — a Fox analyst, a Hall of Famer, and the best Panthers RB ever — all coaching middle school football.     •    Luke: Praised Chris Olsen’s deep football knowledge spanning decades and his ability to connect with kids. Round 1, Pick 19 — Monroe Freeling, OT, Georgia     •    JJ: Panthers were on the clock and submitted their pick almost immediately — a sign of confidence and preparation. Freeling is 6’7”, 320 lbs, played in the SEC in a pro-style system.     •    Luke: Loved the pick. Emphasized you can never have too many quality offensive linemen. Noted Freeling’s size, athleticism, and arm length as key traits. Said the pick also reflects team’s philosophy of drafting great people, not just great players.     •    JJ: Noted reporter Darren Gantt compared Freeling favorably to Jordan Gross — bigger, heavier, and faster — as a potential franchise left tackle.     •    Luke: Pointed out that young players like Freeling still have physical development ahead of them, comparing the trajectory to Christian McCaffrey’s growth from age 20 onward. Round 2, Pick 49 — Lee Hunter, DT, Texas Tech     •    JJ: Panthers traded up from 51 to 49 (pick swap with Minnesota) to grab Hunter. Played audio from Panthers area scout Kaden McLuhan, who scouted Hunter.     •    Scout Kaden McLuhan (audio): Said Hunter’s size is immediately striking, and that everyone around him spoke glowingly about his character, energy, and love for the game.     •    Luke: Praised Hunter as a massive (6’3”, 320 lbs, ~34” arms) two-gap nose tackle who fits perfectly in the Evero defense. Compared his prospect profile to Akiem Hicks. Said having Derek Brown, Bobby Brown, Derrick Brown, Terson Wharton, and now Hunter creates varied body types that stress offensive linemen.     •    JJ: Noted Hunter ranked third among all prospects in run-stuff rate and sixth in interior pass-rush win rate — addressing a perception that he couldn’t rush the passer. Rounds 3–7 Highlights     •    Luke: Highlighted WR Brazle (3rd round, 6’4”, 437 speed, 1,000+ yards at Tennessee) as the vertical threat the offense needed. Also praised OL Sam Heck (5th round) as a technically sound player whose “short arms” caused him to fall but who has proven himself.     •    Luke: Mentioned CB Will Lee (6’1”, 33” arms) fits the Panthers’ DB prototype — big, long corners.     •    Luke: Praised S/LB hybrid Zaki Wheatley (5th round, 6’3”) as a big nickel similar to Trayvon Merek.     •    Luke: Excited about the linebacker competition between Devin Lloyd, Trevvin Wallace, and Claudin Cherless.     •    JJ: Noted Panthers had the #1 “steal/overreach” rating in the entire draft — drafting players lower than consensus big boards projected. Around the League     •    Luke: Admitted being “a little jealous” that the Miami Dolphins drafted LB Jacob Rodriguez (Luke’s favorite LB in the draft). Has personal connections to Miami’s coaching staff (Jeff Hafley, DC Shawn Dugen — a childhood teammate).     •    Luke: Also noted Miami’s selection of OT/G Kaden Proctor out of Alabama, who will likely move to guard. League Trends — Bigger Tight Ends / 12 & 13 Personnel     •    JJ: Observed the NFL saw its highest run rate in ~11 years (~52%) and a notable pivot toward big blocking tight ends in this draft.     •    Luke: Explained the cyclical nature of NFL offense/defense evolution — as defenses get smaller to match spread offenses, teams counter with bigger personnel (12/13 formations), which then forces defenses to get bigger at the nickel/“big nickel” spot. Called it an ongoing arms race.

      Nothing about the Flyers scare me. They are a mid team that just barely made the playoffs.
