I was just on the NFL.com live chat and here is what Jason La Conforna said about big name cuts,

"One player I am sniffing around on right now is Casey Hampton. Steelers could use some cap room, he may not be someoen they would extend at this point. Id think a trade is more likely, but some people I know close to the situation say they would not be stunned if a move of some sort was made."

Hampton started 13 games for the Steelers last season and while he is a little up there in years (31) he is also up there in lbs (325). I don't think he is an ideal option but a definite improvement over our current situation.

Thoughts?

Here's what he said about my question on whether the Panthers would trade for a replacement DT or wait until cuts are made:

"You can't find guys like that on the street, that's the problem. There aren't too many 330 pounders who can play. They have been scouting Green Bay closely and were very interested in Dusty Dvoracek from Chicago before he was lost for the season, again. If Casey Hamton hit the market he would be of interest for sure, I imagine, but would they want to give him a big ticket extension at age 31? They have been actively looking for sure. Better tighten up that run defense. "

what's his cap value? Panthers are slim in that department, so a significant move to free up space would have to be made.

Think he is a career 3-4 guy, but at this point I think sean gilbert would be an improvement. He would certainly help this team out. I believe moving to a 4-3 would help his life expectancy out and would be a great fit. Problem with him is he would prob want a new deal upon being traded not sure we can afford at this point.

He give any likely desinations or compensation for him?

Arguably the best NT in the game for the last 4 years? I'd say lets bring him in and give him a contract. He'd probably be an upgrade over our DL from last year. I have to disagree with you about not being ideal. I'd love to have Hampton on our DL. He is accustomed to dominating double teams up the middle as a true 3-4 NT in Pittsburgh...

He would be more than a stop-gap. He would be the best DT on the team.

I agree, but I don't know what we would do with him and Kemo next year. He did mention that there would probably have to be some long term deal. I asked about whether the Browns were shopping Correy Williams but he never answered it, should of put a different name.

What do you mean? You would put Kemo and Hampton out there at the same time. Hampton is about the size of Kris Jenkins right? And we had Kemo and Jenkins start for a while.

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      I'm not a Bryce hater and I would 100% move on.  Especially looking at how the upcoming qb draft looks on paper.  Hopefully he continues to improve but if in 3 seasons you're still chasing average season numbers then he's not going to be the guy.  You've just got to keep taking swings until you hit.  Average qbs without any elite physical traits cant get it done anymore.  So this year Hopefully he continues to develop and is above average statistically.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By panthers55 · Posted

      Meltdowns???? He was pulled by Canales because he wasn't executing the game plan after 2 games into the season so he could watch Dalton execute the offense and show Bryce the windows available in the NFL, how to push the ball down the field and how to step up and move around when blitzed. When Young came back 5 games later he clearly watched and improved. Enough he was named the future starter. He doesn't have a history of  meltdowns nor is there any reason to assume he will have one. From what I have read he is mentally strong and emotional stable. He may have bad games down the road, everyone does. But this is all a learning experience for him and so far he seems to be making progress. I can understand being hesitant on anything Panthers, but Young has surprisingly been able to gain his confidence after a disastrous start. You aren't alone in being cautious but I think he is the future. I thought he was too small and too short to succeed in the NFL. Honestly I was pleasantly surprised last year and am optimistic about the offense for the first time since Wilks and Dalton were decent.

      D. Morgan on T-Mac: “I made the decision pretty early [January]

      The Rams wanted to trade up for Williams who they ended up within the end. They even told him that when they called him to let him know he is the pick. The other teams are only an assumption. Like the Cowboys, who took a guard. The truth is the team wanted to trade down first and foremost but couldn't get an offer the were happy with. They took McMillan because they felt he was bpa at 8 plain and simple.
