I didn't see anything posted about this anywhere.

"Haynesworth, 27, would likely draw great interest in the free-agent market. The 6-foot-6, 320-pound defensive tackle has 91 tackles and 14.5 sacks in the past two years. In seven NFL seasons, all in Tennessee, he has 271 career tackles -- 199 of them solo -- and 24 sacks."

I wonder if Peppers does not re-sign, should we go after him?

Peppers isn't leaving.

We can't afford Haynesworth.

I know noone wants Peppers to leave but there is chance that Pep might not want to stay in Carolina. If that happens, then you could pay Haynesworth what you were going to pay Pep. But I'm not sure I would want him, seems to have a lot of injuries towards the end of each season plus the whole stomping on a players neck thing.

Well, he had that issue, but we have dealt with Smith's issue as well. However, I do believe that was because he has been in the organization for so long.

Exactly, don't be surprised to see Bridges gone after this season also.

The FO does not like to deal with higher risk players. Smitty will always be the exception...not the norm.

haynesworth is likely to drop off the radar once he gets his giant contract somewhere. he's only been playing hard the past two years to get a big contract.

dude is a headcase of monumental proportions. if you think jenks was bad you haven't seen anything.

no way do i want that clown around here.

his "finest" moment and the main reason he won't be here:

i hate the cowboys as much as anyone but doing that to anyone is uncalled for.

      I liked him when he was at Michigan because I'm a Wolverine homer. After that...

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.
