He has a huge cap hit next season, so I doubt the Vikings can trade him. All the speculation is he's gonna be cut cut, so any chance we bring him in? 

 

He's a younger better version of Ted Ginn, I think we could compliment Kelvin really well and let Funchess keep developing while playing the slots.

I wouldn't mind splurging on a top quality WR, but Gettleman is a loyal Wal-Mart customer. He'll be looking in the value bins at some truly oddball WRs who might be on their last legs. Some guys you've just never heard of even though they've been in the league for many years.

Now where you might be excited is in the upcoming draft. Gettleman will probably be looking for another big WR to put opposite KB,  with tweener WR/TE Funchess in the slot. The triples towers. Single cover that.

This could actually be a move I see us making. Even with the success we had passing this year it's pretty obvious that we need at least 1 more legit weapon, even with KB coming back. I think Wallace would be a very interesting choice. You know he can absolutely fly, and with the different types of guys we already have, a straight burner would really help things. This might be something we need to keep an eye on....of course that all depends on how much money he is looking for. I don't see us as a player at anything over 5 million a year for someone like him....gonna be a very interesting offseason. We have a lot of cap room, and DG doesn't seem like the kinda GM to just bank that kinda money and rest on his laurels.

If Ginn weren't under contract already for this season, I would say we can explore the option.

But for all the people here who flip their lids over Ginn dropping a pass, they would be livid at how Wallace tends to behave on the field. Remember how he was with the Dolphins? Also, he is only one year younger than Ginn, so that's pretty much not really a factor at all.

      Breakout 2025 Candidates

      By Panthers Addict · Posted

      What I love and hate about this team is it’s more filled with potential breakout players than ever before. JT, XL, Coker, Smith-Wade, Ikem, Trevin… and even Bryce are all guys I could legitimately see taking the next step. But the problem with having so many of those guys is that team success somewhat relies on them taking that step, and some are bound not to. That being said, I’m cautiously optimistic given our softer schedule, the way the offense clicked late last year, and the direction we finally have at GM, coach, and QB. Could see us as a sneaky playoff team.

      Smith-Wade for me. He has the path to some decent hefty snaps in Evero’s scheme. He held his own last year and improved as he continued to get snaps— If he makes some strides, could be a very capable nickel.  I agree with Sanders. Bryce had some trust in him that final Falcons game post crazy head-stand.  Bryce looked for him a lot that final game and made some critical catches to get us the W. Seems he’s put in major work so I’m hopeful about him.  Wallace will have an offseason under his belt. I like him a lot, was higher graded than most remember in his draft (I.e Brugler had him LB3/70 overall) but he isn’t as cerebral of an LB as we’re used to. I think he could thrive if we get D captain/film-junky type next to him— because right now that’s Jewell.  Still a bit cautious but love the talent. Rozeboom may snag some playing time from him if he’s still working out the kinks.
