I'm willing to bet we do

Then you don't understand that we actually don't have that much cap space. We have a lot of young players with contracts coming up and they'll be the priority.

Next year we'll have 70 mil in cap space. You have KK and Star, what other players will keep the Panthers from signing 1 top free agent OL or DB

What fans like or dislike about a draft means didly fugin poo.

Usually if the morons on here hate something it's probably super good.

 

It's the typical tards that freak out that the 1st round pick wasn't a WR or that we didn't trade up to the top of the 2nd to draft a WR. 

The panthers usually don't draft the sexy pick. We draft the smart pick. I don't get how some veteran posters can still be shocked year after year after year. The rookie posters, I get. But damn it some of the Huddle usual are actin' a fool.

We'd have just 30 players under contract. KK, Star will account for over $20M of that easily, possibly even closer to $30M. KB, Trai Turner, Bene, possibly Boston (if he starts this year and we want to keep him) have contracts coming up. Norwell's in the last year of his deal, as is Philly Brown. Oher, Remmers, Coleman, Ginn are in the last year of their deals. Kalil's contract is up after this year as well. Ealy is looking at a contract extension very soon, and it could be damn expensive if he picks up where he left off which is certainly a possibility. Will need space for next year's and this year's draft picks. That $70M will very very quickly look more like $10-20M.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
