Devin Funchess, his agents, and next year...

Salary cap will be 20mil higher by then as well.  In reality though we just have to keep drafting impact talent.  Cam has also progressed to the point where he'll get more from a WR than most other quarterbacks, that gives us some great flexibility.

Funch hasn't even played his second season and had under 500 yards last year.  He's still under contract for another 3 seasons, lets pump the brakes on this topic for at least another year maybe two.

posts like this at this point should be an auto week ban, I mean seriously? what made you think this post was a good idea?

It wasn't meant to be a super serious discussion.  Gettleman is having the VERY SAME thoughts right now.  If y'all don't want to discuss anything, then don't post.  Otherwise, leave us to our shits and giggles, which is all this is. It's all about the WHAT IF.  You HAVE to think about the what if.  Well, if you want to be successful, anyway.

If Funchess proves to be what were are expecting in his highly-anticipated sophomore season, then we have two WR1s on the roster from a money allocation POV.  

Just so we're clear on what "Two WR1s" looks like, Chicago's 2013 stats come to mind. 

Considering the fact that 1) Olsen is still on the team, and 2) Ted Ginn led the team in WR receiving yards last year...

Unless both KB and Funch have 1,100+ yard seasons this year, we don't have two WR1s.

If they do, then we cross that bridge...and bury third leg Greg....because he probably died.

Soon as I am the GM I'll worry about these things.

Gettleman is NOT having these same thoughts.  He simply doesn't have to, and with all the other things he is doing right now, i promise you, he won't be thinking about it for at least another 2 years.

KB will get the 5th year option if he continues to ball out.

Funchess has this up coming season, plus 2 more. 

There is no reason for Getts to worry himself about it at this time. So much  can, and will happen in the next 3 seasons, that we simply can't predict what will happen. 

The only thing that can be assumed, is one of them won't be paid his second contract by the Panthers.

    • Would be happy with Lomu or Iheanachor at 19. Fano is intriguing but I don't think he makes it.
    • II see it this way: We have to look at long-term needs and current depth.  We have filled some key spots with players on one-year contracts.  I firmly believe that they intend to pay Bryce some big bucks next year.  That means you cannot hope that your rookies in 2027 can fill the spots vacated by the veterans you could not afford to re-sign.   We need to consider the cap and the fact that the need to start a rookie is not viewed as a positive by coaches and general managers, but they value first contracts--so it is a delicate balance. I think they have to look at the cap by position--"Can we afford a $50m QB and a $100m OL?  That is half the cap, before you pay your WRs and RBs and TEs.  They need to start getting younger on the OL as well.   I am not suggesting that we draft OT in round 1, but we could and I would get it.  RT on a 1-year deal, they may have intel about Ickey (who was not the best LT, to be honest) and 32-year old Moton is on a bad wheel.   Now if you go by Morgan's history, you can almost tell what position we are going to address with the first pick by noting the positions he has not focused on in free agency.  DT, considering the lack of performance by those not named Derrick Brown and the loss of Robinson, is screaming to be addressed with a top player.  Wharton is not an early down DT (DE if you want to get technical) and our LBs need to be clean--they were not in 2025.  Look for a DT early. I also think we will address ILB (pass covering Will) on day 2.  The other day 2 pick will be an OT, in my view. Do not rule out CB.  We are thin there too, and Jackson is in his final year.  I am not sure that we love Smith-Wade.  Some crackhead on here talked about moving him to S----stay tuned.   Hopefully, a team wanting Ty Simpson will move up and offer us a pick or two to move back. DT WILB OT OC QB  (you heard it here 337th--but this pick could come sooner than you think.      
    • Bryce had some bad games, but he had some good ones as well (and this is coming from a Bryce skeptic). I think it's a little simplistic to put all the offensive woes on Bryce, you also should be looking at O-line play, receiver play, RB and TE play, and also coaching. There's no way when I look at the offense in it's totality am I ready to say that a so-so to bad offense was all on Bryce, and, I also can't say that we don't need to upgrade any position on offense, save Tetairoa McMillan (who also wasn't perfect) and maybe the starting guards and T-mo.
