Man the Patriots seize every possible opportunity!! He can help replace some of the production they lost when Gronk went down!! Never would happen here!! Things like this frustrates me about the Panthers. A player with some type of trouble becoming available and we don't take a look at all! Different philosophy...but hey #KeepPounding

End rant...!!!

Belichick makes a lot of moves like this and they never work out. There's a reason they were the only team to put in a claim. And it's not that Belichick's smarter than every other team. He may be the best coach but not the best personnel man. Not even close there.

ended up doing nothing in new england. got cut pretty swiftly

Gaffney was supposedly an All-Pro caliber player for them and a million times better than CAP. Funny, the Pats made up an injury to put him on IR this year so they didn't have to cut him for some nobody who made the roster. Then released him from IR and brought him back and cut him again and he's a FA.

Well, McClain sucked before and after.  Floyd has been pretty good in his career so far and has shown potential.  Different things.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Really? You don't see why a team can't draft a QB in the 1st round while then starting their former #1 overall pick over them while on the last year of their deal? It puts the team in a TERRIBLE place no matter how the season goes.  If Bryce sucks, you have to answer questions as to why he was still on the team to begin with, let alone starting over the rookie.  If he's good, then you run into the situation the Vikings were in last offseason with sticking with the rookie contract or the the guy who just performed instead of said young QB. It's one thing when teams keep a vet around as a bridge QB, it's something entirely different when that QB is still only in their mid 20's and was taken #1 overall by that team.   That just doesn't happen and not sure it ever has in NFL history before.

      Where panthers draft ranked against Big Boards in 2023

      What is the alternative? - BY, will not play for less then his perceived contract (just like Cam Newton did). So you pay him top of market as befitting a 1st round, Heisman winning, playing birthing QB would get. Or you cut him. - Then we are forced to either sign a stop gap QB / previously failed QB and try to fix him or you spend a 1st round pick and draft a guy, basically resetting the team.  The reality is that we all want a top 5 QB. The problem is there are only 5 of those guys in the world and drafting, even #1 overall doesn't guarantee that.  The other problem is the NFL market. Young QB get paid. Even an average, young QB gets top of market deals. I know a lot of people here think we could sign him to an 'average QB contract' but thats not reality. Didnt happen with Cam wont happen with BY.  So we could let this season flush out and he is again a middling QB. But then we cut and restart or accept it is what it is (including compensation) and build a team around what we have.  My money is on the latter.

      That doesn't void his contract
