The offseason is upon us and the time for all of you to offer up terrible opinions is ripe. Some of you have started early, I see.

One common opinion you'll see mentioned this offseason is the following:

Approximately 3500 aspiring NFL stars will be draft eligible this offseason, and the Carolina Panthers, coming off of like, the worst season, like ever, will be selecting 8th (this part is true)

Unfortunately however that is simply not high enough. Is there a player you like?

That's too bad. Because he is going to be gone before we pick. In fact, he is going to be long gone. They all are. 

All 3500 players will be long gone by the time the Panthers make the 8th overall selection, roughly an hour into draft night. 

Who knows by what mathematical tomfoolery this happens, but it simply is. Its an indisputable reality that all the players will be gone and we should probably still trade down anyways just to be safe.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.

      The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
