As of today, teams may officially apply the franchise or transition tag to players.

Don't really expect to see the Panthers use either one, but it will be interesting to see what other teams do. Some free agents which could be of potential interest to the Panthers may wind up being tagged.

He'll get extended

Tricky, though.

I'm not a real big fan of how much money he's making right now, and still won't be if we extend him with a similar salary. But on the flipside, if we offer him less and he doesn't take it, then yeah, couldda had Butker on a rookie contract.

Granted, it's possible he could accept a lower contract, but he had a good year and frankly how often does that happen anyway?

Weve already made our bed with him. We need to pay him. If we let him walk after letting go of butker how in the hell does any of that make any sense?

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion in Here)

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Totally.  They had a guy starred on their boards that made it in trade worthy range. The risk was totally worth it.  Our case was the classic of a franchise not having a QB, do what you can to get one.  That often results being thrust into a bad situation, putting crazy pressure on 1 guy, and it becomes even worse when he's not that great.  But if we find ourselves just a few spots behind a guy we really like, I don't see a problem.   We just have to see how the season shakes out and enjoy this roller coaster.  It's not pretty at times but we somehow are 5-4 haha. If Bryce turns a page and cranks out some truly QB driven wins, then maybe we do consider just rolling with him and a Dalton replacement in 2026.  Someone like a Jarrett Stidham/Tanner McKee.   However, if he stays mostly the same (whether we fall apart or he struggles on/off but we still win some), I think you have to leave to door open for a QB in the draft.  Scout and meet with the top ones, see if any really fit what D&D want.  Maybe that guy could be Mateer.  Who knows

      Young QBs lead their teams to undefeated October

      I lived in that area for a minute, and 2 decades of BB and Brady made them delusional.  They think everyone is the 2nd coming of Brady and they're just on a short coffee break til the next dynasty.

      By CRA · Posted

      Bryce Young hasn't cleared 200 passing yards in a single game in that window.  Meanwhile, Rico Dowdle has put together the greatest 5 game stretch of rushing production in Panthers history.   And RBs have sort of been our thing, so there is ample competition.  This team hasn't been lead by Bryce Young in that stretch. Those wins are simplistically 3 things.  Schedule, Rico, and defense.
