Its kinda not panthers related but its the offseason? Now the Rams had the 23rd pick , we pick 24th, but now the Patriots have the 23rd pick and the 31st pick. I think it is related to us, because its likely the Patriots may draft someone else that the Rams might not have drafted at the slot right before ours and could greatly affect who we pick. 

 

What do you think about that trade? The Rams are continuing to go for broke signing all these free agents, are they trying to emulate the Eagles? They signed Marcus Peters, Aqub Talib,  N.Suh , and now Brandon Cooks. But I guess they did lose Sammy Watkins.

What a bad, short-sighted trade.  I guess if they win a Super Bowl it won't matter, but that is a lot of egos in 1 locker-room.  Especially since they weren't on the team last year.  Plus, Cooks is on the last year of his deal and considering he will be the top 2019 FA WR (Beckham ain't hitting the market), there is no way they will be able to re-sign him.

Rams have a lot of egos on their team. Curious to see if they make it deep in the playoffs or crash and burn.

Good trade for the Pats. I think Cooks is a good receiver, but getting a 1st and a 6th for him is good. I think the Pats go LT with that 1st round pick.

And Jared Goff and Sean McVay dont seem to have a super commanding personality to manage all these alpha dogs .. they'll have to hope they are well behaved I suppose

Have a feeling Pats will trade both of their 1st round picks for Odell

CBS' Jason La Canfora reports the Patriots' trade of Brandin Cooks to the Rams is "not a precursor to an attempt" to acquire Odell Beckham.

The Patriots now own the No. 23 and 31 picks, leading many to connect the dots on Twitter. The Patriots still have a solid stable of weapons, but many injury question marks. Beckham would be a dream addition for Tom Brady and Bill Belichick's offense, but the most likely outcome remains him staying in New York.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.
