1. Byrd's value is as high as it's ever been, and probably ever going to be, with the Panthers

2. The Panthers don't need Byrd and Curtis Samuel

3. Carolina is suddenly stacked with receivers and returners

The Panthers obviously shouldn't give a player of Byrd's talents away for nothing.

Nobody is going to give Carolina a draft pick for Byrd.

Just like nobody is going to give Carolina a draft pick for CAP, no matter how much I want the kid to be freed from Ron Rivera Purgatory and Permanent Penal Punishment and given an actual and sincere opportunity elsewhere.

I like Byrd as much as the next guy, but . . .

His only chance to be on a roster this season - any roster - is to absolutely GO OFF in preseason.  His career has been basically nothing so far.  Yes, he's had injuries, and that's a really rough break for him, but the NFL doesn't have much tolerance for borderline talents with injury problems.

If he can show the league - and the Panthers - that he's a true NFL caliber WR this offseason he has a chance to make a roster somewhere.  But it's all on him.  Right now, he's in grave danger of being cut and not even given a look elsewhere.

Lol that would be dumb.

Who we should trade is Daryl Williams with his value at sky-high alongside his high probability of regression next year. While all of you want to say “but but all-pro!”, his performance last year truly is overrated by many. He’s had a lot of help.

 

For what it’s worth, he wasn’t as bad as the season progressed near the end (minus his terrible performance in the playoffs tbh), but still nowhere near his all-pro status, let alone being a franchise tackle.

 

 

Completely agree.  He's overrated at the moment based on his significantly aided performance for one season.  That's not to say he won't continue to progress, but many are way too excited about him.

If anything, the added depth at WR gives him less trade value l. He's really gonna have to show off for a roster spot. If any team wants him that badly, they can just wait for him to be cut.

And if he shows out I really see us keeping him with being thin at TE.

    • After listening to Morgan's presser twice, I came away with some key beliefs. First of all, I don't think he's a bullshitter. What you see is what you get. When he says something, he means it.  The Teppers really have evolved as owners. Morgan has mentioned how they're easy to work with--a pleasure to work with a few times now. There seems to be a good relationship between all of them (and include Dave Canales on that). We'll see if it lasts. Yes, no one wanted to come to Carolina with the previous management, but that seems to have changed. The team signed arguably the top Edge, LB and OT on the market, two of them on pretty good deals and one on what I'll say is "not a bad one." And, credit Sunshine Dave "Flowers and Cotton Candy" Canales for helping to change the culture. Morgan mentioned getting guys--and I'm paraphrasing--that are not only great football players but great people. Don't look for us to be acquiring any James Pearce types anytime soon, just saying. We'll see if that holds true in the future. Dan Morgan really has set up the Panthers to take the BPA/BAP. He mentioned it at least a couple of times, and he doesn't seem pressured to pinpoint a particular position. He just wants quality players that will help the team. This is how it's going to be (to your joy or dismay, probably for as long as he's here), and personally I love it. Many of us know how Morgan was when he played: aggressive! That's what he's going to be when making acquisitions. He explicitly said it, and emphasized it. All avenues are open (think FA, waivers...the draft)! Personally, as long as it's controlled aggression and not reckless aggression, I love it.  On KP: "Mobility is big in this league."  He basically says if another QB is the BPA while drafting--we're going by our board, people--we're going to add them.        ...  
    • Canes are so fascinating. Despite inconsistent defense and poor goalie play they keep winning. 
    • I like Morgan's approach but I'll wait for a few winning seasons before giving too much praise.
