He only played SS his last year. FS every other year and that includes the year he made the pro bowl. Regardless he's better than Colin Jones. He may have lost his job but that was with actual safety's not a ST guy pretending to be a safety

So that’s two years removed from the position you want him to play. One year from any football activity of any kind. A benching. Concussion issues. 

  How much are you willing to risk to find out if he even wants to play again? That’s the issue. He could get hit and quit at any time.

Hey Torrey, shut the fug up and catch a freakin pass more consistently! If you could hold on to a damn pass as well as you hold you phone to Tweet maybe the passing game would be more consistent and we'd actually have a deep threat, which was the main reason you were brought here. 

Damn! This is a proper rag dolling if I’ve ever seen one. Torrey Smith and his cell phone just got put on notice!

PS for anyone mentioning Earl Thomas... lol Where you gonna get an excess $6 mil in cap space on top of the sub $4 mil we already have to trade for him? His hit is + $10 mil.

just stop...

 Well, that’s his cap hit for SEA. His base salary is 8.5M. Minus 3 game checks, that leaves around 7M. With about 3.7M already there, it’s not hard to call Cam and get that little bit.

Tepper saw him for a few years in Pittsburgh

Now think again on what you just wrote.  

I'll help...

1. Tepper saw Mitchell for a few years in Pittsburgh, and

2. Tepper's new team needs safety help but haven't even glanced in Mitchell's direction, ergo...

3. ???

That or Tepper is still sticking to his 'not going to meddle' mode.

I just don't get how Mitchell isn't the option right now, Tepper saw him for a few years in Pittsburgh, he is staying in shape during the season, and has been here before and comes with no baggage.  Just makes too much sense.

Hard pass on Mitchell and his dumbass 15 yard penalties

Think about it for a second.

Look how defiant we are in regards to actively seeking out a safety.

Now, you're advocating us trading for one that will demand around $8-12 million a year over the span of a career?

Not happening.

The most we'll see is trading for a younger guy still in his rookie contract with a few years left on it and the ability to start.

...and I don't think that will even happen in this regime.

On top of, as you have repeatedly pointed out, his concussion history.

Reid's concussion history makes Luke's look like Pop Warner stuff.

People forget just how great a player Dan Morgan really was. The NFL didn't do "Top 100 Players" back then but if they had, Morgan would have consistently ranked high in it.

And yet when the Panthers finally let him go, most teams kept their distance. 

Why?

Concussions.

Remember too that this was well before the league had an image problem thanks to CTE and all of that. Nobody wants to be the team who signed the guy that was one concussion away from scrambled brains only to see him take that last unfortunate shot.

For whatever people might think of Reid, his political stances and the NFL's attitude toward him, this is a valid concern. And according to Voth, it's one that the Panthers are conscious of.

This is not something you can just dismiss like it doesn't matter.

      Draft picks are better for cap management and production always outperforms athleticism over time.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Crixtala · Posted

      all the trades and using PFFs draft rankings and Gemini's analysis: This is a high-value mock draft that effectively uses trade-down strategies to rebuild the Carolina Panthers' defensive interior and add depth to a roster with multiple holes. By turning mid-round capital into a volume of picks, you've secured several "sliding" stars and developmental high-ceiling players. Based on 2026 PFF big board trends and player value, here is the analysis: Draft Grade: A- The Top Picks: Interior Dominance  * 19. Peter Woods (DT, Clemson): Getting Woods at 19 is a steal. Heading into the 2025 season, he was viewed as a potential top-5 talent. While his production dipped slightly, his 4.75 40-yard dash at 315 lbs is elite. He provides the Panthers with a versatile disruptor who can play 3-tech or slide outside.  * 63. Dontay Corleone (DT, Cincinnati): "The Godfather" is one of the best pure nose tackles in the class. Pairing him with Woods creates an immediate identity for the Panthers' front seven. PFF loves his "unmovable" anchor. Securing him at the end of Round 2 after trading down from 51/53 is excellent value. The Mid-Round Steals  * 83. Deontae Lawson (LB, Alabama): Lawson is a high-IQ "green dot" linebacker. Many scouts projected him as a late 1st or early 2nd rounder before an ACL injury in late 2024. Getting a 2-time Alabama captain at 83 to lead the defense is a massive win for culture and stability.  * 130. Drew Allar (QB, Penn State): This is the "high-upside lottery ticket" pick. Allar has prototypical size (6'5", 240 lbs) and a massive arm. His stock fell due to a 2025 ankle injury and inconsistency, but at 130, he’s a low-risk, high-reward backup/successor to Bryce Young if the former No. 1 pick continues to struggle. Trade Analysis & Late Round Value Your strategy of "tier-dropping" (trading 51 for 53/121 and 53 for 63/95) allowed you to stay in the same talent bracket while picking up Kevin Coleman Jr. (WR) and Genesis Smith (S).  * 168. Parker Brailsford (OC, Alabama): Great value for a technical center who can compete for a depth spot.  * 169. Tacario Davis (CB, Washington): At 6'4", he is a rare physical specimen at corner. PFF and other boards often have him as a Day 2 talent; getting him in the 5th round (via the 161 trade) is arguably your best value pick of the draft. Summary of Picks | Pick | Player | Position | School | Analysis | | 19 | Peter Woods | DT | Clemson | Elite traits; Top-10 ceiling. | | 63 | Dontay Corleone | DT | Cincinnati | Best run stuffer in the class. | | 83 | Deontae Lawson | LB | Alabama | Vocal leader; sliding due to injury. | | 121 | Kevin Coleman Jr. | WR | Missouri | Speed threat to complement the room. | | 130 | Drew Allar | QB | Penn State | High-ceiling developmental passer. | | 169 | Tacario Davis | CB | Washington | Massive reach/length for a late flyer. | Final Verdict You addressed the trenches aggressively and took advantage of "injury discounts" on Lawson and Allar. The only minor critique is that the roster still feels thin at Edge (until the 211 pick), but the sheer volume of talent added to the interior DL and Secondary compensates for it.
