What makes you think he wanted to come here? West coast guy going back to the west coast and gets to play for a contender at the tail end of his career..

He was never coming to Charlotte.

His former DC coaches the team.

He and Rivera are said to have a pretty good relationship.

Weddle is good but wont be as good as Joyner. Now, maybe Hurndog pulls a rabbit out the hat and land Joyner. 

Ehhh Joyner came back down to earth this past season from his incredible 2017 campaign. So he'll definitely want a contract close or more than the tagged he played on last season

Weddle would have been nice but I think Gipson is who we need. He’s young, will be cheaper than the likes of Joyner, Thomas and Matheui and is at least average. Which is light years ahead of what we’ve seen on the field recently. Bonus, he won’t cost us a comp pick.

Forgot to add; Bethea is such a Panthers signing. A high moral veteran that does what is asked from him. I can see the Panthers being interested.

“Couldn’t make the numbers work” (if we’re suddenly treating Joe Person’s reporting as credible) sounds more like Weddle wanted more than we were willing to pay him...not that he wanted more than we were ABLE to pay him. We have what, $16 something million in cap space? And you guys think that’s not enough to have signed him to a 2 year $13 million contract? Lol, okay...math iz hard.

So cheaper than Reid. 

Different positions.

Difference in age as well.

Anyway, hopefully we're not getting scorched back there like the past years but, I worry we will.     I mean, we're paying Torrey Smith only a little bit less lol.

    • Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.  
    • Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.
    • The changes to onside kicks were ridiculous and ruined a significant part of the game     It was already a high risk low reward play.  Why change it?
