One would assume it would be an easy way to free up 5 million for a cap strapped team, however we do need insurance/vet leader in case DJ or Samuel goes down. We will have to see the contracts coming up in free agency to see if that’s a good decision or not. Thoughts?

The dude literally collected free paychecks and pitched a political agenda last season. He can coach or work in the FO.

If I'm Hurney that's what I'm telling Ron. There's no way I can let this guy hit me for $5M against the cap. No way. He can either take a huge paycut or you can try to offer him a position on your staff. That's it. He's not sticking on this roster at $5M.

Like i said last off season Torrey Smith is not a #1 Wr

his best days are behind him

He was never the guy the Panthers needed

#1? Torrey Smith should be no higher than #4 on the depth chart and how often do we field more than three WRs? When we got 4+ wide, it usually involves CMC and/or a TE splitting out wide.

There's no point in letting him go until we find another WR who could play outside in case of injury.

And I know people love Samuel and everything, and I do too, but he only has half a season of work and hasn't been healthy for a full 16 game season yet.  The smart move is to keep Torrey Smith until we find another outside receiver we can groom.

Relax, guys.

Yeah, I never understood anyone talking about him as a #1. I saw him as insurance in case Moore wasn't ready to go from day one which he provided. Unfortunately, because Ron is Ron, Smith's presence on the roster kept Samuel off the field far too often earlier in the season. I was just fine with the trade because I was plenty ready to move on from Worley.

The Eagles were going to cut him last year before we traded for him. Coming off a SB and a decent season. Yet we are going to keep him....TWICE. And after an injury-filled season. 

   I’m getting a bad feeling about another contract.

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By trucpfan · Posted

      This is huge may not be a trap game but this plays a major part in what they want to do. If we can get some pressure on Sam we know what he does with pressure coming hit and heavy. Also we may be able to take the top off their defense a backup safety trying to stop TMac or Cooker over the top or forcing him to play the backend should allow us to run the ball somewhat effectively. Either they allow some runs or we take some shots and if Bryce and whoever can connect deep we’ll be in business for another big time win against a top notch opponent. Might not be a trap game but health travel game plans all play a major role in each weeks game plan and this week might be leaving our way. We’re missing some replaceable pieces they’re missing key anchors to the offense and defense major difference time to solidly ourselves at one of the top teams in the nfc tomorrow fellas buckle up.

      Give Legette another season?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Yes.  If I am not mistaken, we need to sign Coker to the ERFA tender and insist that XL spends his spring and summer at a WR camp and not Coon huntin on his four wheeler.  XL was raw when we picked him--which is why I wanted to go another direction--and we are seeing how raw.  He is basically learning a position.     The Panthers will make their move in 2026 to be an NFL powerhouse behind Bryce.  Bryce needs intelligent WRs who catch the ball.  That said, we need a solid #2 to challenge XL and make cutting him easy, if necessary.  A #2 WR (intented to be a #1 by now) with under 400 yards is embarrassing.   On offense, you have to ask, "Where can we get better?"  In my view, #2 WR, TE (although they are improving) and maybe C (again, if we re-sign Mays, he is trending up and at 26, entering his prime--I say stay with him and find competition later in the draft (not good for C).  OL depth maybe?  In other words, XL is a glaring weak spot.
