If we go into the season with our current stable of FS we are in big trouble. 

You’d think a safety burned down Ron Rivera’s house and fuged his wife the way he disregards them on the roster

We will absolutely sign another safety before training camp but yet again I ask why the hate for Gaulden? He had a red shirt year as a third round pick. You all act like he blew a game that cost us the playoffs. Do you not think the young man has the ability to Improve on his rookie season while learning a new position? Did he fug your wife? It will be a great thing if he steps up and improves enough to become a starter.

Hell I hope the kids balls out.  No he doesn’t have an enormous athletic profile but he is instinctive.  Ya’ll treat him as though he is Matt Khalil and robbed us of 55mil.  He was a 3rd round pick.  Give him time.  If he’s not ready they will go get some aging 30+ year old safety for you guys to complain about.

The best case scenario for the Panthers would be for this guy to improve by leaps and bounds and become a legit starting NFL FS. But, the Panthers standing pat and hoping that the answer is on the roster at FS is far from comforting. It's what we always do. The problem is that it always leads to subpar FS play and our secondary ends up getting torched unless we have an elite pass rush. Not good pass rush, elite pass rush.

    • Serious question:  Why LG and not RG?  There may be something I do not know, but Hunt's contract is huge and he could be let go after this season (post june 1 cut) and it would save the Panthers a ton of money.  Extending him would be paying a G who is in his mid 30s guaranteed money (and I do not see that as a terrible thing).  So if we release him at age 31, we save $19m.  I like him, but at 31, will he be worth the mega contract?   LG Damien Lewis has actually outperformed Hunt and he is a year younger.  He would also save less vs. the cap and leave less in the dead cap pool.  While his current contract expires after the 2027 season, he is a better prospect (IMO) to extend because only 50% of his current contract was guaranteed.  Here are his contract numbers.   Now, getting to Ickey--he could want LT money if he is offered a second contract.  If we pay him LT money to play either G positions, we are likely overpaying.  Secondly, the injury he suffered could be one that limits his productivity.  Ickey was improving, but he was an average LT.  The only way I re-sign Ickey is to have him accept a G contract and make a lot of it incentive based.     I feel like I am missing something, but in my mind, Ickey was always a guard if you consider the fact that he is an average OT and would be a great G.  Is that still the case (injury)?
    • Supplemental draft uses picks from next year. So a team were to draft him in the 1st, their upcoming 1st next draft would no longer be available. There have been some notable players that were obtained in the supplemental draft, such as Kosar. It doesn't necessarily happen every year either, and is more on a as needed basis. The gambling trouble is a big red flag for teams, and maybe pushes him down to a 4th? Not sure a team would use a 1st on him.
