Big offseason coming up (not even Cam/QB related)

Yeah we may look very different on defense next year.  
The first priority should be Bradberry and Shaq.  

Preseason I would have said Bradberry over Shaq.  But Shaq has been playing So well this year, I can't see us without him

Shaq won’t get much of a pay raise than what he’s playing for now so that’s good.

Bradberry is gonna get paid

Boston may finally get a decent contract like he’s deserved 

Mccoy deserves a multi year contract, just hope the locker room has won him over enough to stay here for less than what other teams can offer

Don’t know how we feel about butler, but a reasonable contract at this rate is in order given his production.
 

Cockrell another candidate to be resigned as well

I believe Butler should get a Kyle Love type deal since that's basically who he would be replacing.  Not sure how he would feel about that or if he could get more elsewhere.

Every level could possibly take a hit.

Hypothetically speaking, if we didn't sign any of our guys back, I'm assuming we would look something like:

Haynes/KK/Poe/Burns

Miller/Luke/Carter Jr

Donte/(??)

Reid/Gaulden 

Alot of work has to be done this off-season. And I thought our run D couldn't get worse...

We have to try to ink Bradberry, Shaq, Addison, Cockrell, and DT depth...

How much $$ do we have again??

Bradberry > Shaq and I don't even think it's close.

My concern is the DL. McCoy is only on a one year deal, Love is only on a one year deal, Short is a potential cap casualty, and Butler is a FA.

Only silver lining in this is that the offense (obviously outside of QB and maybe Olsen retiring) is going to be set for next year.  That is a good thing.

But yeah a large percentage of contributors on defense will be free agents.

Underscores how important it is to continue to draft well, which we have done a pretty good job the last few years.

We are not going to be able to resign everyone we want so hitting on our draft picks will be crucial.

According to Spottrac, accounting for around 15 million we will be rolling over, and about 7 million allocated to sign rookies, we currently have about 36 million in cap space to sign players not already signed for next year. One of the players under contract for next year is Gano, so we'll probably pick up a million or two assuming he's cut.

    • That's my biggest concern with making him the 2C.  You split up the Aho Jarvis bromance that accounted for a lot of points.  If Jarvis excels as a C, it could help the team even more though.
    • The Saints being that high is the one that killed me. Chris Olave might not know his name at this point, Shaheed is coming off injury as well, so 31 year old Brandin Cooks might be your best WR...coming off a 260 yard season over 10 games. Kamara is Kamara, but didn't have 1,000 yards last year and is about to turn 30.  Toss in the fact that Taysom Hill may be the best QB on the team and I truly don't understand Barnwell's thoughts beside seeing the names "Olave" and "Kamara" and going yep, that sounds better than "Chuba" and "Thielen". 
    • Now now now, I wouldn't say there is no logic, but there's just not a lot of in-depth thought put into Barnwell's  "analysis." Now to be fair to him (and other national writers), pre-season team rankings are basically clickbait. And...Barnwell, himself, said that "there's a lot of projection here." He basically admits that he doesn't know how the hell things are going to turn out with our receiver group. He also said that "I find myself" more intrigued by Coker than Legette; that does not mean that he said that fans should be, or that Coker will even be better than Legette (regardless of ESPN's per-route-run stat). So, yeah, Barnwell said some things, but even he has to basically admit that he doesn't know how bad or good that our playmakers will be in 2025.  Overall, what Barnwell is basically thinking is that the Panthers have gotten worse at the offensive skill positions, and baked into that is that others have gotten better. That's the argument in July (meaning, please don't give this any more weight than it's due). I would personally be surprised (not shocked) if we end up worse than the Titans, Pats and Giants at least. Once you throw in the Bills, Giants, Jets, Steelers, and even the Chargers, I personally think there are several teams' skill groups that may end up ranked lower than ours by the end of 2025.  @kungfoodudeis one of my dudes, but like others he is over the tipping point. He's had enough. Seeing is believing. I will say this though: Barnwell's piece is less about logic than just good ol' opinion. And to be honest, he might as well be a Huddler throwing out sh¡t in the summer based upon nothing but good feels or bad feels.  Our offense as a whole (just like any other team's) is going to depend upon the play of the O-line and especially the QB. How you can even rank the skill positions without expressly baking those two things in the cake is beyond me. I would dare say that that's not even logical.
