Not surprised if it does happen , this team is in blow it up mode.  They are going to start over fresh.  I’m also sure Cam doesn’t want to be part of a complete overhaul. Would you ? 

I've been preparing myself because of what Jeremy and Zack have said here, but it just doesnt sit well with me.  I understanding rebooting, but Cam has never been part of the problem here.  He's a former league MVP, and beat himself to a pulp carrying the team...  if he's truly 100% healthy, then imo, you give him every opportunity to remain a Panther.  We won't even get good value for him at this point bc of the injuries he's had over the last two years...  to me it's just disloyal and bad business.

Said his "guess, understanding" is, the FO will look to trade Cam once he's healthy.  If this is true, F this front office.

 

Once healthy?  That can't be determined until OTA's at the earliest, right?  So that would mean his contract would be fully guaranteed at that time.   So you yes that would be the only way you would part with him before his contract ran out.  That would be the teams position.  What's is Cams position?

I agree with you, but I have a feeling they aren’t going to keep him around.  I also don’t think he really wants to be part of this tear down that is going on.  It’s highly likely this team will win 5 games or less next season.

Well if that's the direction we're going in then realistically he shouldn't be the only one on the trade block.

Our primary focus will shift to acquiring a worthy franchise quarterback to lead this team, and as we have seen Kyle Allen/Will Grier are simply not up to the task. The potential moves required to make this happen could upset some. But remember, "it's a business".

that deleted thread that leaked the news before he announced sure seemed to suggest that rhule’s old college buddies knew

That was posted about 2 or 3 hours before Luke officially announced it.  It wasn't posted 2 months ago.

      The Evolution of the Panthers OL (2023 - 2025)

      By Icege · Posted

      Several Huddlers mentioned the states of other position groups in the WR evolution thread, so I figured... Why not? Let's throw something about the OL together. Snap counts btw include ST, but JJ Jansen is not included because it would be an insult to the GOAT for him to not have his own thread (which I'm not making).   2023: Revolving Doors Projected OL: Ikem Ekwonu, Brady Christensen, Bradley Bozeman, Austin Corbett, Taylor Moton Week 1: Ikem Ekwonu, Brady Christensen, Bradley Bozeman, Chandler Zavala, Taylor Moton Week 18: Ikem Ekwonu, Gabe Jackson, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen, Taylor Moton Snap Counts: Ikem Ekwonu (1,201), Taylor Moton (1,201), Bradley Bozeman (1,149), Calvin Throckmorton (544), Cade Mays (486), Chandler Zavala (403), Nash Jensen (334), Austin Corbett (261), Gabe Jackson (205), Justin McCray (84), Brett Toth (80, Brady Christensen (79), David Sharpe (24), Ricky Lee (24), J.D. DiRenzo (14) What Happened?: OL Hell. Corbett was out most of the season and then was reinjured shortly after returning. BC only got to play week one (finishing the game with a torn biceps). The interior became a weekly shuffling of overwhelmed rookies, emergency vets, and waiver claims to try and survive the season. BY9 ended up being the second most sacked rookie QB of all time (now third after Caleb Williams' rookie campaign). The team ended up starting 6 LGs and 7 RGs (in total, they played 8 different LGs and 9 different RGs). There was constant interior pressure, missed stunts, and zero chemistry. This was an insane fall off when the OL looked to be a strength at the end of 2022, but there was a scheme shift from a power run game to a lot more zone. Verdict: Icky and TMo were the glue while Bozeman was stuck between a turnstile and a parking cone. These three did their best to be the glue, but there was only so much that could be done with the injury issues and catastrophe that would end up being the coaching staff. 2024: Changing of the Guards Projected OL: Ikem Ekwonu, Damien Lewis, Austin Corbett, Robert Hunt, Taylor Moton Week 1: Ikem Ekwonu, Damien Lewis, Austin Corbett, Robert Hunt, Taylor Moton  Week 18: Ikem Ekwonu , Damien Lewis, Cade Mays, Chandler Zavala, Taylor Moton Snap Counts: Robert Hunt (1,022), Damien Lewis (999), Ikem Ekwonu (963), Taylor Moton (899), Cade Mays (502), Brady Christensen (448), Austin Corbett (292), Chandler Zavala (259), Yosh Nijman (255), Jarrett Kingston (25), Andrew Raym (4), Brandon Walton (4) What Happened?: Solved the LG + RG issues by reuniting Lewis with Canales and paying the best RG in free agency (Hunt). Corbett again didn't finish the season, but Cade Mays was brought back and he filled in admirably. BC played almost every position on the OL and provided a valuable back-up + OL6. Zavala even looked better and more comfortable. Icky continued to show promising development as well, earning himself the team picking up his bonus option. The team churned the bottom of the group a bit, using special teams as a way to evaluate them. Verdict: The team has four of the five OL spots now occupied with true starters for the following 2 - 3 seasons. The results showed on the field as the offense became who carried the team through the season. The team was left in a position to develop depth and find a long-term solution for the center position. 2025: What 2023 Should've Been? Projected OL LT: Ikem Ekwonu  LG: Damien Lewis C : Austin Corbett/Cade Mays RG: Robert Hunt RT: Taylor Moton What Might Happen?: The biggest question mark is obviously the center position and who comes away as the starter? Icky and TMo have been the only constants on this OL, but there was rumours this offseason that TMo has knee issues. Icky is going to be due a payday soon as well. BC provides a high-quality second-stringer at every position, but the team still needs to develop some young backups. Zavala and Kingston both provide depth at guard, but the team looks a little thin at tackle with Nijman and Walton being the next two up there. If the starting unit can remain healthy, especially the tackles, the team can continue to build off of the progress that they made in the second half of the 2024 - 2025 season.
