You have to consider that Bradberry has a say in where he plays too. Contract negotiations aren't a one way street.

You ever consider flashing a guy some serious money after his 3rd year in the league when he as a 2nd round draft pick and had made very little to that point?

If the player is good, you don't have to wait until they are free agents to extend them, in fact, it's really really smart to extend them early.  Moton should have been extended this past offseason, James the offseason before...but at the very least, him instead of Shaq.

Just a dumb team doing dumb team stuff.

Still don't why we aren't letting him play LT. He's had the best sample size of any tackle we've had since Oher.

Doesn't work that way in the NFL any longer.  There was a distinctive need for LT over RT in the years of ole...however, not the case any longer.

 

LT is still more valuable, but not by a ton, especially if you have a good RT...in addition, it's safer to keep said player where he plays well vs. moving him to where he could be serviceable.  Not to mention a higher injury risk.

He was going to make money wherever he chose to play. NY paid him just fine. Players chose to leave after their first contract regularly. It's the basis of free agency.  In the end we don't know if we attempted to keep him or why he chose to leave . So why assume we just prioritized one guy over another. They can juggle more than one contract negotiation at a time. It's not a simple linear thought process.

So you think that we tried to pay both Moton and James before their rookie deals were out and neither were interested?

Or...would you think that once again Hurney prioritized the LB and RB position over others?

Dion Dawkins LT at Bill's, whom it was told the Panthers was looking at but he was just picked before our pick that we used on Moton, got a 4 year deal in august. 60 million and 34 guaranteed. 

Since he is LT, Dawkins got more than what Moton probably will be given. But why not try the open market if you are Moton and have a good year. If he have a mediocre he would atleast get a decent offer from the Panthers.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By strato · Posted

      Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances.

      Dan had a great draft

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By 45catfan · Posted

      I just saw the funniest thing...or very disappointing, depending how you handle misery. A guy on YouTube did a 2027 'way too early' mock draft.  If I told you the simulator has the Panthers selecting in the top 10 , what would you say?  If I told you it was pick #8 and only two QBs were taken in the top 7, what would you say?  If I told you this dude had us taking a defensive player, what would you say?
