I would be floored if we re-signed Samuel.  I’d love to keep him, but WR depth with Moore and Anderson just isn’t that important compared to what he’ll probably demand against the cap.  We need a TE, LT, QB, and depth at numerous other spots.  

And we may have an effective slot on the roster or there could be one on day 3 of the draft. With the reduced cap, it is not a good year to be Samuel.  I think he goes into the market and returns to accept a contract in the lower numbers---maybe some crackhead GM will throw the checkbook at him, but I doubt it.

Someone will see him as a potential #1 because we tend to see what we want to see. I could see the Bears or Eagles jumping on him. Maybe the Dolphins.

Curtis Samuel is gone sadly. 
 

we only have like 16 mill cap space post franchise tag moton 

We got to sign our draft picks ... 

we have like 8 mill to spend on a free agents ... 

it’s going to take Samuel 13 to resign with us ...

 

my guess he goes to Jacksonville

Upside to Samuel leaving is more volume for DJ Moore who would be better with those short passes, reverses, and even a few carries (he's simply better after the catch). Might be the best thing overall despite my want to keep Curt since everyone on Twitter with a team need at WR seems to want him. They even want him here in Boston. 

I'd love to keep Samuel with plans to let Robby go after next year but WR talent enters the draft every year and it might be smart to start planning for a DJ extension next year if he makes the expected jump he's primed for with more targets.

I think he will get 9-10 mil a year and we won’t pay that because we have DJ Moore and Anderson. If he don’t come back for cheap we can find someone in draft or FA for cheap. We have to fill other holes, we is not one right now when we consider him WR3

I agree with this.  There are some much cheaper rookies waiting to be drafted--that will play hard for a fraction of what Samuel will charge.  We'd like to have him back, but it aint happening.

@kungfoodude remember when I suggested/strongly supported signing Samuel at the years start for 3 years 21 mill and many call me crazy... Even in a unseeen down year, he could get vast more. Theres plenty of FAs WRS and Draft is loaded as well, that could give the panthers a tiny shot for resigning him. This will come down to if a team really just wants Samuel and not "fill a need".

Everyone talking about a loaded draft at wr what assets and picks do we have to invest in a number 3 wr? Presuming we trade up for a qb is all but certain are we asking a 5th-6th rounders to be curtis? Not to mention the holes still needed to filled on defense at safety, Dt, tackle and corner... like I don't see us having the capital to draft a decent wr even in a deep class.

      (Potential) Top 2026 HC Candidates

      Made this list after viewing multiple articles. First thoughts: Would remove Bill, Arthur, and Josh McCown I already took out Deion and replaced him with Dan Lanning.

      (Potential) Top 2026 HC Candidates

      By CarolinaLivin · Posted

      Note: List is not in order of best-least   Inactive former head coaches Mike McCarthy He doesn't get enough credit for what he's done with the Packers (especially early on) and the Cowboys. His current ceiling might not be the highest, but he's won a Super Bowl and is a respected name to stabilize a franchise. Jon Gruden Gruden left the NFL on bad terms and is trying to regain the respect of some around (and outside of) the league.   Offensive coordinators Joe Brady, Buffalo Bills The Bills' offense undoubtedly got better since Brady took over, and his name is as hot right now as it was when he took over the Panthers' OC job in 2020. He's a part of the process to make Josh Allen, already an elite quarterback, into the MVP he has been. Todd Monken, Baltimore Ravens Monken was close to the top of last year's list, and he deserves credit for making Lamar Jackson an even better passing quarterback.  Mike Kafka, New York Giants Kafka has been mentioned as a future head coach for around four years now, even though the lack of collective success in New York doesn't help. Last year, he was promoted to assistant head coach in addition to his OC title to elevate his status. Kliff Kingsbury, Washington Commanders Kingsbury had a four-year stint as the Cardinals head coach, with limited success. However, he's at a different moment of his career, and the performance with the Commanders' offense is notable. John Morton, Detroit Lions The Lions lost Ben Johnson, and John Morton has done a good job early on to replace him, as the Lions still sit among the best offenses in the NFL. Josh McCown, Minnesota Vikings quarterbacks coach McCown is the only position coach in this year's list, and that's because he's been mentioned as a future head coach since he finished his playing days. He's had HC interviews. Josh Grizzard, Tampa Bay Buccaneers The Bucs have lost their OC to HC jobs two years in a row, with Panthers' Dave Canales and Jaguars' Liam Coen. And the offense is still a top 10 unit, which almost automatically puts Grizzard in the conversation. Arthur Smith, Pittsburgh Steelers Smith had a three-year stint with the Falcons, and it didn't go great. But he's a sharp offensive mind, and if he can take the most out of the Aaron Rodgers experience in Pittsburgh, his name will be around. Klint Kubiak, Seattle Seahawks Kubiak had a fast start with the Saints last year, but one he couldn't sustain due to multiple injuries throughout the roster—which included quarterback Derek Carr. This year, he's elevated the Seahawks' offense with Sam Darnold at quarterback, and his background under Kyle Shanahan and his dad Gary Kubiak is an interesting element.   Defensive coordinators Jesse Minter, Los Angeles Chargers With a top 5 defense, Minter is one of the hottest names in this cycle. He's still relatively young at 42, has strong NFL and college coaching experience, and his leadership style is impressive—learning behind Jim Harbaugh certainly helps. Brian Flores, Minnesota Vikings As a defensive mind, Flores is as good as anyone in the NFL. He would have to answer some questions about his failed time with the Dolphins as a head coach, but he's so consistently good at DC that new opportunities should arise. Jeff Hafley, Green Bay Packers A former college head coach at Boston College, Hafley has transformed the Packers' defense after failed experiences with previous coordinators. He's a great defensive mind and an excellent communicator. Robert Saleh, San Francisco 49ers Saleh's tenure with the Jets was bad, but it's hard to blame him too much. His defenses will always be at least solid, and a more stable franchise could offer him a better shot. Jim Schwartz, Cleveland Browns Schwartz is that type of DC that has already been a head coach a long time ago (Lions, between 2009 and 2013), and it feels like he's satisfied being a coordinator. But he's been so successful with the Browns that he at least deserves to be mentioned. Anthony Campanile, Jacksonville Jaguars Campanile was highly respected during his time with the Dolphins and Packers, and now he's making the most out of his early stages as the Jaguars DC. He's considered a strong leader. Vance Joseph, Denver Broncos Joseph had a failed stint as the Broncos head coach, but he's so respected that the franchise hired him back as a DC. And he's done an excellent job in this area. Chris Shula, Los Angeles Rams Sean McVay's coaching tree is as good as there is, and Shula has been with the Rams since McVay's original coaching staff was built in 2017. He's been promoted five times, including to DC in 2024. He's made the most out of a young defensive group.   College coaches Bill Belichick, North Carolina Nobody in the NFL wanted Belichick in 2024 and 2025, but that could always change if a franchise wants a strong leader for a short period of time. Steve Sarkisian, Texas Multiple college coaches are wanting to make the transition to the NFL, and Sarkisian could be the next one. His most recent NFL experience was as the Falcons offensive coordinator between 2017 and 2018. Matt Campbell, Iowa State Perceived as a program builder, Campbell has been mentioned as a potential NFL coach for years now. Lincoln Riley, USC Riley helped develop three first overall pick quarterbacks in Baker Mayfield, Kyler Murray, and Caleb Williams, so the blueprint of what he could do is there. Developing passers is his calling card. Ryan Day, Ohio State Day has had a lot of success in college, including a national championship in 2024. And he has experience in the NFL as a quarterbacks coach for the Eagles and 49ers under Chip Kelly. Dan Lanning, Oregon Head coach Dan Lanning has done a tremendous job with this football program. He has been the head coach since the 2022 season. Oregon went undefeated during the regular season last year and has a chance to lead them to another one this season. What are the odds that Lanning could potentially be getting interesting from other NFL teams this offseason?
