[Person] Panthers were also in on DL Denico Autry and CB Michael Davis. Probably a good indicator of where they'll look today and in coming days

I think Leonard Williams could be the FA prize. I didn't think the Panthers would spend big money at DT but after cutting Kerr I think it's a possibility. They have to have a DT lined up to sign today after cutting him this late in the game.

He's franchise tagged.

The Leonard Williams that got franchise tagged by the Giants? You think Gettleman is going to pull another "yank the tag offer" move late in the offseason?

Young and talented? Not our style. We could go after Artie Burns...he tore his acl, so he fits our preferred profile.

You'd think with the Fitterer/Seattle connection, the Panthers would either be the first team to jump into the mix to sign Griffin, or it's telling if he's getting let go by Seattle AND the Panthers aren't interested....he's good but inconsistent from what I've read/seen about him.

Yep injured guys!

That's about all they can afford to sign this year.  It's a gamble they decided to take apparently. Sign guys who may be good but have had injuries in the past.  These guys will be cheaper than the guys everyone is clamoring for.  It's a sad reality that most or ignoring.

Perhaps we just don't want to pay the price of admission for him.

I would say that, but Panthers have done this for almost 27 years.

I would honestly have just preferred to go heavy OL in the draft. I suppose we will see how that works out. We would need depth guys, regardless.

It's a new regime, so I'm trying to not let my ingrained fear from the past 2 decades to cloud my perspective on what they are "trying" to do with the team.  It will take a couple of seasons to determine if it's just more of the same.

Well, it might only take one season. I can understand the one season "denial" buffer though. I remember looking back wistfully on the "Hurney 2.0" buffer year, the "Riverboat Ron" buffer years, the "Gettlemagic" buffer years, the "John Fox" buffer years......

Good times.

That's why I'm not going to label anything as good or bad.  I'm just trying to determine what the actual plan is going forward.  Whether it works out or not will take some time to figure out.

      Every single player to ever play in the league has had a “welcome to the NFL, rook” moment.  Every. Single. One.

      D. Morgan on T-Mac: “I made the decision pretty early [January]

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I can tell you've done your research on him from this post, as I had part of it in that response at first but removed it as for whatever reason I just felt my explanation of what I was trying to say felt clunky and wasn't getting my point across. It's the varying his speeds during routes part. I actually think that's why he had so many people saying he didn't seem like he had urgency in his route running, because he does THAT so well, and I think sometimes people see it and think he's loafing it out there but he's really just playing mind games with the DB's a lot of the time. He was soooooo good at those "I'm going to fake only running a 5-7 yard slant to sit in the hole but half as second before I know the QB is going to throw me the ball I'm going to take off at full speed" type of routes. We loved running those with him, he'd just run a slow short slant while the action is to the other side of the field through a play action or first read to the opposite side, and then he'd just take off on just enough of an angle to give him space on the defender and catch the pass in stride so he never slows down and gets those long strides moving. And yes, he's great at improvising.  Part of it is that him and our QB have played together since the 8th grade, but it's also something Bryce excels at so I think the two of them will build chemistry on those fast.

      I gave you a full breakdown and examples from last year as to why I think it's unfair to expect 1k from T-Mac this year if everyone stays healthy. But the TLDR version is we will have 4 legitimately good WRs next year, most rookies who get to 1,000 yards don't have any others on the team with them let alone 3 others, it will be hard for him to put up 1k with out the others being injured or falling short of expectations themselves, but in 2026 without Thielen it's different. Because again, I'm not assuming major injuries or games missed when I'm putting expectations out there for the season, I'm assuming good health.  If those other 3 WRs combine to miss a lot of time, then yes, he needs to get to 1k in that scenario.
