I wonder what Verge thinks. I don't think Verge saw this coming at all....And if you see this Verge are we still going QB in the draft?

To @Verge’s credit, she had Darnold on our radar as someone we would want depending how things went.  

sounds like post 49ers trade that got speed up and more expensive.  Sounds like we negotiated the picks for a bit.  

I would like to know if QB is still in play and not off the table come draft like the GM said

I got clarity about Darnold on Saturday. Didn't leave much room for speculation lol

 

I still think we could go QB, but it is much more likely we got get a CB or olineman.

Apparently discussions started at Justin Fields' Pro Day - so this has been 5 days in the making.

I think people are reading too much into the "they didn't like QBs #3 & #4" as opposed to ensuring we had Teddy's replacement already in house in case plans went awry on draft night.  Teddy was not going to be here next season and Darnold was the nail in that coffin.    In 12-24 months Sam might be very well  be getting that same one-way ticket out of Charlotte.  I mean does the staff love Grier and Walker that much?

I think we will trade down to be honest.  OL will almost certainly be addressed with our first pick regardless.

If we aren't drafting a QB, honestly trading down and picking up future assets is probably my preference.

I don't want to trade WAY down, but sliding back to say a few spots and getting that '22 2nd rounder back? Yeah, I'd take that.

      injury updates

      By Captain Morgan · Posted

      not sure if any of this is news, but a good summary of our situation heading into training camp.  It's sure gonna be good getting Derrick back. After missing virtually all of the 2024 season, Panthers defensive tackle Derrick Brown is aiming for a full return to the field during training camp later this summer, per Joseph Person of The Athletic. Brown tore his meniscus in Week 1 and underwent season-ending surgery that has kept him limited through spring practices, though he did participate in “walk-throughs and light side work” during mandatory minicamp, according to Person. Brown originally stated a desire to be ready for the 2025 regular season, but his timeline appears to have moved up. Brown’s injury was particularly disappointing after a career-best 2023 season. He led all defensive linemen with 103 total tackles and was named to his first Pro Bowl, earning him a four-year, $96MM extension from the Panthers in April 2024. While he has never been a prolific pass rusher, Brown’s size and power has consistently commanded double-teams and created opportunities for his teammates. His impact was evident last season, as Carolina’s run defense ranked dead-last in his absence. The Panthers spent significant resources this offseason on defensive line depth, which should allow them to manage Brown’s usage more carefully coming off a major injury. He played a whopping 940 defensive snaps in 2023 (89% of the team’s total) and was on the field for almost every play before his injury last year. With new teammates Tershawn Wharton, Bobby Brown III, and Cam Jackson ready to share the load, Derrick Brown can take a lower snap share to stay fresh and healthy for the entire season. Here are a few updates on other Panthers returning from injuries:     https://www.profootballrumors.com/2025/06/panthers-injury-updates-brown-tremble-barno-wallace
