Panthers trade for Sam Darnold


Memphis

I can live with the 6th and a 4th next year, but the 2nd rounder as well without a 5th year option and on the final year of his deal? fuging ew.

The only thing that makes this palatable is that his cap hit is just below $5M

1-Slater OT 2-Bateman WR could be a nice haul

or

1-Pitts/Chase WR-TE  2-Cosmi/Mayfield OT

Lets get a 2nd/3rd for Teddy and keep this thing going. They must’ve not liked Fields or Lance...or we weren’t finding it possible to actually trade up. Which tells me Cinci and Miami have their guys locked in.

 I don't see as a downgrade. Physically Darnold is ahead of Teddy, age wise as well. Put Teddy B on the Jets and he doesn't get a win. This is a lateral move at worst. 

It’s a massive improvement in potential and the ability to throw deep. Panthers offense has way more talent than the jets did at any point with darnold

Dude's a Panther now so I'll support him, I hope he does well in the system. I think it's an upgrade over Teddy and I also think people who are immediately jumping on the hate train to just relax and realize that you don't play for the Panthers so like, it doesn't really affect you?? I dunno, some of yall sound like no matter what move the team makes, you're jumpin off the bridge.

It's the Huddle bro. You'll get used to it after a while, but it will still piss you off from time to time.

    • You joke, but it can always be worse. He might walk with a limp or need assistance. Different sport, but Lonzo Ball couldn't even walk up steps a year after his injury.
    • I mean... a lot of the information that could've helped set better expectations has always been out there: There was no RB on the team under contract for the 2025 - 2026 season except for Miles Sanders. The team did not have a second round pick going into the 2025 season due to the trade for Young. Chuba's extension did not happen until the beginning of November. Jonathon Brooks was the clear RB1 in the class with a massive gap between RB1 & RB2. Example: Dane Brugler had Brooks as RB1, overall #48; Blake Corum was RB2, #81 overall. The Giants held pick #47 and had just lost Saquon Barkley to the Eagles in free agency. They were going to take Brooks had the Panthers not jumped in front of them. So if we're framing things with that context: Chuba was expected to be RB1 Miles (at the time) was RB2 Brooks was essentially RB3, stashed for rehab in 2024 with a long runway. The original injury occurred Nov 2023 while the re-injury occurred December 2024. That is right in the high-risk window for recurrence, especially in explosive athletes. The fact that it also happened on a non-contact play suggests possible biomechanical issues such as muscle imbalance, rather than a failed surgery (or bad decision-making).   NFL teams invest heavily in medically vetting prospects. If there had been a clear red flag in imaging or recovery markers, the team is going to find it. This sucks and the Panthers have sucked, yes, but this wasn't blind optimism or malpractice by the front office. It was a calculated decision based on the roster, draft capital, positional scarcity, etc.
    • Yep, but they can all rotate with Brown, Brown and Robinson (sounds like a law firm). Can't continue to have Derrick Brown out there for 90+ percent of the defensive snaps. An injury was bound to happen.
