The fact WFT took one a few picks later tells me we knew they were eyeing one and wanted to make sure we got the pick of the litter. Jansen is old and we will save a million to cut him. Half this board was crying about late picks being useless, then (rightfully) celebrating over picks like Nixon and Brown. Well, we probably just drafted a 12+ year starter at LS while saving a million. Of course the negative brigade will manufacture some reason to be unhappy with it. 
 

Yesterday the 6th round had no talent. Today we passed over 3 potential OG starters for a long snapper. SMH this board is nonsense.

I posted before the WFT pick. I figured he could have been had in the 7th since it's not such a high demand position. I dont have an issue with getting a LS if we are moving on from Jansen. A million a year for someone who has always been reliable at what I feel is an undervalued position is worth it in my opinion, but it is just that, my opinion. I just really liked the idea of Morrissey because of his versatility without the injury history.

It is absolutely worth it, but if we think this guy can play for more than a decade for us and Jansen maybe only has 1 year left, then saving a million and moving on now seems ideal. Especially if we know we can go ahead and lock up the future at the position in the process.

We didn’t take Fields so some must now insist that every decision we make is stupid. Despite there being quite a few logical reasons for this choice. 
 

So it’s easier to just say that the literal best collegiate long snapper is “average” so we can continue pushing the idea our entire team is run by morons.

In true Huddle fashion 

hes the most pessimistic poster by far. 

90% of his posts are a negative spin on something. I wonder what his life is like

When you have a dozen draft picks and only 53 spots, the chances a late round draft pick making the team isn't great. So why not take the best rookie long snapper and save $1 million on your cap? Honestly one of the soundest picks at that point of the draft.

      Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.

      This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.

      Guessing the price is too rich here given the injury history.  2024 was brutal and production dropped off in 2025 with a few more injuries (albeit rough qb play).    Don’t really understand the narrative that Young can’t benefit from talented upgrades on offense. Especially here with respect to a tight end. Any QB will benefit from talented receivers that threaten the top of coverage and tight ends with skills to stress zone.    The age and injury history, coupled with what he’s likely asking, just probably means we can better spend that money elsewhere.
