Rodgers, Russell, Watson, Stafford.

We've had our eyes on each one of these.  Shake your head if you want, but that's my feeling.

Will we get one?  Who knows, but we almost got one of them...heavy interest in another, and two more likely coming on the market next offseason.

Stafford said he would turn down trade here so I would say if he doesn’t want to be here, why would any of the others?

Why are you asking questions we can't answer?  Also did Stafford have a trade clause in his contract?

I'm just saying that we are keeping our options open, no idea what will happen, but so far, we have been in the chase for two top tier QB's...I don't think that we are done yet.

Did u not see the report that came out Stafford turned down Panthers. Sorry didn’t mean for other to be a question, I meant the other qbs won’t come here to play.

Stafford didn't want to come here because we didn't look like a contender, and LA did. That's not an inaccurate assessment.

As for next offseason, if we have a terrible year, we'll be no more appealing to an aging veteran franchise QB than we were this offseason, and if we have a great year, we still won't be appealing because it'll probably be because Sam did pretty good, and we won't be seen as having an opening at the QB spot.

We need to save it for contract extensions

Some cap wiz needs to confirm but there is only so much we can rollover based on a crap ton of things. I *think* we have to 80% and in a certain 4 year time period and also the rest of the nfl needs to use a certain amount.

And maybe some other stuff, I’m not sure of the specifics (it gets really messy) but I agree we need to save as much as possible to sign Moore and Burns who will not be cheap.

That was also before this season.  If we go out and kick some ass this year, or at least show a lot of improvement on offense, why wouldn't one of them want to come here?

I've seen some numbers posted here I don't believe are correct.

Cutting more leaves with 625k dead cap this year and next.  Total of 1.25 mill in dead cap.

Total cap savings for the 2 years are 3.5 million.  Easy decision to make for WR4, who Shi make push down to WR5.

So add 2.5 mill in cap space to next years total.

And add 6 mill in dead cap next year when we cut Shaq.  And add 12 mill in cap savings at the same time. 

Those 2 moves alone give us 14.5 mill more cap space for 2022.

 

future's so bright...

I got to think we sign a stud guard/center and release Elflein as well.

If we do "go out and kick some ass this year", that would pretty much mean Darnold had a great year. Why would they want to come here? Why would we want them?

      The Panthers Huddle Offseason Special

      I'll be patiently waiting to see what OL additions we snatch off the waiver wire.

      Look don't get me wrong here. I'm not arguing it's going to just change his arm talent overnight. I'm just saying doing anything on the physical front after the GM who stuck his neck out for him over the concerns around his physical traits got fired is better than doing nothing. That's another layer. It could easily be argued overall he needed to add at least 10 pounds not just for the sake of working in the pocket and not going down so easily but let's be honest eventually no matter how much we invest in the OL he's going to get hit some and those hits will add up. His frame as it stands is only going to absorb so much over a 17 game season. Oh definitely good or bad we will have to run a lot of under center stuff. Bryce will either look good or flounder. But our offense will remain stagnant if we just keep running shotgun plays 90% of the time. You're telegraphing your offense otherwise. That's why I'm not giving Chuba Hubbard too hard of a time over his YPC last year. We weren't fooling anyone. We'll see what Canales has cooked up. It better be pretty damn clever.

      Why would a team ever not be aggressive in improving the roster? It may look different from year to year but even the best rosters churn at the bottom. That's a no-brainer.
