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?

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      By Icege · Posted

      While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
