Also DJack looks much better this year on the outside, the kid Horn can follow guys into the slot like Marlin Humphrey in Balt or Charles Woodson used to do and shut poo down when he gets healthy lololol

Fitt is the goat man

Jackson isn't being re-signed.  It just ain't happening.  Love him and I'm so happy to see him maximize his skill-set this year like I always knew he could, but it just doesn't make sense for this team to re-sign him at the $$ he'll be worth.  And schematically, I don't think you are getting the best out of any of our 3 corners (Horn, Jackson, Henderson) if you put them at nickel.

I'd much rather us use that money on the OL.  We also need to extend Moore and Reddick.

We have 5 years of Horn (assuming we pick up the 5th yr), and we have 3 years of Henderson, now peep this, we only have to pay his base salary for 22, 23, and 24, in 25 he's eligible for a 5th year option. 

JAX is accountable for his guaranteed salary until that 5th year, so we have the money to extend Jackson, and have it end around this time and decide who to keep then. 

obviously the cap is a myth and all but if henderson balls out, it's very difficult to prioritize donte over burns, dj, or poo, even reddick now.

We just have too many other things that will need our $ though.  I know we can afford to keep Jackson but the question is does it make a lot of sense to do so?  Reddick and Moore definitely deserve to get paid and need to.  Brian Burns is likely going to need an extension soon.  We need to upgrade the OL.  I just feel like in terms of importance, Donte Jackson will be a little ways down the list.  Maybe if we could afford him at the going rate for #2 CBs but Jackson will get #1 CB money.

It's being reported on NFL.com so I think it's a done deal.  Which is a great move for Carolina.   CB are pretty much plug-and-play guys so he should fit into Snow's system pretty much immediately.

Here's the guy's draft profile for those unfamiliar with him.  Henderson is the bomb !

I am mixed on this trade...I really like how Arnold was turning into a chain mover and Tight End is a significant part of Brady's scheme. Also, Henderson certainly fits a need but I am skeptical about his performance to date in the NFL. He is often injured, seems to have some struggles mentally and was average at best last year and was not even one of the top 5 CB's from the 2020 draft class (performance wise) . From PFF..."As for Henderson, Jacksonville is already giving up on him after just one NFL season. He finished the 2020 campaign with a 58.3 coverage grade on 270 coverage snaps, the seventh-best mark among the 2020 cornerback class".

With all that said, he has to have potential or he would not have been drafted in the first round so hopefully we can get him turned around.

I love DJax but this seals his fate, assuming Henderson plays well.  I just don't think we can prioritize paying him the money he deserves.

OL really needs to be a priority we spend big on too.

He's got better but he's still not as good as he seems to think he is. It's a little bit too much of a coincidence for me that he got better as soon as we got a defensive line full of killers.

Ugh....

We're still prepping BC and Brown, lets see how they do. 

Fitt will have more time to prepare for line acquisitions next year.   Last year we sucked so no one wanted to come here,  Fitt had just been hired and good OL get snatched up fast while some of those deals are a long time in the making.    

Darnold took too long to throw on Thursday, and the line looked bad.  I'm expecting that they are spending a ton of time addressing that.  Fortunately, the Cowboys DL is not elite either.  I'm hoping for a better showing.

      Worst Panthers Preseason Yet

      By Shotgun · Posted

      The panthers are such a trash organization at this point that all the huddle can do is argue about which panthers team is historically the worst…good times.

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Well, hope they're not worried about a torn Labrum or Rotator Cuff, as someone who went through that myself, I know those don't have anything show up on X-Rays but from the MRI, so this is kinda a nothing update, hope it's not a tear or his season is already over if they decide to do surgery now. Which is basically what would be needed to get him to 100% for the start of next season's training camp if it's a labrum.  If he plays the season with it and then does surgery, he's not going to be ready for camp and probably not the start of the season either.

      Preseason over..2025 predictions

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I always try to not pay much attention to a team’s preseason win/loss record. The 1982 Washington and 2021 LA Rams both lost every game in the preseason and went on to win the Super Bowl, whereas the 2008 Detroit Lions and 2017 Cleveland Browns both won every game in reason and went on to lose every regular season game. There’s many examples of teams that lose in preseason that go on to have good seasons, but equally there are teams that lose in preseason and that continues in the regular season. Which will we be?  I think our floor is a handful of wins, while our ceiling will probably be around the 9-10 win mark. The latter will require significant improvement from the whole team and coaching staff, and will also need Bryce to play like the QB we drafted him to be. I want to be optimistic and predict a winning season, but it’s really difficult as a Panthers fan!
