I know you don't want to hear it but if you aren't going to pay D. Jackson top 5 CB money then you need to trade him

I mean yeah, him blowing up in contract year is such a Donte Jackson move, I think we all saw this coming lol. But i love the way he's playing and am strongly considering keeping him to cover fast dudes bc no team in the league has four solid corners. If these dudes all work out that's an edge no other team has and is the kind of forward thinking thing that has made this franchise interesting the past few months. 

Jaycee in the slot with Donte and Stephon on the outside in man, with CJ Henderson here and there in the wings is a good call.

Panthers are gonna have cap room. Donte is like 25, which is still young as hell, Panthers can offer him a three year deal (Reddick too) before a lot of current contracts expire and we have to pay Burns etc. He'll be able to test the market again when he's 28, and team has to make a decision on Horn and Henderson. Win-win. They can keep Reddick three more years too.

It'd be nice to get a competent interior lineman for DJ, but I expect that's not happening. I could see the Panthers getting a 3rd round pick, potentially a 2nd for him.

Lots of teams would love to have a young, fast, potential #1 CB on their team going into the second half of the season. At the end of the year, they could tag him or extend him and would have plenty of time to do so. If they are a playoff team, giving up a late 2nd or 3rd wouldn't be much of an ask and it would certainly be worth it to the Panthers as they try to fix the OLine through the draft.

If it’s a playoff team, I’d want a 2nd and 4th/5th for Jackson. Make up the two picks we gave up. 
 

We gave up Arnold and a 3rd for Henderson and Jackson has proven to be a better CB to date. Granted, CJ was a recent top selection.

While I don't disagree with the OP sentiment, the unfortunate fact is that there simply aren't any takers out there.  Think about it this way.

Who would the market be for Donte?  If you aren't interested in the player for this year, you can get him for free next March.  That eliminates pretty much half the league right there.

Further, we just picked up CJ Henderson for a 3rd and Stephon Gilmore for a 6th.  What does that tell you about the market right now for CB's?  There just nothing there.  We bought in a low market, which is what you're supposed to do.

The only way I see that changing is if there is some bizarre series of season ending injuries to starting CB's across the league.

I can argue trading DJAX--You have Horne and CJ Henderson to man the outside CB duties over the next 3 years or so and Jax is not an ideal nickel.  We also have a developing Keith Taylor.  He's gonna want big money and we need to sign Reddick and a few other players like DJ.

      ESPN showing some love on out draft class!!

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      He makes a good point about Wallace.  In fairness to Wallace it is hard to play your position as freely as you need to when your defensive line is getting pushed around like ragdolls.  One of the greatest attributes a defensive line has is sucking up blocks, freeing up your linebackers.  Our defensive line couldn't suck up a lollipop more or less blocks.  I think Evans, Sanders and Tremble are going to be a really nice TE group.  I can see all three getting time on the field.  If Sanders can improve as a blocker teams won't be so inclined to believe it is a pass play whenever Sanders is on the field.  Ryan Fitzgerald, I think was an awesome pick-up. Hopefully he can fill our kicker void. Luke Kandra many turn out to be our next Norwell.  Everything I have heard about him says he's a beast.  He needs some refinement, but the good news is he's got Hunt and Lewis (arguably the best guard tandem in the league) to learn from.

      Morgan & Canales

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Great teams build through the draft and have several young players that start that are on rookie contracts. It's important to hit on players in rounds 4 thru 7.  These should be future starters and solid depth.  When you hit on most of your picks you free up a lot of cap space for those one- or two-year players to fill spots you are thin at. No GM is going to perfect on all their picks.  You're going to whiff every once in a while.  That was Hurney problem.  He'd nail the first pick but after that it was reach after reach and we couldn't get any depth on this team. I'm excited about Morgan as our GM and hopefully he'll be around a long time.  It will be even better if Canales can continue to grow as a head coach, both in the development of young players and play calling. I remember last season after Young came back in the lineup and started to perform well.  We saw different plays I had only seen other teams use.   If Canales's play design and play calling continue to grow. Morgan and Canales will be linked together for a long time.  It would be nice to see a Coach and GM together for a decade or two. Go Panthers
