I expect next year to look like 2002 when we bring in an actual NFL coach.  The 01 team had some young pieces but desperately needed a coach to put them in position to win. This team reminds me some of the 01 group.

This team has talent, but that team had championship-level guys 

Smitty > Moore

Peppers > Burns

Buckner > Brown

‘01 Steroid Line > ‘21 Walmart Creatine Line

Morgan > Shaq

We have a young talented team.  Nothing need to be gutted.  We need QB, OL and TE.  We are set.  We will also have a ton of cap space.  You guys are so dramatic.

$29 million is not a ton if you want to sign any of our own FAs. 

I dont recall but I think panthers are like 15 to 18 in cap space

It’s quite hilarious actually if you think about it…. OP is suggestions fire selling a team with a top 2 defense and playmakers on the offense.

 

instead of evaluating gaps and filling them, fug it let’s just create more gaps and figure it out all over again……

Because people are stupid, this teams needs a real coach, and an OL.

I don’t know.  We are one of the youngest teams in the NFL.  Hard to have a fire sale with our roster. 

now we might let a lot of FAs walk.  No Gilmore.  No Reddick.  No Cam.  DJ maybe gone.    

not sure who would want CMC’s contract.  

 

 

I honestly think you bring in a new coach and a they can draft their rookie and go from there. The team is young and imo talented. Look at your guys that could turn into some draft equity (Derrick Brown, Burns) and maybe flip them for picks instead of expensive extensions. Prob don’t spend a bunch of money resigning a guy like Jackson. See if you can get appropriate value for CMC (which at this point is the cap room and probably a 2nd round pick). Then start to build…with a coach who knows how to coach an NFL roster.

It’s going to be more with increase cap and cap carry over from prior year.  We can also redo few contracts.  We can easily spend $50M in free agency.

Moton: convert salary to signing bonus $10M

Resign Shaq: $10M

Resign DJ Moore: $8M

Void Paradis contract $8M (zero dead money)

We will have about $40M in cap plus possible additional $35M with few moves.  So yea, we got a ton of cap space.

That 30M is including increase and carryover. 
 

Keep kicking the can down the road in rebuilding years and you’re never gonna see even mediocre. 
 

DJ Moore has a guaranteed 11M 5th year option. 
 

 Paradis’ voided money is basically dead money. It’s in the total already, but you still have to find  a C still and you’re not getting anything from Paradis for the 8.2M cap hit. 
 

And all the team needs is starters at QB, LT, LG, C, FS, LB, DT and 1 pick to help. How much are these starters going to cost if you can fill all those positions with “around” 40M. Plus pay draft class and any kind of depth.

      Thoughts on using AI for drafting?

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.

      Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
