If NO, SF, and PHI all win out, NO and PHI get the wildcards. Sean hates us, but he's not giving up a shot at the playoffs to drop us a few spots in the draft.

Think about that. Sean's a quality NFL coach and with the QB situation he's had this year, he's on the verge of the playoffs, presumably running the same offensive system that we can't get any of our QBs to look good with...

Part of my view is I don't know what the Saints did today.  I hope they won. 

Don't tell me, I get the opportunity to watch it later today on Armed Forces Network.

It may be, but my point was that if GB beats Minnesota this week, I think they’ve got the bye because their last game is against Detroit. More of a I can’t see them losing to Detroit with a bye on the line. 

So bugs: What percentage chance do we get pick 5 if we lose out?

Easy answer:

1. We lose out

2. Giants beat Chicago, gets us to 5

3. Jets win one of their last two and their SOS goes higher than ours by one game (right now on Tankathon we are both at .512

Harder to know:

4. Chicago either keeps their SOS above ours (they are at .516) or their win one more

5. Seattle does the same as Chicago (.514 SOS)

4 & 5 should happen as I think Chicago beats the Giants and Seattle beats Detroit this week. 1 has to happen. I don’t think 2 and 3 happen unless the Bills rest against the Jets or Washington decides to pack it in the last two games for draft slot.

U said Giants need to be Chicago tho???

Tankathon SOS is calculated on all 17 games, so we need the Jets non-common season opponents to start winning too.

Also, we apparently dropped to 7 and Seattle passed us.

      Joe Person: Panthers will let Cade Mays test the free agent market

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      If Mays has a market, which it seems he will, he's gone.  I think we bring back Nijman for too much money to be cautious at LT, Corbett comes back cheap since he's already said he wants to live in CLT, and Christensen eventually gets re-signed with the hopes he can be depth at some point.  Draft an OT, draft a C. The OL might be rough for stretches next year, but time to get some youth there to prepare for Bryce in 2027 or the next QB. I still think we compete for the division in 2026 and can go back to the playoffs unlike the oddsmakers in Vegas, but the *real* year is 2027 IMO. Either Bryce has proven it and he's the QB looking at his 2nd contract, or we have the ready-made team for the next rookie QB or Vet we trade for.

      Joe Person: Panthers will let Cade Mays test the free agent market

      By Leeroy Jenkins Ph.D. · Posted

      The Panthers are going to have a lot more flexibility in free agency than it looks like at first glance. On paper, the cap space might seem tight, but there are several obvious restructure candidates that could easily free up significant room. Between converting base salaries into signing bonuses and spreading cap hits out over future years, Carolina could realistically clear $60–80 million in additional space if they wanted to be aggressive. That kind of flexibility means they’re not stuck. They can extend key young pieces, add help along the offensive line, upgrade the defense, and still be strategic about value signings. Letting Cade Mays test the market makes sense from a leverage standpoint. If he’s willing to come back on a team-friendly deal, great, continuity on the line matters. But if his market price climbs, the Panthers should absolutely explore upgrades. The point is, this front office isn’t boxed in. With cap maneuvering and smart structuring, they have the ability to be active players in free agency rather than sitting on the sidelines like we are used too.
