I don’t post much here, more of a lurker, but saw this and wanted to share. Interesting article from a Jets site on Darnold’s possible future discussing a trade to the Saints while we would pay 60% of his salary. I have 0% faith that this would happen, but if Darnold actually went to the Saints I would throw a huge party.

He would go there. Get great coaching then become a potential HOFr and make us miserable for the next 12 years.

Doubtful.  Jameis Winston has shown way more in his NFL career, and Payton couldn't save him.  He's a football coach, not a miracle worker.

Darnold can't read the field.  He would need to spend 2-3 seasons in study hall as a backup before he had a chance to succeed IMO.  And you don't trade for an expiring contract to pick that kind of player up.  They might scoop him up for nothing after we dump him though.

Regardless of what the Panthers do with Darnold, this team clearly needs to bring in several QB’s and let them complete. To me not having any QB competition for Darnold was as big of an error as trading for him. There were several affordable options this past offseason….

When a team doesn’t have a proven starting QB they need competition.

Saints don't have cap room for a "salary dump" type player.

Not exactly true Winston was playing well until the injury, but he’s not fixing darnold I agree there

That's fair.  He statistically had his best year with the Saints, but it's kind of a marginal improvement.  I don't think they look at him as their future at QB.  Let's just put it that way.

True, I think they are infatuated with Taysom.  Winston I think deserves more of a shot than Sam going forward since he’s shown a lot more

      NBC Sports 2026 NFL GM rankings

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      All these rankings have more to do with the writers love or hate for a team.  Morgan, IMO, has done a really good job at building this team.  Yeah, there are a couple of whiffs but for the most part he has done quite well drafting and signing free agents.  22 is a bit low but it's a stupid opinion based on how little a writer knows about the Panthers.

      Maybe? Maybe....?

      When I saw that I was thinking the same thing.  If Evero does have a great season and gets hired as a head coach I wouldn't mind see McD as our DC.  If we do poorly as a team, I definitely would want him to be the front runner for HC.

      Joe Person: Panthers are NOT expected to extend Bryce Young before the 2026 season

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      But it's not about not upsetting a player under contract, it's about not causing a rift in the locker room. The players love Bryce, whether as a person or a player doesn't matter.  You can't spend a Top 10 pick on a QB and then still start your #1 overall pick in the last year of their contract. That act alone will cause a massive locker room rift/distraction that would be unavoidable.  Some players will question why you "wasted" a Top 10 pick on a QB you're not going to start instead of someone who can help right away.  While others will question why we are keeping Bryce around for the season when it's clear he's not the future guy at that point. It would just make for a bad start to the rookie's career while causing locker room distractions.  Again, I'd bet this has never happened in this league before with any 1st round QB, let alone the #1 overall pick, and there is a reason for it, which is that it would be epically stupid to do. And I used the Vikings as the example as they're the closest I can think of, because again, there isn't a direct comparison as nobody has ever done it because it's that dumb of an idea (no offense lol).
