Word was they were trying to keep him.

He may have been on an expired contract though. Hard to say.

The Texans HC he was working under got canned.  So who knows if the new guy would have kept him or not.

I think the comfort level with OC McAdoo (who he worked with for many years at Green Bay) was a big part of Campen's move to Carolina.

the mcadoo connection might have been the trick. job taken despite having to work for a guy that couldn't tell his ass from a doorknob.

This is great news for Brady Christensen and Deonte Brown.   The team is finally going to see what these two can become.

Also I wouldn't be surprised if the team got better play from Cameron Erving and Pat Elflein (though that's not saying much).  Maybe these two can become competent backups or spot starters now ?

ok....now grab these guys:

Terron Armstead - pay him whatever

Ryan Jensen (option a) or Ben Jones (option b) - would be totally happy with either

Norwell - just bring him home.

do this and then we can talk about getting a QB in the first round. wouldn't need to worry about not having picks in the next couple rounds.

Rhule might have been NFL naive when he took over the Panthers but I don't think he's completely stupid.   If he has any self-awareness at all, Rhule must have known he needed more experienced guys to help him lead the team next season.  

I also wouldn't be surprised if his boss Tepper nudged him in that direction as well.  

I believe all your points may have played a factor in Rhule's "awakening".  McAdoo's personal contacts/established relationships within the league likely didn't hurt either.

      Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.

      This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.

      Guessing the price is too rich here given the injury history.  2024 was brutal and production dropped off in 2025 with a few more injuries (albeit rough qb play).    Don’t really understand the narrative that Young can’t benefit from talented upgrades on offense. Especially here with respect to a tight end. Any QB will benefit from talented receivers that threaten the top of coverage and tight ends with skills to stress zone.    The age and injury history, coupled with what he’s likely asking, just probably means we can better spend that money elsewhere.
