Lol they just wasted more cap on Thomas so just expect to see the dead weight stay lol, it's all part of the process! 

I can not force myself to expect them to make decent moves at this point. If a player is overpaid and under performing it just means they are expected to start for us this year I guess.

Maybe cutting Anderson or Bouye will help.

Not a big fan of cutting Morgan Fox. Thought he did a decent job with us last year.

All that would require making good decisions and having a quality plan for the offseason.

So far that sounds unrealistic with what they look to have planned. I expect an Anderson extension before an Anderson cut by these people.

I remember him being really good a few years ago but then he went to the Raiders and disappeared.

The article speculates that maybe the DCs in Vegas didn't know how to use him.

That's exactly the case. He was a monster on that Rams defense before he left for the raiders. Great instinct. He is only 1 year removed from being the best coverage linebacker in the league. He created turnovers constantly as well. 

I'd love him here.

He's a middle guy, isn't he? Or am I remembering wrong?

We could really use a good MLB. Carter is a backup, at best.

    • I feel the same way. Bryce hasn't proven himself to be so good that he would clearly lap anyone that we'd bring in the compete for the starting job. I think the team is actually afraid to do that. If Bryce goes down does anyone think Kenny Pickett is solid option to replace him?. We can control him for 2026 and 2027. The problem is 2028. Unless he takes a massive leap forward ability wise, I don't see how Carolina can justify paying B.Y. $50 million a year. So far, Bryce has not shown that he can CONSISTENTLY carry a team. He needs to be carried by a strong offensive line, running game, pass catchers and a respectable defense. If he's lacking any of those things I don't think we can make the playoffs in 2026/2027 unless the NFC South is as bad (or worse) than 2025. Unfortunately, athletes and agents have EGOs! When he has a chance for a 2nd contract his management team will probably insist on a "market deal" and feel insulted if they don't get one. That leaves a couple of options if his play hasn't significantly improved. 1) Let him walk and test the market. 2) Franchise him for the 2028 season if you're still not sure about what to do. 3) Extend him to a team friendly deal that pays him below the "current market" which would allow the team to continue to build a solid team to support him. 4) Over pay him and pretty much ruin any chance of becoming a consistent contender. The last option is the LEAST DESIRABLE ONE. The 2026 season is a pivotal season for Bryce and the Carolina Panthers. The success of the next 5-7 years could ultimately be decided on how well plays the next 2 seasons.  
    • Thank god BigKat can't buy it because I'd be gone immediately 
    • Drake Maye ended up putting almost 300 on them lol. Bryce was stunned from the beginning to end. I know that's an easy comp for the Bryce truthers but no one else put up those puny QB stats against them all season long.
