He’s 31, unless he’s interested in a hometown discount deal, those funds are better spent on the OL. 
 

traded for him when they thought they had a shot at post season.. once the structure caught fire and burned to the ground a vet CB looking at UFA just isn’t a great match.

I'm guessing the plan was to trade a 6th round pick for a future 3rd round (comp) pick.

This was always a good trade for us. We had the cap, and we bet that we would get a better pick than what we traded for him. Thats 3D level chess what Fitt did. 

Lets all stop bitching. Think what you want about Rhule but Fitt is the next generation of GM's.

I don't think it would be dumb for us providing it's not a backbreaking deal.

But unless he just really wants to play for the hometown team, I do kinda think it'd be dumb for him.

Due to his time in the league, Gilmore can at best net us a 5th. Not picking up a FA that cancels out that 5th round wouldn't seem to difficult, but our FO is making some silly moves so far with signing Walker and Thomas so I wouldn't back on any guarantees.

I disagree.

Extending Donte would be even dumber.  And guys like Gilmore are usually able to transition to safety as they age out of corner and still have just as much of an impact.  It would be dumb to let him walk if he wants to be here.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
