The dumbest move in my opinion, would be selling the farm for QB Deshaun Watson.

Taking this big of a a risk and giving up significant draft capital  is simply not an option no matter how talented Watson is on the field.

There are now serious doubts about Watson’s character that simply wasn’t there before. The magnitude of these allegations dictate such perceptions and many would not welcome him like they were willing to with open arms around this time last year.

Your title is asking for dumbest yet to come....at least that's how I read it.

IF that's the case, trading our 1st to SF or MN for Jimmy or Cousins.

2nd: Selling the farm for Watson.

3rd: Overpaying for a Tackle in free agency in a strong tackle draft.

4th:  Taking a QB at 6.

1 Keeping Rhule.

2 Drafting Picket or trading for Jimmy G

3 Fugging up the cap and draft for next year on a bunch of scrubs we will be talking about the need to make them cap casualties next year...again. 

2023 Tepper allowing Rhule to have another year after he faceplants again this year. Basically rinse and repeat without the rinse.

Keeping Rhule is at the top of the list. Nothing dumber can be done.

Winning a couple more games before midseason to show improvement and Tepper puts it in writing that Rhule returns for a two more years before the team loses out the rest of the season. Would that be dumber?

      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

      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.
