IMO this is a good signing I'm hoping for a RB committee. A big back like freeman could get 10 12 carries a game- CMC 7 or 8, and a 3rd back (Hubbard/Abdullah/someone else) could pickup a few as well. CMC could be used enough to continue to be and effective decoy. Stays in to pass pro. some and catches 8-12 balls a game out of slot and the backfield.

He has never played a full season (ACL/Bicep problems). Teams didn't want him on their opening day roster following the ACL injury. Brought in off the street mid season as an emergency/temporary RB for the Titans last season. Practice squad hero.

Colts and Falcons tossed him.

For a big back he doesn't have much power and gets taken off his feet easily. Stumbles and falls down often. Poor balance. Seems to want to avoid contact. Slow. Doesn't bring the same push he did before the ACL injury. Needs a strong interior OL that can open holes.

Looks more like a good undersized TE/H-back. Good hands and great in the open field.

A one and done player if he doesn't get cut in the preseason or tossed out during the season. Could be an ask by Watson. He wasn't receiving any offers. He has never been offered more than $1M for a season. Panthers overpaid for a practice squad player.

Exactly - he's pretty meh. 4.1 career YPC with a whopping 5 TDs in almost 1000 career carries who doesn't catch the ball... I guess if they want a one-dimensional power runner for short yardage then so be it, but this signing is not a needle-mover otherwise.

Signings like this make me wonder what the hell were we doing with Ian Thomas.

Was just thinking that. He can catch better than Ian Thomas or Chuba if you're looking for a checkdown guy that can actually get some yac and also pass block if necessary

Foreman has 18 career catches in 4 seasons vs 1000 carries. He's not a receiving back.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By strato · Posted

      Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances.

      Dan had a great draft

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By 45catfan · Posted

      I just saw the funniest thing...or very disappointing, depending how you handle misery. A guy on YouTube did a 2027 'way too early' mock draft.  If I told you the simulator has the Panthers selecting in the top 10 , what would you say?  If I told you it was pick #8 and only two QBs were taken in the top 7, what would you say?  If I told you this dude had us taking a defensive player, what would you say?
