Local college star out of Wake Forest is having contract dispute with team that drafted him in 2nd round.  If we can make a decent offer including picks or players ( future pick and player Robbie ) we have cap room maybe to sign.  Logistics aside the prospect of two young talented safeties playing together that complement each other like a ball hawk Bates and a playmaker linebacker hybrid Chinn is exciting.  I get the cons of lots of $$ invested at safety and the loss of yet another future draft pick but the pros are possibly worth the risk.  This move along with development by Burns,Brown, and Horn could legit give us a young defense that is scary good.

I've been begging for a legit FS for years but no. We're already pretty strapped on draft pick capital and I don't want this staff trading anymore future capital. They need to stink or swim with what they can muster up without further mortgaging our future.

Current history is not kind to spending wildly on safeties. 

I agree. Like the player but the price needs to be low and his contract demands probably don't make sense for a roster like ours.

This. He wants out of Cincinnati because he wants to get paid.

If not for the Woods signing, this would have my attention. Tho I have been trying to start Krob for the last two years, would be a big play true FS.......but Rhule/staff do not like his risk factor/coaching ears....

 

Safety is one of the spots the panthers are deep, plus Bates wants big $$$$$$, it's against my religion to pay them..

Personally, I think our secondary is going to be excellent.  I think we have 2 safeties, Hartsfield, and 4 CBs who should be ready to play (Horn, Jackson, Henderson, Taylor).

If we are going to pay someone some money, it needs to be a pass rusher, imo

      By CRA · Posted

      yeah, but the actual jersey Bryce Young is wearing is not the same jersey you are buying from Fanatics.

      i just feel like i read this he says she says poo all the time over & over again  on the internet  TV  work ,in public & then i think back to myself oh what a sick slandermongering world we live in now. ts just like those National Enquirer magazines you find in the grocery store at the checkout counter which are nothing more than complete & utter BS  & more often than not when you assume something then you make an ASS out of U & ME. so chill &  let the courts do their job & if he is guilty well he is guilty  LOL either or this has nothing at all whatsoever to do with Carolina Panthers football

      XL makes a list of sophomore breakout candidates

      By Captain Morgan · Posted

      Former league executive and current NFL.com analyst Marc Ross recently named his top second-year breakout candidates for the upcoming campaign. Ross includes Legette, who may be helped out by his team's latest first-round selection. He writes: Legette had a slow start to his NFL career, catching 49 passes for 497 yards and four touchdowns last season. Some of the struggles can be tied to his own growing pains -- he had eight drops on 81 targets, according to Pro Football Focus -- but he had also had to navigate the quarterback shuffle between Bryce Young and Andy Dalton early in Dave Canales' first season leading the Panthers. Canales recently said he believes Carolina has a DK Metcalf-like talent in Legette, who had foot surgery this offseason but was cleared to resume work in early April, and that having a full offseason alongside Young, who took a significant step forward in 2024, could lead to a breakout result in 2025. I anticipate it will also help that Carolina invested another first-round pick in a wide receiver, Arizona's Tetairoa McMillan, to complement Legette in the pass game. McMillan's presence, however, could take some pressure off Legette—who may be able to roam around in a more natural playmaking role. With the 6-foot-4 All-American likely to take on the bulk of the volume from Young, Legette should have some cleaner shots to break out downfield and in the box score.     https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/05/06/panthers-wr-xaiver-legette-top-breakout-candidates-2025/83475176007/?taid=681a4610ede05d000149b376&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter
