Zylstra unless we have a trade lined up with the Bears to deal Robbie.

These likely are the Panthers' 5 WRs: DJ Moore, Robbie Anderson, Shi Smith, Terrace Marshall Jr., Laviska Shenault and Rashard Higgins. Could mean the end for kick return specialist Andre Roberts. Shi Smith could return kicks.

Panthers like their top four WRs, DJ Moore, Robbie Anderson, Terrace Marshall Jr., and Shi Smith. Trade tells me they weren't sold on the experience and talent behind them.

Some details 
-Shenault will be a hybrid WR/ RB, capable of operating near LOS as runner, receiver or blocker. 
-Deal does not affect Terrace Marshall's role or status on the team. 
-McAdoo has history with Shenault from 2020
- Team gave up undisclosed draft comp to Jacksonville.

So we are adding another WR to what looked like a crowded WR room.  We have an OC who's history is a pass heavy O.  We brought in a gun slinger QB.  We were pass heavy in the preseason.  I think our days of a balanced run/pass attack are over.  It will preserve CMC and make us harder to plan against.

he also graded out well, and the pick was generally lauded by the nfl press when the Panthers made it.

Feels like something else is going on with TMJ.

Still have a feeling TMJ is being shopped. Also think Mims is still in the picture.

I don't know what happened. He looked so damn good in preseason last year, then *poof*... he just disappeared and hasn't been seen since.

Probably experienced some PTSD with Darnolds hospital balls. 

[Jared Patterson]

Robby should be the one being shopped. Yes, I think he is a very solid number 2; however, his cap hit is not going to work next season.... We are 35 million dollars over the cap and he is a top 5 cap hit.

Personally, I wish we would see some chatter with the LB and DT position. Maybe they piggy back off TMJ's draft stock and deal him

Oof. Yeah, that's pretty steep.

This crew keeps robbing Peter to pay Paul with their draft capital. I guess future draft capital doesn't really matter to you if you have to win this year to be around next year 

*Ah... I initially read this as we traded a 2nd for Shenault. Now I realize you were referring to TMJ.

I honestly expect us to deal TMJ for whatever we can get after this move.

Seems to be a foregone conclusion at this point if he cannot stay on the field. I was excited for his potential but at the time I knew we passed over oline talent and we convinced ourselves it was a slam dunk because supposedly the Saints were after him too. It's funny some folks can't handle discussing these truths and just rush in to poo posts like if they just double and triple down everything will work out in our favor

Can he kick?

TMJ and LS are two very different type of players

 

Yeah. Cutting or trading TMJ leaves us with a void at outside receiver depth, Viska doesn't solve this.

Also why do we keep trading future draft picks for guys who aren't wanted by their current teams?

Anything more than a future conditional 7th rounder and this will be even more frustrating given Shi being a similar role type of player already on the squad, but why do I feel like this is going to end up being a 4th rounder or something

Rhe team wants to win. I know you're not interested

I’m willing to bet it’s a 2024 pick

I thinks its a safe bet.

Plus there maybe " he needs to be on the roster 12 week or pick is void" type of language.

Most times its 6th/7th type of deal. Both sides agree to the wording, to save the player/agent grief.
