Burns and Moore are the only ones with Tradable contacts after two years of restructuring CMC Robbie and others.

Robbie has a out next year and I suggest we take it. He's the second highest paid player on our roster! We could also trade him for the same hit.

What rebuild are you guys talking about? Spending $80M+ in cap in 2020 on Teddy, Robby, Okung, Weatherly, Apple and Searcy doesn’t seem like a rebuild. Did we trade away players for picks or did we maximize our comp picks like losing our 3rd for Bradberry? Nope.

2020 was a retool and try to compete using almost all you salary cap, etc. we did not commit in any way to a real rebuild.

When most losers rebuild they trade away expensive cap players for picks and don’t load up on FAs year 1 of rebuild. It’s about maximin cap rollover to use in future years and getting as many draft picks as you can. We didn’t rebuild. We first tried to save Marty’s job and then tried to maintain Rhule’s job and compete in 2020/2021. We did it again with Baker and are over the cap in 2023 right now by a lot even with $10M to rollover (might be $0 later).

Yup there was no rebuild at all. More like duck tapping and praying for good results.

      The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.

      Ok LT and Petersen are a cut above everyone else to me cmc and Faulk are interchangeable on this list.  though Faulk was better career wise
