Like my late mother-in-law used to say, "What you don't see will make a whole 'nother world."

The team is in flux. There are far too many unknowns to see any path right now, beginning with HC.

Again for the record I would 100% being sniffing around Baltimore to see what it would take.  But thats assuming Jackson would even want to come here

Like they said in the broadcast yesterday, our franchise will be an attractive place to land next year due to having all of the cornerstones in place aside from a QB.  Based on the HC hire, I think that will be the determining factor for whether or not someone like Jackson would want to come here.

The idea of a new HC coming in and doing a mega deal year 1 out of the gate is worst case scenario. Maybe year 2 if they have a good to great learning curve but never year 1. After the Watson swing I don't want to see anyone in house on the buying end of a mega deal anytime soon.

A new and competent offensive minded HC could be competing and winning by the end of the first year with a vet or a rookie, with some luck thrown in. I don't think amyone here now fits the minimum of that so it will hopefully be new faces. Just draft a QB, find a vet if it's not on of the top 2 guys and do it again in 2024 if it's not good enough and until we find a long term QB option.

This year is all about telling us what we need to do better next year. Staff, personel and dumb direction that got us in this damn mess.

I havent followed Jackson and his contract negotiations at all but why would he want to leave Balt?  Thats the epitome of a stable franchise.

From what I read it's mainly due to them not being able to surround him with playmakers. Jackson also represents himself now, and probbaly wants to make a statement in the contract negotiation process. He wants to be paid like Watson.

 

I know he wasnt happy with the Hollywood trade... image.png.d676f642240756b2df384ffd61651e6e.png

A lot of folks said that for the Giants coming into this season. And there they are, right in the thick of it.

Right folks, right coaching... and stay away from injuries.

And it's not like our division is highly competitive anymore, by any stretch of the imagination.

Who are these “some?”  The only player not under contract next year is Bozeman. Everyone here knows that it is time to draft a center or see if mays can do it.

I've been barking up that tree for a few years now.  I like Mayes as a solid IOL depth--IOL#4.  I'd rather draft a center that has played it his entire college career.

It shouldn't take 2 years to turn this into a winning team. It's been 5 years already.

Despite what Tepper and Rhule's dumbasses think, it doesn't take 7 years to make a winning team in the NFL.

It will take at least 2 years if we draft the right QB. If by year 3, we haven’t been to the back playoffs, it will probably not happen with the next regime

      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

      By Leeroy Jenkins Ph.D. · Posted

      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.
