  • DE Yannick Ngakoue (27) - would be awesome to pair with Burns, but might be too expensive since we are gonna have pay Burns a truckload of money.
  • RB Deon Jackson (23) - thought he played well towards the end of the season, at least well enough to have been on the fantasy waiver wire radar. Could be a good addition to the RB room.
  • WR Paris Campbell (25) - would love to pair him with DJ.

Not familiar with the rest

  • DE Tyquan Lewis (27)
  • DE Ben Banogu (27)
  • DE Khalid Kareem (24)
  • DT Chris Williams (24)
  • DT Byron Cowart (26)
  • LB E.J. Speed (27)
  • LB Bobby Okereke (26)
  • FS Rodney McLeod (32)
  • SS Armani Watts (26)
  • CB Tony Brown (27)
  • G Matt Pryor (28) 
  • T Dennis Kelly (33)
  • RB Jake Funk (25)
  • WR Austin Dulin (25)
  • P Matt Haack (28)
  • K Chase McLaughlin (26)

I dont think we pair Campbell with Moore... bc Campbell isnt a X or Y receiver. You put him in the or the speed position to stretch the field. He would at best be a Shi replacement. 

 

Ngakoue has been predicted as a FA signing since the season's end, so it may actually come true.

Hmm how would everyone feel about signing Ngakoue and flipping Burns for some picks to acquire a QB.  Ngakoue would probably cost less money and be a solid replacement for Burns.  Use the picks to move up and draft Stroud.  Just thinking out loud....

Too late to sell Burns I'd assume, that ship sailed. One of the big reasons I think Fitterer messed up and should be replaced. Two 1st and a high 2nd, huge price to pay for a tweener pass rusher

DE Ben Banogu (27) is one Im familiar with. He was a 2nd rounder if Im correct, fell that far. I had him as a solid 1st. 

I always look for 2s,3,and other mid rounders. They dont have the 5th year tag and if they made it to the end of their rookie contract, thats impressive. 

 

Plus I already see lots of DEs....panthers need those.

I can't see trading Burns simply because I doubt we'd get anything near what we turned down from the Rams so Fitts would look like a complete jackass if he traded him now for significantly less. 

Who knows? He is a young double digit sack pass rusher who just made the All Pro team. He could even be packaged in the trade as the Bears could certainly use him.

Yep. Guys like Reddick and Ngakoue are out there every year plus rookies. I posted before that there were 10-15 9+ sack guys who were drafted/signed the past 3 years. Get a Burns lite and you make out like a bandit on the rest. 

Couldn't agree more and unless I hear from the Rams that that's not what they actually offered I'll always think Fitterer was a fool for not taking that deal. Very very few players are worth what the Rams offered, even franchise QBs. Look at what the Broncos dealt for Russell Wilson and the results he delivered....insane they didn't take that. And now they have to pay Burns BUCO dollars to keep him. Any good GM could have replaced Burns with one of those picks AND had the other 2 picks to boot. So damn stupid.

Not trading DJ Moore, now that I understand. He is on a reasonable contract and the 1st round pick would have had to have been used to replace him. Not really worth it IMO.

Hence the Burns trade should have been done when we had the desperate Rams on the hook. Here’s a 10 sack a season guy replacement plus another $10-12M FA, pick 36 (Miami forfeits 21) this year and 2024/2025 1sts. That Burns trade was a no-brainer even if you love Burns.

I've thought about this since the initial thread and the only thing I can come up with as the reason for keeping Burns is...the Panthers don't see a franchise QB in this class.  I'm assuming that their thought was Burns was more valuable than any QB available.  It's the only thing I can think of because you take that trade 10 out of 10 times if you felt you were getting your QB of the future or at least the ammo you need to try and get him.

Panthers view Burns as the cornerstone of the defense and have him valued at 2 first plus valuation. The first in the current draft would have to be top 10 and theyd want more than just that with out giving anything else up.

 

That's what it will take to get Burns from Carolina. 

 

So the Bears #1 pick, plus a 3rd/4th and there 1st in 2024 plud a 4th/5th type of deal. Think Mack to the bears type of trade.

Yeah, a trade for #1 overall would look more like Burns + #9 overall as a starting point of the negotiations. Thinking we'd get #1 plus more is crazy talk.

I'm just telling you what they would want. They did turn down two first and a second from the Rams. It would need to be a current high pick first plus a 2024 first plus another few picks between the drafts for the Panthers to bite and even then they might ask for a third first

Which is why he won't be traded.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By frankw · Posted

      4610 total yards 27 total touchdowns 8 yards per attempt. Completion percentage was usual Cam ie mediocre or below at best at 57.7 and 86.2 passer rating. But the man scored points and moved the ball at will often. Compared to 2652 total yards 21 total touchdowns 6.3 yards per attempt completion % 60.9 82.2 passer rating. Let's just not do things like this. We can acknowledge Bryce improved (from realistically a bottom 5 QB) and hope he can work his way within the top 15 this season without dragging Cam Newton into it and unintentionally diminishing him. That's all I got to say. Carry on.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!

      Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.
