DE, Ioannidis - Y/N
QB, Darnold - Y/N
C, Bozeman - Y/N
RB, Foreman - Y/N
LS, Jansen - Y/N
K, Pineiro - Y/N

Under Wilks, I would have said all but Ioannidis could get new contracts.. now under Reich it might be different..

Also, reworking Shaq might be done and he might just be cut.. I don't know. What u think?

The only one that really matters is Bozeman.

 Everybody else is very replaceable.  Maybe Pineiro if they don’t trust Zane.

I get the feeling he was the loudest in the room for Wilks so we’ll see. 

He could have been.... but I also expect him to be one of the 15 that Tepper/Fitt sat down with about Reich. I golfed with Shaq once at Piper Glenn through a random pairing on an offseason Sunday. 

He is a real good dude, and comes off rational and intelligent. The locker rooom listens to him and he is the type of veteran presence that is worth the 5-10 million per season.

Bozeman is the only priority from that list. I think they’ll get something done with him

It’s time to say bye to Shaq. We aren’t winning a Super Bowl in 2023 and he’ll be 30 in 2024. Restructuring him and kicking the can down the road makes little to no sense. However, I’m sure the Panthers will restructure him because it’s what they do

DE, Ioannidis - Y if the money is reasonable
QB, Darnold - Y if cheap as bridge
C, Bozeman - AFLY (absofuginglutely yes)
RB, Foreman - Y if the money is reasonable
LS, Jansen - Y
K, Pineiro - Y to compete against Gonzalez and let the best man win. Pineiro still needs to prove he can do it under pressure.

Bozeman, Jansen, Piniero, Darnold in that order. Shaq depending on whether he can or is willing to rework his contract. I’d only keep Foreman if the deal is reasonable - a RB that’s still young but starting to show wear. Not sure if I’d keep Ioannidis beyond vet minimum due to age and injuries.

Gonzalez has sustained non-contact injuries that has landed him on IR the past two seasons. That’s a concern to me. If anything, we should bring in another K to compete with Piniero. He’s been solid since the debacle in ATL. JMO

I don't understand what some people expect out of a kicker. He only led the league in PAT percentage last year, and only missed two field goals. Perfect from 50+ yards. So let's focus on only those two kicks versus the 95% of other kicks, right we should get rid of him ASAP!

To act like every single field goal in the NFL isn't high pressure is ridiculous. Eddie has proved he can do this job well and I guarantee you if we let him go Dallas would be happy to sign him same day.

    • Not sure if they are happy but realize they can’t upgrade everything this year and are content with the group
    • Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers  
    • While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
