He lived in Washington state for 2 years..... he was in california the majority of his life... He has lived in Charlotte for 8 years..

Why would he go to Seattle? 

I was a little curious about that as well. Pretty sure he calls Sacramento home and returns there in the offseason.

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?

No

Yes

Yes (and important to resign with how good the oline looked with him in the lineup)

If cheap

Sure why not

Open competition with Zane Gonzalez

Restructure Shaq. Outright cutting Shaq is tough with how terrible our LB core is outside of Luvu. We would probably have to draft a MLB day 2 in the draft to replace him or sign a FA, which I don't want to do if we are paying dead cap with cutting Shaq.

 

In the draft, we need weapons. Another receiver opposite DJ (preferably 1 that is tall) and a TE are badly needed. Slide TMJ into the slot and let him rotate with Shi Smith & Shenault. Shenault we can use in wildcat and motion sweep passes (like we did this year). Cut the rest of the bum WRs we have.

On defense (assuming we are 4-3), another edge and interior dlineman are a must (unless we sign a FA). It wouldn't hurt to upgrade corner, but I think that has to be a lower priority for us because every other position on D is so much worse. Slide Chinn into that hybrid LB/SS role and let him blitz or cover opposing RBs/TEs, where he is at his best.

For the draft, it ideally looks something like this: QB (trade to 5 or 6 if Young/Stroud there and give up 9, 39, 132) and then DE, WR, TE, DI, LB, RB/CB with the rest of the picks (hopefully DE earlier than the rest).

If we can't go QB, if we could trade down and manage to get WR, TE, and DE in the first 39ish picks (something like Quentin Johnson/Smith-Njigba, Kincaid/Musgrove, Ojulari/McDonald IV), that would be great and we can just wait until next year for a QB.

Yeah let’s cut a performing, dependable player and create a giant hole on a very important position on a shaky defense. 
 

doofus. 

If you think arm tackle shaq is “performing and dependable” you’ve prob been watching the jags. And you don’t need to sign your work we all know you’re a doofus 😘

Ioannidis, Darnold, Jansen are gone. Possibly Pineiro if Reich has a kicker he wants available.

Foreman's tape is gonna look good. Allows Reich to solely focus on QB because Foreman is good enough to hold the position down for another year. Bozeman is interesting but I think they'll keep him and it'll be an evaluation year for Reich on him. Thompson is up in the air. Luvu is the one LB that's a must, the rest are fairly underwhelming

I’m also good with Darnold back as a backup, but I think Reich may want to go draft pick - Corral - Eason, or draft pick - Eason - Corral. 

With a new system being installed it could be Brissett, theres a handful of other backup level vets that could probably help get the younger guys up to speed at least. I imagine we'll have 4 Qb's for OTA's at least

      Panthers and Jalen Coker agree to extension

      By TD alt · Posted

      I'm OK with it. I think it's a little high considering his injury history and weight issues, but Coker seems to be a solid kid that has an understanding of what it takes to be a pro, and I believe that they believe that he did enough last season to show that he's ready to be a consistent force within the offense. Let's go, Coker, be all that everyone, including yourself, knows that you can be!

      SI article on Legette: "Minicamp is the perfect time to...be overly optimistic..."

      By TD alt · Posted

      https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/onsi/xavier-legette-s-offseason-focus-could-help-unlock-panthers-wr I am going to be totally honest here: If I had to bet Xavier Legette would pass or fail--well, maybe catch on or drop (pun obviously intended), my money--err, pie in Zod's coming Huddle wagering system😅), I would pick the latter based upon what I've seen the last couple of years. But, like the writer, Preston Palm✋🏽, says, I'm going to be optimistic. Why not? It's the time of year for it, and I've told y'all before that through my fully grown skepticism, I haven't completely given up on X. I'm rooting for the kid.  X knows he can't have another year like the last, he said it himself: "My main thing is just to have a better year. I can't have another year like last year, I can't do that." He knows what's on the line. He's not dumb, however much some of you want to equate being country, or, more specifically, "talking country," with being dumb (which is kind of dumb in itself, but I digress...). X knows what's on the line, very clearly. As such, he has made some changes according to Palm ✋🏽, "Legette has looked noticeably thinner at minicamp this year and has reportedly dropped 7-9 pounds, which should alleviate some pressure on his hamstrings and not force as much impact on them every route he runs." You see, part of X's problem the last couple of seasons were his hamstrings, and now, he's focused on "bulletproofing" his hammies.  But of course X's journey hasn't just been about physical misfortunes and injuries, he knows that he hasn't displayed the best football, so he's embracing the pressure to perform, and likens it to what he did at USC (the southern version *sarcasm present*) during his time there. He exploded on the scene during his senior year, so hopefully he'll do something similar in year three of the NFL. Though we've recently seen some receivers breakout sooner, many receiver still don't break out until their third season due to the complexity of NFL route trees and such. I've never been an X hater, but I'm a realist. Still, I'm looking for X to make the jump. That would be the best for all involved.
