SAM DARNOLDQB, CAROLINA PANTHERS

ESPN's David Newton believes it is "doubtful" the team will make a run at a "high-priced" veteran quarterback such as Derek Carr.

Meanwhile, it is presented as "possible" that a "bargain-priced" quarterback could be added, and also as possible that the team will re-sign Sam Darnold. The Panthers are only expected to clear to about $15-$20 million in cap space this offseason, which would make it hard to go after the top of the quarterback market. It's beyond plausible that Darnold gets another prove-it deal after missing the start of last season with a high-ankle sprain and playing decently down the stretch. Newton writes to expect the Panthers to focus on quarterback in the draft, even if that means trading up from No. 9 overall -- Darnold could be the bridge to that new quarterback, or potentially to Matt Corral if the Panthers won't pay the price to select a quarterback early

Any chance we can get Winston for super cheap? I'd take a chance on him as a bridge QB until whoever we (hopefully) draft is ready.

Might as well roll with Sam as long as we go QB in round one. Let him start the season and our new kid play when he’s ready.

David Newton is about as reliable as Ms. Cleo when it comes to Carolina Panthers news.

Kind of like that idea myself. Also look like Trubisky could be getting cut Fitterer liked him last offseason

Every time I see Darnold possibly STILL being on this team I get physically ill. He is like a rash that won’t go away. 
Darnold you suck please just go the eff away.

We want to make the playoffs not be limited because our QB is a liability. 
Which Darnold will always be. He has, maybe 3 to 4 “ good” games in him and then he falls off a cliff. 
He isn’t a QB you want starting all season. .

Whomever we sign as the bridge, I would imagine that Reich will have major input into that decision.  If Darnell is not brought back, either his agent is asking for too rich a contract or Reich has determined that there are better options to hitch his wagon to until the rookie drafted is ready.  Will be interesting to see where this goes.

Be that as it may, he’s still the best QB we’ve had since Cam’s shoulder died. 
 

edit: to clarify, I’d be fine with bringing him back cheap to be a bridge/backup to whomever we draft in the first this year, not as a long term plan.
