okay, they win the division and go nowhere in the playoffs.  Meanwhile the rest of the division is getting younger and flush with cap money.  Again, this idea that they are contenders is crazy.  The only thing I can think of is they are letting these key defensive players in their prime play out their deals while keeping them in the thick of things.  They are trying their best to retool on the fly, but I don't see it working.

I am not worried about the Saints with Allen as the coach. They only become a worry if they get a legit head coach.

Make no mistake, they are still talented and their drafting has been pretty successful. I am not predicting they will stink until I see their drafting start tanking.

At some point they are going to have to blow it all up.  Why not now?  I get there's a staff trying to keep their jobs, but as an organization--GM, owners, they have to realize this is unsustainable.  Restructures are fine if BOTH parties agree, but it's going to be tough to get that many players to take a pay cut or push their money out several years.  If they are committed to that staff, they say "look, we have to clear our books and it will be a tough couple of years, but we will stick by you as we get though this."

Just depends on how long you can kick the can, and how much the cap goes up with the new TV deals.

End of the day, you still have to put butts in seats.

As far as pushing their money out several years, if you are talking about restructuring, the players get their money upfront. It becomes bonus instead of salary. Bonus can applied to future years cap over the entire length of the contract. Players aren't ever turning down being paid in advance.

Panthers plan at QB should be what it should have been in 2020

Stick with what you have unless you are getting a bonafide stud via trade.  Otherwise look to get a blue chip QB prospect in the draft.  If for some reason you are unable to get one, go with what you have and look forward to 2024.

Stop throwing money at stopgaps.  I want a franchise QB or I want to work on building a great team.  I like Carr actually and wouldn't be mad if we signed him. Way better than Darnold, Bridgewater, Mayfield, etc. But I don't know if it would be the most ideal scenario.

Was hoping they would cut him, and we could entertain him on a 2 year deal and still bring in a rookie...could at least be competitive in the division that way.

Whatever.

They will 100% cut him.  I'd be shocked if any team traded for him knowing how likely it is for him to be cut, unless they truly felt there was no way Carr would sign with them and wanted to secure his services. But while I like Carr, he isn't that good to be that desperate.

I wouldn't trade anything for Carr.  I wouldn't take him on $30 million a season.

However, I think he's a good QB.  I think he has at least two or three good years left in him.  How many times did the Raiders defense let this dude down?  It's obscene.  Over the last five seasons, the Raiders defense has ranked 26th, 26th, 30th, 24th and 32nd in points against.

The problem isn't Carr.  The problem is those guys don't have a single (*&$@ing clue how to play defense.

Any team out there to trade for him right now would have to be absolutely brain dead.  Unless you just have to have him, and don't want anybody else snooping around. Considering how much money hes set to make next year, and that the Raiders are going to be forced to cut him, its simple to just wait until hes cut then try to sign him.  Plus you don't have to give up any resources in the process.

      MLB Devin Lloyd for WR Jalen Coker??

      By shaqattaq · Posted

      I'm not to sure it's a solid argument to try to estimate what he will do this season, BUT he's had a solid 3 years in the league. Here's his numbers compared to Jewell's for the same time period. I can see the logic of getting a starting MLB for a (at best) WR4. AT, XL and Tmac are certainly our top 3 guys IN 2025. Certainly worth pondering.

      Training camp just started and it's already starting... https://www.facebook.com/reel/24277303321904901/?mibextid=rS40aB7S9Ucbxw6v LOL No one believes you and you have fan pages sharing this with a "Play him or trade him" headline. Oh wee mayne. This is why no front offices wanted any part of this.

      Honestly, it only makes sense if you're trying to chase being the best bad team you can be this year. The number one question we need answered this season is whether or not Bryce is our long-term franchise QB. Trading away a second year WR who was second on the team in catch percentage, first in yards per target, and who clearly outplayed your 1st round pick for a likely one year rental fill in LB is exactly the type of short sighted desperation moves that has made us the worst franchise in the league under Tepper. We gotta stop making these types of moves and just focus on building a good organization and a good roster. Lloyd is a JAG LB another bad team and awful defense is wavering on and a couple of Panthers fans are salivating over him. Oof. We just need to be patient and wait. Definitely make some calls around the league to teams deep at LB and see if there's an opportunity to add one for a late round pick. Definitely shop the waiver wire hard. The reality is that LB is almost certainly going to be a weakness for us this year. We weren't fixing our entire roster in one off-season and we're not fixing an overall weak positional group in late July.  If you trade for Lloyd LB is still a weakness and you've given up a young promising WR who could potentially help you answer the question of whether or not Bryce is that guy. That's bad football business.
