The most for the least is the correct answer.

The Panthers most productive TEs in the team's history weren't drafted by them.

Just sayin'

I was going to say that we need to draft one, but you make a good argument here.

That new TE coach we snagged though has some connections to the draft this year, so I wouldn't be surprised to see a reuniting moment.

Ebron is desperately trying to play here. May be worth kicking the tires on him, he is a solid vet and has experience with Reich.

When I think of Ebron, I think of a guy who drops easy passes when they are most needed....Maybe not fair, but I can't get that out of my head.

What is he, about 30?

I have no idea what happened to Ebron in the NFL. Dude was a beast in college. It'd be one thing if he just didn't translate in that he wasn't able to get open, etc. But it was like he just forgot how to play football on the NFL despite his athleticism clearly translating.

What connections are those? UNC or Tennessee doesn't have a draftable TE in this year's draft. Anyone he coached at UGA is long gone and it's a completely new coaching staff from when he was there nearly a decade ago.

With that said, Darnell Washington is my Anthony Richardson of TEs this year. Super intriguing talent.

He still had triple the production of anyone we've had at TE since Greg left. 2020 he still put up 558 yards and 5 tds in a rotation. Not saying it would be groundbreaking but if he comes on a vet min he could definitely beat out a least one of the 4 bums Rhule and McAdoo were rotating. Maybe even teach Tremble a thing or two

I'd be fine with Ebron for situational purposes and a vet presence that could help bring along Tremble. Honestly we know what Ian can do and he isnt going to be here the remainder of his contract unless he realizes as close to the ceiling of what we saw year 1 as possible. As much as I'm hearing this draft class overall is substantially weaker than years past i do see a good 4-5 TEs available that are rated better than a lot of years past TEs so it seems at least to the naked eye this position group is a strength. I would love if we could get any of Mayer, Musgrove, Kincaid, LaPorta, Washington to name a few. If we do not I hope we can lure either Schultz, Engram or Gesicki here as an alternative. The price will be significantly higher but with how Reich values TE play, Brown being recently a TE coach and getting the most out of a not so great TE room in LA and Lilly coming in and seeing what he has done to bring along Nesbit I feel we will put more emphasis on bringing together this position group than years past.

I could have very well have been wrong about that. So many names swirling around from so many different programs.

It's not out of the question that he still has connections within the UGA program somewhere. Hopefully he does because Washington would make for an intriguing potential 2nd round target.

I see we're still trying to push a dumb agenda in the middle of good times 😆

Holding our general manager to his words is a "dumb agenda"? Yeah I'm happy about our coaching staff too. I'll be thrilled if and when we draft our QB in the first and develop him. But I can also acknowledge mistakes and not just blame it all on Matt Rhule. You can't handle that because you are smitten with Scott like you've got a personal bromance going with the guy. That isn't consistent with the standard you employed for Marty Hurney and anyone who has read enough of your 130 thousand posts knows this. But you do you and enjoy your weekend 🫶

      Joe Person: Panthers will let Cade Mays test the free agent market

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      If Mays has a market, which it seems he will, he's gone.  I think we bring back Nijman for too much money to be cautious at LT, Corbett comes back cheap since he's already said he wants to live in CLT, and Christensen eventually gets re-signed with the hopes he can be depth at some point.  Draft an OT, draft a C. The OL might be rough for stretches next year, but time to get some youth there to prepare for Bryce in 2027 or the next QB. I still think we compete for the division in 2026 and can go back to the playoffs unlike the oddsmakers in Vegas, but the *real* year is 2027 IMO. Either Bryce has proven it and he's the QB looking at his 2nd contract, or we have the ready-made team for the next rookie QB or Vet we trade for.

      Joe Person: Panthers will let Cade Mays test the free agent market

      By Leeroy Jenkins Ph.D. · Posted

      The Panthers are going to have a lot more flexibility in free agency than it looks like at first glance. On paper, the cap space might seem tight, but there are several obvious restructure candidates that could easily free up significant room. Between converting base salaries into signing bonuses and spreading cap hits out over future years, Carolina could realistically clear $60–80 million in additional space if they wanted to be aggressive. That kind of flexibility means they’re not stuck. They can extend key young pieces, add help along the offensive line, upgrade the defense, and still be strategic about value signings. Letting Cade Mays test the market makes sense from a leverage standpoint. If he’s willing to come back on a team-friendly deal, great, continuity on the line matters. But if his market price climbs, the Panthers should absolutely explore upgrades. The point is, this front office isn’t boxed in. With cap maneuvering and smart structuring, they have the ability to be active players in free agency rather than sitting on the sidelines like we are used too.
