Supposed Schefter report without any source cited for actual comment (if one was made): Panthers have reached out to GreenBay inquiring about Rodgers

[frankw]

The draft is still weeks away. This is at least better than yet another thread about Carr or Darnold.

[Tomcatn]

Aaron Rodgers....Anthony Richardson, AR and AR? Cosmic connection?....maybe, maybe not

[Luciu5]

Even if we aren't interested in Rodgers, it's possible we are more checking on how hot Carr will be. If Rodgers is available, Carr has less suitors and there is less pressure on the Panthers to make a decision quickly. If Rodgers isn't available and Lamar isn't available, then Carr is the #1 QB in this market.

[Wundrbread33]

If we acquire Rodgers or Carr, we won’t draft a QB at 9. At least incredibly unlikely since nothing is impossible. 
 

We probably load up on skill players in the first two rounds, or go for our favorite edge. 
 

Corral and Eason will be the young guys learning, and since they are already on the roster, their presence won’t piss off the vet we just committed to.

Would you rather everyone have an extended discussion of a fake story?

Why?

It's no different than discussing a hypothetical. This is the offseason, there's not exactly content growing on trees at the moment. And we don't even know for sure if the story is fake yet.

Reports: We love Bijan, Rodgers chatter, Hooker love, it is officially the season to not believe a single report you hear.

Two 2nd rd picks for Rodgers.

 

Draft AR #9.

 

Win a SB with Rodgers in the next 2 years hand the keys to the other AR in 2025. Best case scenario because we aren't winning a SB if we go the Carr route.

In order to even entertain trading for Rogers I believe we have to have 60m in cap space available just to be able to take his current salary without being over. 

[stratocatter]

As far as the Panthers inquiring, they need to know where every domino is likely to tip. 
They need to at the least dig up a feel for where he will go, as putting any good intel into the pot helps when they are cooking up the plans, as in plan A, plan B etc. 

[KatsAzz]

Hopefully, the Panthers are not thinking of staking their future on a QB nearing 40 year old that seems to be slipping somewhat.

Cap Space is not a thing.

None of these teams can actually afford Aaron Rodgers. But somehow they are linked to him.

Everyone loves a good Hooker.

Cap space does actually exist, even though it can be manipulated. In order to trade for a player, they have to be able to absorb his cap hit without going over at the time of the trade. If they can do that, then contracts can be re-worked, but they actually have to have the room to complete the trade. That's why we were making all that room before Watson kicked Carolina out of the equation. I'm no capologist, but I guarantee it's going to play a role if we're genuinely interested.

My point exactly.
