How much cap space does this free up, by trading DJ?

That's what I'm wondering. What we save would have to be offset at some amount by the dead cap though right? He was only in the first year of that deal.

I don’t like the set up though…

If the #1 busts…

You could have a Fields/DJ connection work out great and a QB at 9 work out.  A double hit of egg on the face. 

I’m still ok with it.   Don’t like DJ going there though.  I’d rather of dealt Burns

Doubt you would. But if we are winning games with said QB I'm sure you won't remind us how wrong you were. 

I’ve called a spade a spade many times.

However, my track record on draft picks far exceeds how poorly you wish it to be. Glad to expound if needed  

Even more concerning are the trades I’ve hated in recent memory, and how those exact trades wound up being abject failures. You’re welcome to be excited about it, because this team’s owner wants you to be excited about his newest shiny new toy. 

But with a sub Rhule-tier GM picking, you’re not gonna be smiling for very long.

Deshaun Watson got more from his most uncooperative masseuse than the Bears are getting from us in this deal.

People need to be realistic about what a franchise QB is worth.  Losing DJ hurts us, especially next year no doubt, but the idea we got fleeced in this deal is nonsense.

We got a top 5-10 offensive line now and will hopefully have a franchise QB on a rookie contract.

Things are looking so much better than they have for the past 5 years.

Of course there is risk in everything, but anyone not excited about this (even if you are wary about the compensation) is crazy.

I'm tired of not being a serious football organization.  

We got an all-star offensive coaching staff, and we're giving them their pick of the litter.  It's on them now.

The funny thing is the Panthers could have had the Fields to D.J. connection.

I hope they know what they're doing. Scouting these quarterbacks is difficult this year. The talent is there, but it's a give and take with every prospect.

It’s Shitterer. This team is gonna be named the Dead Capthers by the end of the year.

We need to get some mental health hotlines pinned if this ends up being Levis. 

Don’t wish your Voodoo on the No. 1 pick!!! Lol

Think of it like this. Without a QB, DJ was a waste. Given the situation, we had to decide between a wr or a QB. WR are easier to find than QBs so DJ had to go.

All I can say is they better choose correctly or we are toast.

I PERSONALLY think if it’s Stroud, we’re toast. If it’s Young, you can build with it.

[Kentucky Panther]

I mean even if the QB doesn’t work out, this is the most excited Panthers fans have been in a long time. I’m going to enjoy the ride until our pick makes me not. I’m confident in the staff, though.

Given all that, I really am surprised teams haven't reached out to you for your services

A 2025 second is equivalent to a 2023 fourth, correct?

Something like that, yeah.

[Icege]

1. Young or Stroud

39. Jalin Hyatt, WR, Tennessee

93. Sam LePorta, TE, Iowa

We could have gotten Lamar Jackson for cheaper and kept dj.

50 million, all guaranteed is cheaper?

I feel confident you are smarter than Scott Fitterer, Frank Reich, Josh McCowen, Thomas Brown, Duce Staley, Parks Frazier, etc. who all signed off on this deal... /s

Seriously, Tepper hired an all-star cast of offensive coaches.  If they don't have a plan for moving forward with this move, we got much better issues than just this trade.

There is absolutely nothing crippling about this.  Yes, moving DJ doesn't help our WR corp next year, but we have plenty of money to spend in FA plus the potential to finally draft a franchise QB again.

Crippling is what this fanbase has had to endure the past 5 seasons.

We are finally a serious football organization again.  I don't know what's not to like about that

Exactly. These bozos are acting like they blew up a winning roster with championship aspirations
