I swear people keep ignoring this. Teams can be over the cap and still be in position to get the highest paid player on the market.

 

There is no cap in reality. Teams can make space if they really want a specific player.

Really. So how much more do you think the Panthers have to spend? Could they sign any players they want? Do they have unlimited funds at the moment? 
 

  Now who’s ignoring facts?

If we thought we might lose him, why didn’t we slap the franchise tag on him? What would that have cost us this year?

 

Edit: Nvm…didn’t realize the tag for any Oline position is the all the same. $18mill is obviously too much

Some people just don't travel.

 

If only they knew just how big Chicago actually is. Obviously they have their bad parts of the city but Chicago is definitely a great place to raise a family depending on where you live. I only been their once but it was for 2 weeks and I enjoyed my time there. Big city reminds me of New York but less crowed.lol

Yeah and when you are getting paid millions to play football you can live in the nicest parts or burbs of Chicago.  Professional athletes don't look at things like normal people would.  Private school for the kids, nice big mansion in the best part of the city.  Off season homes in even nicer places with better weather etc.

He would never choose to lose $4M over where he would be playing football.  If the #s are close then yes, he probably would stay for a little less here - less taxes too.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
