Not sure about Hopkins but Cooks is expensive. If the Texans ate some of it then perhaps.

Trying to figure out what Nuk's contract would look like for us if traded, as well as comp going back. 

If AZ eats a big portion of what he's owed and the ask is a third rounder, then I'm game. That 2nd rounder needs to stay as a trade for Jeudy or for drafting a TE or WR. 

I think Hopkins has a good amount left in the tank. He's not a long-term answer, but could give us 2-3 more years of similar play.

We’d most likely have to extend him to make this deal work

Tight end Hayden Hurst is headed back to the NFC South. NFL Network Insiders Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo reported on Wednesday that the Carolina Panthers are expected to sign Hurst to a three-year, $21.75 million contract with $13 million fully guaranteed at signing, per sources informed of the situation.

Doubled his salary. Good for him.  Hopefully Schultz and Geisicki get a lot more so this doesn't look so bad. Not sure why we needed to sign a 29 yo for 3 year deal.

Soooooo, the guy is essentially taking a lateral payment or potentially a small reduction in salary to come here. 

That tracks with a vet that is a year older and entering his 30s. 

Also, let's not forget that Hurst was drafted at 25 years old, so he only has 5 years of tread off his tires. 

No. He is getting 2x his Bengals salary for some reason.

He'd actually only be on the books for about $19 million this year, which isn't terrible, he's just a bigger cap hit to the Cardinals due to the signing bonus still being part of his cap for them, which doesn't transfer to the new team in a trade.

If you sign him to a 2-3 year extension, they could bring that down to probably around $10 million this year as his cap hit I'm guessing.

If Spotrac is correct and I am reading it correctly, we have about $18m of cap room left ($10-12 for rookies) BEFORE paying Hurst--(so estimate about $15-14m, leaving about $3m.) The Shaq Thompson restructure does not seem to be on the books yet--so maybe add $10m?  Maybe someone who knows this stuff can figure it out.

Rounded 2023 cap figures:

Bell  $3m

Tuttle $3m

Bozeman $3m

Dalton  $2m

Hurst  $???

It would be the absolute most Panther thing to move up all the way to #1, lose your #1 WR because of it, only to draft the #3 ranked QB lmao

#3 ranked QB by who?  The talking heads?  

If they like 2 guys, I could see them moving back a spot for #34 from Houston.  Chances are we get our favorite anyway (if we have a favorite) and pick up a good spot for a WR.

I still would not be surprised to see us sign Odell--we are almost at the point where we have little choice--just restructured Hekker--so are we looking for loose change in the sofa cushions?  Hmmmm.  I am not sure how I feel about it-like saying "Beetlejuice" 3 times.

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      I'm not a Bryce hater and I would 100% move on.  Especially looking at how the upcoming qb draft looks on paper.  Hopefully he continues to improve but if in 3 seasons you're still chasing average season numbers then he's not going to be the guy.  You've just got to keep taking swings until you hit.  Average qbs without any elite physical traits cant get it done anymore.  So this year Hopefully he continues to develop and is above average statistically.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By panthers55 · Posted

      Meltdowns???? He was pulled by Canales because he wasn't executing the game plan after 2 games into the season so he could watch Dalton execute the offense and show Bryce the windows available in the NFL, how to push the ball down the field and how to step up and move around when blitzed. When Young came back 5 games later he clearly watched and improved. Enough he was named the future starter. He doesn't have a history of  meltdowns nor is there any reason to assume he will have one. From what I have read he is mentally strong and emotional stable. He may have bad games down the road, everyone does. But this is all a learning experience for him and so far he seems to be making progress. I can understand being hesitant on anything Panthers, but Young has surprisingly been able to gain his confidence after a disastrous start. You aren't alone in being cautious but I think he is the future. I thought he was too small and too short to succeed in the NFL. Honestly I was pleasantly surprised last year and am optimistic about the offense for the first time since Wilks and Dalton were decent.

      D. Morgan on T-Mac: “I made the decision pretty early [January]

      By Jon Snow · Posted

      The Rams wanted to trade up for Williams who they ended up within the end. They even told him that when they called him to let him know he is the pick. The other teams are only an assumption. Like the Cowboys, who took a guard. The truth is the team wanted to trade down first and foremost but couldn't get an offer the were happy with. They took McMillan because they felt he was bpa at 8 plain and simple.
