DJ alone is $20M this year which sounded like a steal at the time. So $15M or so for Thielen and Hurst plus maybe a rookie WR I'm not mad at. Reich probably wants to spread the ball around more than the previous guy

It's structured to benefit us I'm not too worried about it. But we need to hit on another WR in the draft. If it's me I still take one in the 2nd or 3rd round.

Definitely. You can actually go for Zay/Downs/Hyatt now that we have enough big guys with good hands

By your logic, Foreman was a massive downgrade from CMC but that worked out quite well.

Leave the football talk to the grown ups. All of these moves have been calculated, strategic, and when paired with what we have done on the coaching staff sets us up for long term success as long as we get the QB position right.

Foreman was thrusted into the role of starter and it worked out, but he is certainly nowhere near the caliber of player as CMC. 

The question was whether this is the greatest FA of all time when it's really in line with what we see each year.

As it stands the team filled holes with vets and we still don't know if we'll have success at the QB even though we have a high draft pick.

Y'all did this same song as dance two years ago when Fitt came and brought in a bunch of guys.

2024 WR FAs is dripping with gold......about 10 studs, sure half will be tagged, but thats leaves 5 and panthers should still have around 50 million in space...plenty for a true #1.

The main guy I would be interested in is Tee Higgins.  I'm sure the Vikings will sign Justin Jefferson long term.  Tee Higgins has a chance to hit the open market, but I believe Marvin Harrison will be a hall of famer.

Dalton is not good and he was not good last year.

Bell is an upgrade at the position, but Chinn wasn't the issue.

Sanders is a good pickup, but his role is the replace CMC not Foreman was a backup.

We switched formations and added a NT, that's good. But none of this falls in line with the idea of it being our best free agency of all time. That was your threshold.

 

If you remember correctly, foreman played better for the panthers than CMC. Yea its weird and CMC is the better player. Sanders is a true 3 down RB and instead of paying CMC 16 million, sanders is getting 6.2

Dalton out played winston whom resigned with iants for 8 million(lOLLololololol). Hes a vet thats won like 80 some games and doesnt upset the room like baker vs darnold. He knows hes a backup and owns it. Thats a improvement form a technical side.

Chinn is the better player, Bell is the better safety. That allows chinn to roam and be closer to the LOS. In fact that improves two spots. 

 Im still thinking this out and Im open to hearing which year was better. 

adam is a clear upgrade as well, of course that was after the DJ trade. Still as you look at the roster, ultra clear upgrades to RB, TE, and WR. Wasnt a NT role, but mcclain/roy wasnt in the plans to start I bet. 

I could also bring the mega coaching staff in this discussion too, but I feel the FA class is enough for the "best evar". 

If its not the best free agent class, please give your best.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Nobody is giving up a 4th rounder for a backup QB And anyone who needs a starter badly enough to where Bryce would then be their starter, is such a bad team that they're not giving up a pick likely to be about pick 105ish overall, instead of just dealing with a bad QB situation for a season and then drafting one in a loaded QB draft next year. I'm looking through all the teams right now and can't think of a single one that would be willing to part with anything better than a 6th rounder. Barring injuries (and excluding the Panthers), there look to be 10 teams who don't know with 100% certainty who their starting QB will be in 2027... Dolphins, Jets, Browns, Steelers, Vikings, Colts, Saints, Falcons, Cardinals, and Rams. Of those 10...  The Rams know it will be Stafford or Simpson.  The Saints more than likely will be sticking with Shough unless he takes a huge step backwards.  So neither are giving up any draft picks for Bryce right now, just wouldn't make sense for either. Down to 8 Given their current QB situation of having multiple QBs they already need to evaluate between this year, the Browns (Shedeur/Watson), Vikings (Kyler/JJ), Colts (Jones/Richardson/Leonard), and Falcons (Penix/Tua), wouldn't be giving up a 4th (or maybe any pick) to bring in another QB to muddy the waters even more. Down to 4 Dolphins just signed Willis and wouldn't want to bring in another small Alabama QB who has struggled after just dumping Tua instead of just rolling with Ewers as the backup.   That then leaves the Steelers, Cardinals, and Jets left as it's clear none of them have any idea who their 2027 could be as of right now.  But the Steelers would for sure rather just see what one of the 2 QB's they drafted in the last 2 drafts could become than give up a mid round pick for Bryce.  Same goes for the Cardinals in taking Beck this past weekend. The Jets would be the most likely team to even consider taking him on, but I think it seems very apparent right now given them rolling with Geno and now talk of bringing in Wilson to be his backup, they're punting on QB this year to draft someone next year, so why give up even a mid round pick for Bryce?

      Where panthers draft ranked against Big Boards in 2023

      Honestly I am not sure Pickett couldn’t step in for him. But I don’t see a clear easy upgrade and we are not KC with Alex Smith we are a team that hadn’t done poo for almost ten years and just made the playoffs. And looked good in the game. That stadium atmosphere on that day…. you know Tepper ate that poo up. Not one drink has been thrown in a while.  You had better make sure if you replaced him after that that you had a sure fire upgrade.

      Makes sense. If Bryce is ass this year, we are probably drafting our new QB next draft and sitting him behind Bryce for a year
