Somehow, the Panthers have increased their salary cap to $29-30m.

After saving $15m for rookies and injury free agents, that leaves about $14-15m. 

I am not sleeping well with what we have at WR at the moment.  I think we need a free agent, and it seems the free agent WRs are getting deals in the $6m range.

I have a few names I am keeping an eye on, hoping the Panthers make a move before the draft so we can draft an edge at pick 39.  While I imagine it will be slow until Monday or so because everyone is at the Pro Days, I am expecting a move before the draft.  We are in position to trade for a free agent WR, or we could simply shop in the bargain bin.  There are some good names in it, mostly from LSU.

Chark, Landry, Beckham

Jarvis Landry was injured last year, but before that, he has been durable and consistent.  In nine years, he has averaged 866 yards. 

He is who I would sign.  He is coming off a "prove it" contract during which he was injured.  I think we could give him a 2 year deal.

I think we will extend Burns.

If we can't get a WR signed, sign a CB, ILB, and swing T

Random rant over.

I think we can all agree non of them are ideal targets for our WR#1 but they're all still free agents for a reason . They've all struggled with injury lately but have good talent/capability when healthy.

I'd gladly take Beckham or Chark, prefer Chark he's younger and probably cheaper than all 3 listed. 

Probably not trading for one with us being in a draft pick hole starting 2024 but if they do, I'd gladly take Hopkins or Jeudy.

We definitely need SOMEONE that's capable of explosive plays. Right now we might have 0 WRs capable of that. 

I'd pick one of those listed dudes and draft a WR in R2.

I'd obv love to see Chark or somehow pull off getting Hopkins come here but I still would love to see our defense bolstered with some veteran FA right now.....

Poona Ford DT, Clowney DE, Ingram DE/OLB, Floyd OLB, Ya-Sin CB, Peters CB, Callahan CB/nickel 

Sure you that front with guys that can still get in the backfield and great depth/starters at CB considering our CB1 n 2 are made of fn GLASS

Just have to remain patient. We may not see what our completed roster looks like come TC and roster cut time. We could always wait and trade for a WR sometime this summer before the season begins as well. Our coaching staff isn't going to panic they are going to wait and get the right guy just have to continue to trust that they know what they're doing. They've done an amazing job so far.

      Who is going to take a shot at Malik Willis

      By cranky · Posted

      So Willis had a good game against a poor defense and all of a sudden he is worth 50 million and is guaranteed to be better than Young. LOL I know he looked good in the 3 games he started, and I think he will have success long term, but anyone signing him up for a long term contract for 50 million is taking a huge risk.

      Is he really though? Rivera was past his prime and probably shouldn't have even started 2019 so his firing wasn't really unexpected or unwarranted. Rhule lasted two and a half years which was about one year too long in my opinion. Bringing him back that third year certainly wasn't impulsive and I would say Tepper was more patient than he should have been. Wilks finished out that third season and did pretty good but most everyone could see he really wasn't anything more than an intern HC. Bringing him back was not the long term answer so not bringing him back was the correct call. Hiring Reich was a mistake from the beginning and he recognized that fairly quickly. I am sure he knew he was going to catch a lot of sh*t for firing him so quickly ( and boy did he ) but it was absolutely the right thing to do given everything that was going on. The firing may have looked impulsive, but I think it was him recognizing he had royally f*ck up and just dealt with it instead of letting it fester.  That brings us to Canales. 2025 was only his second season and yet he delivered 8 wins and the NFC South title. And while that might not sound great, given the lack of talent and cap space they started with, it's a strong step in the right direction. I couldn't imagine Tepper not being pleased with their progress given the crap the Panthers' have been though under his ownership.
