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.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
