“Carolina sniffing around on Jerry Jeudy”

The Broncos picked up his option already 

Yea I know, which is why I said I’m not sure what I suggested can be done, as I’m not sure if you can re-work that option year once it’s picked up.  But with a “normal contract” they would be able to pay down that final year as a bonus before the trade.

If that can’t be done here, then I have less than zero interest in him.  I’ll take a 2 year rental to see if it works at a sub $5 million cap hit next year, but to take that $13 Million on next year to do it is a complete non-starter for me.

Why bother? If we lose Sunday, and more than likely we will, we're not making the playoffs at 0-5. It's already Thursday, no trade will be made before Sunday. I swear, they're about set us back for years to come. 

Because the rest of the year is meant to help Bryce grow (unfortunately figuratively and not literally) and adding an elite WR would help do that.

However, Jeudy isn’t an elite WR, that’s just a different discussion.

we need a speed threat that can catch not another big wr

I wouldnt consider Jeudy a speed guy though.

Tbh, I don't think we need another WR at all.  I think this is just more scrambling and CYA moves to try to cover up Bryce's deficiencies and I don't think it's gonna make a difference.  What it is gonna do if things continue, is cost Reich and Fitt their jobs a lot faster than it would otherwise for doubling down.

if thats the case that is telling because A) this is the group of wr they assembled knowing they were drafting a rookie and B)so now they are going to get it right after whiffing in free agency?  The scouting dept is clearly in disarray and missing on pick after pick

How about Marshall Jr for Jeudy straight up?

NO

TMJ is off our books next year and Jeudy has $13 million guaranteed.

A TMJ trade that would make more sense is to work him into a deal for Higgins, pair him back up with his LSU teammates in Burrow and Chase.

Burns and TMJ for Higgins, a 1st, and like a 4th works for me

    • 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.
    • 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.
