Jeudy’s cap number currently ranks 27th for WRs in 2024, and it will certainly drop lower after the next free agency cycle. 

It's still too much, if we're paying Jeudy $13 million next year, on top of having Thielen and Mingo, we're not going to be able to afford paying for another WR who is better than Jeudy to be our #1, and Jeudy is NOT a #1.

I think he's better than Mooney, but Jeudy just isn't a #1.

If we had a true #1 on the team, I wouldn't be as against paying Jeudy $13 million to be the #2.  But we don't and we can't afford to pay that to Jeudy and then still go out there and pay someone like a Higgins.

Who Frieken cares if he's not a top level 1. Get that in free agency, right now you at least need someone apart from Thielen that can at least win a route. Jeudy has shown he can beat man coverage, that alone makes him better than every receiver on this roster.

Cap doesn't matter. You guys talk about it like your budgeting for groceries, rent, and your utility bill. The cap keeps going up, we have tons of space this year and next. As long as the other compensation (picks and players) isn't too much, I would be all in on bringing JJ in.

I agree that Jeudy isn't a #1 WR, but the truth is we also need a #2.

But honestly, if they REALLY want to help Bryce they need to forget about trading for a WR and go sign/trade for some players who can actually keep him upright.

I know Austin Corbett is coming back after the bye, but we REALLY need another starting caliber guard so that Chandler Zavala won't ever see the field again this year. Not to mention some actual NFL-caliber depth.

Until the OL gets it's poo together our offense will continue to struggle; no run game, no pass protection and it won't matter if every WR we have magically develops into an All-Pro during the bye week if every time Bryce drops back to pass it's 2nd or 3rd & 12 and he has 0.8 seconds to throw the ball.

Lael Collins is still available. I don't know if he is any good anymore, but shoot anyone is better than our current turnstyle.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      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.
