We need breakaway speed. Jamo will make Bryce happy, trust me on this.

Bryce and Jamo are meant to be together. No other receivers matters for the Panthers in the trading market.

Its a special connection, the Bama connection so the sooner you realized this, the better off you be. Make it happen Fitter!!!!

Firstly, the kid has a hard time holding onto NFL passes right now. Secondly they have him in a rookie contract with a few years left on it, why would they give up on him already?

Yeah I’ve already told him I doubt the Lions trade him away. They are a playoff team and working on getting him involved in their offense. If he catches on, that offense could be deadly with St Brown, LaPorta, and Gibbs. They may trade away picks for a player, but I don’t think they are trading away talent at this point.

Here are the top WR's scheduled to hit the market in 2024 Free Agency

Tee Higgins, Mike Evans, Calvin Ridley, Michael Pittman, Marquise Brown, Curtis Samuel, Gabe Davis, Michael Thomas, Darnell Mooney.

Of them, right away, Mooney, Thomas, Davis, Samuel can be crossed off as they're not #1's (I'd actually love to get Samuel, but he's not the #1 that we need).

Pittman and Ridley won't hit the market, I'm quite confident both will be back with the Colts and Jags respectfully.

Evans, while still has game left to him, isn't the type of #1 we need to give Bryce, he's more of a big possession WR, which we have in Thielen.  We need a quick twitch, fast, outside #1 and that's just not Evans game at this point in his career.  Plus, if he leaves TB, it will be to go to a contender, not just the highest bidder (and that won't be us).

Brown MIGHT fit that definition, but personally, I'm just not sold on him being worth it, I think he's more of a good #2, not a #1.

That leaves Higgins as the only legitimate target among the players we know will be available this offseason.  Odds are he doesn't hit the open market either, he will more than likely be tagged and traded.

The other option is for us to go after a player like Tyreek or AJ Brown in recent years, guys who are due a new contract but their team doesn't want to give them one.  Players who might fall into that category would be someone like DK or maybe Devonta Smith, but those are total guesses and it could be anyone, nobody expected Tyreek to be moved.

If we're going to trade for Higgins or a yet to be known available WR, we'll need either a 1st round pick or an elite player at a different position.

That's Burns or our 2025 First, and I'm not trading that 2025 First to pay out a big money contract for a WR, that wouldn't be smart when we could likely just wait the year and take a WR in the Top 10 or 15 and have them locked in on a rookie contract.

So whether it comes down to trading Burns for the WR or trading him for the picks that we'd then flip for the WR just depends on who is available, who we target, and what those teams want, but all roads point to Burns being the only legitimate asset to get that #1 WR for Bryce next year.

And I don't know about you guys, but if it's Burns or a #1 WR to help Bryce's development, then it's not even a discussion.

I really like Burns but if we can somehow use him to obtain a much needed #1 WR, so be it.

      this     I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who will run up their blood pressure to get to the grocery store 30 seconds faster or are racing to get to work like it won’t be there at 8:02.   The only thing I’ve ever done that I think added more years to my life besides quitting smoking, was to learn to go with the flow behind the wheel.

      The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
