ok, Carolina is getting young....and they are only gonna replace the spots through the draft. No quality FAs imo, just guys to patch a hole for a year.

Now, Jake is gone.

If Rhys is gone then I assume Kasay is coming....

That removes the 2 men that keep Smitty in check and that he legitimately liked on the team. Smitty will not want to be on a team getting young and looking to rebuild the next couple drafts

this imo will likely be Smitty's last season in Carolina....we better enjoy it. Only hope is for Moore to lead Carolina to the playoffs......but that would keep Fox here and this year isn't being planned out for success to be expected.

Are you kidding. After Moore came in last season Smitty looked like his old self again. Smitty gonna make Moore into a Pro Bowl. Watch and see.

Go Panthers

i don't like the sound of that

I don't either. I don't like the fact I think a Kasay cut is coming b/c Jake/Kasay were Smith's rock in Carolina. Kept him as reasonable as he could be.

I don't like the way top tier athletes act during the tail end of there career on teams looking to rebuild.

I don't want it to happen......but you gotta think it is a reasonable thought

I can see it if they get ALOT for him, however then they are leaving Moore out to die. Jake would've been out of NFL long ago if not for Smith.

No trade for Smith should be done unless it includes getting someone like Brandon Marshall and a first.

Yeah, with no defense the offense is going to have a much tougher year next season. The team by all accounts, is taking a step back this year in order to make a move the next few.......that happens and Moore/Smitty can't control that.

Just trying to have a discussion.....

so it is dumb to think about an aging Smith wanting off a team? A team that might not have either of his two friends remaining and a brand new coach after this season?

No defense? what are you talking about?

We lost one player that really mattered in Peppers but we have 2+ capable players ready to take the reigns. Damion Lewis might be a loss but he was just average..

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
