John Fox at Bama' Pro Day...

The speculation that John Kasay may be cut from the Carolina Panthers before the start of next season may be heating up. John Fox was at the Alabama Pro Day, along with Tom Coughlin and Rex Ryan. It's my belief that Fox was scouting projected 6th round pick, Leigh Tiffin (K). Leigh Tiffin is Alabama's most productive kicker in school history and was 2nd runner up for the Lou Groza award in 2008.

Now, there are several draftworthy prospects coming from Bama' this year, and it's possible we were scouting one of Bama's CB's, but I am thinking they are projected too high for our need. It seems kicker is the most logical choice.

Other noteable draft prospects:

Terrence Cody - NT - does not fit scheme, 1-2nd Round Proj

Rolando McClain - MLB - does not fit need, Top 15 pick

Mike Johnson - OG - not big enough need to warrant pick, 3rd Round Proj

Colin Peek - TE - No Need, 4-5th Round Proj

Kareem Jackson - CB - slight need - 1-2nd Round Proj.

Javier Arenas - CB/KR - slight need - 3rd Round Proj.

His profile from Alabama says he averaged 67.7 yards a kickoff with 2 touchbacks tying his career high. I didn't really pay much attention to him when they played... Can't tell a lot about his kicking power from his stats, just that he's accurate.

      Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.

      The Bryce Trade is Finally Complete. Who Won the Trade? Panthers vs Bears

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      Agreed. Also as soon as they received the top pick in the next draft it was over. Bears won that trade. Gave up a top overall pick got one the next year plus pick 9, a couple 2nds, and DJ Moore a proven young WR. Had their 2024 pick from us be in the late teens or later it would be more debatable IMO.

      Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.
