Fields is destined for Vegas or a sleeper team. ATL and PIT aren’t happening. 

I think the actual interest in Fields is going to be very low until after free agency and maybe the draft. That is when you will see teams that didn't position themselves as well as they had hoped start to get desperate.

Fields is definitely one amazing runner and could be a great threat if he would just improve his passing skills. After this much time I doubt it happens but I do think he is better than Ridder and would definitely be an upgrade. Not for any break the bank deal though as I just dont think Fields has proven to be some top QB worthy of top QB money.

I would take Fields honestly if we could get him for a 4th.

 

Again it will never happen because we are set on making Bryce work.

I don't know if we're set on making Bryce work, but we're definitely set on giving him a fair shot this season with a new staff and (hopefully) upgraded roster.

Why rule out Pitt?  I think they could make it work if Tomlin wanted to.  Slash 2.0

I wouldn't rule him out, but the Steelers don't historically give up draft capital, much less before the draft has even started. The franchise is very conservative. That being said, I've heard that Fields is likely not going to have the market that he would like, and that the Bears are not going to get the compensation that they would like. If Chicago doesn't make a move before free agency, Fields may lose out in that QB game of musical chairs.

Ben Solak from The Ringer made the case for the Browns to trade for him, cutting bait from Deshaun.

Watson is a far better player than Fields. That makes little sense. If you want to bench Watson, just keep Flacco until Watson becomes cheap enough to cut.

Combination of their historical MO, Tomlin, Arthur Smith's preferences, and the rumors they want to give Pickett one more shot.  

I think that's who signs Tannehill as in-season insurance to Pickett and they'll end up in the QB hunt (maybe with us) come 2025.

Why don't you think PIT?  I saw where Tomlin was high on him and that Arthur Smith offense would work with him as QB.  

-never mind you answered this already.

      Joe Person: Panthers will let Cade Mays test the free agent market

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      If Mays has a market, which it seems he will, he's gone.  I think we bring back Nijman for too much money to be cautious at LT, Corbett comes back cheap since he's already said he wants to live in CLT, and Christensen eventually gets re-signed with the hopes he can be depth at some point.  Draft an OT, draft a C. The OL might be rough for stretches next year, but time to get some youth there to prepare for Bryce in 2027 or the next QB. I still think we compete for the division in 2026 and can go back to the playoffs unlike the oddsmakers in Vegas, but the *real* year is 2027 IMO. Either Bryce has proven it and he's the QB looking at his 2nd contract, or we have the ready-made team for the next rookie QB or Vet we trade for.

      The Panthers are going to have a lot more flexibility in free agency than it looks like at first glance. On paper, the cap space might seem tight, but there are several obvious restructure candidates that could easily free up significant room. Between converting base salaries into signing bonuses and spreading cap hits out over future years, Carolina could realistically clear $60–80 million in additional space if they wanted to be aggressive. That kind of flexibility means they’re not stuck. They can extend key young pieces, add help along the offensive line, upgrade the defense, and still be strategic about value signings. Letting Cade Mays test the market makes sense from a leverage standpoint. If he’s willing to come back on a team-friendly deal, great, continuity on the line matters. But if his market price climbs, the Panthers should absolutely explore upgrades. The point is, this front office isn’t boxed in. With cap maneuvering and smart structuring, they have the ability to be active players in free agency rather than sitting on the sidelines like we are used too.
