This is going to be a rough year. Unless a miracle off-season happens, or Bryce turns into a super star, this team does not look like it will be competing for more than 5 wins. It would not shock me if the Panthers are picking first overall again next year.

As long as we actually do a team build correctly for once, and stop trying to band-aid everything, I'm ok with having the 1st again next year. I'd rather suffer 1 more year and have some direction and a plan than another 6 years of whatever the fug we've been doing.

I saw that if designated june cut it would save 17m in cap if we didnt mind the dead money.  Probably not worth it i dont think but maybe worth noting if they dont designate jackson as the june cut.

Yeah, best to pay him this year, in my humble opinion, because at least you get something for the dead money, and june cut him in 2025.  It was a strange contract.

Yup, too many holes to be cutting/restructuring starters already under contract..  We are at League average in cap space.  I don't understand rush to create a bunch of cap space this year when all that will do is add to cap overhead in future years and/or more dead cap. Tepper will be patient this year, take advantage of it.  Clean up the books as much as possible without adversely impacting future years.

If I'm not mistaken, someone trading for Donte would only be on the hook for 4-5 million.  We get the 10mil dead cap hit.  That doesn't seem too extravagant for an above average vet corner.  How many cbs in this draft will step in and be better right now.  If I'm a team that wants to win right now, I may have some interest.

Let me take a look at that.

 

Nope, looks like he has a pretty decent sized salary.

Only if we trade him before paying his roster bonus. 
 

If I were GM, I’d eat the $4mil roster bonus. Then I’d seek a trade for something mid-roundish or player for player. Basically, I’d rather buy a draft pick for $4mil in a rebuilding year than release him for nothing to save cap.

Yea, its truly not bad. I am puzzled by this and Im no djax fan. Just makes another hole on a team with the most of them. 

Normally when this happens they feel a player on the roster is ready and cheaper. So that means be ready for Dicaprio Bootle or D'Shawn Jamison to start next year. Plus it moves CB to 2nd or 3rd on needs/wants. 

Just starter-wise panthers need WR, WR, TE, DT, DE, NT, MLB(im counting on shaq being cut too), #2 CB, NB. * maybe staters at LG, RG, C, LT, RT, QB, RB * AND depth at every single spot, EVERY SPOT. This just adds to the pile and he was a leader too. Odd and dont agree.

Yeah but that is also the difference between real money and "make believe money."

And if that’s the case, and Bryce doesn’t show flashes on a game by game basis, you have to go QB at 1. So for Bryce’s sake, he better hope we’re picking somewhere in the 5-15 range. Atleast give the team something to think about

      Bleacher report not buying Panthers’ hype

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Well, everyone is a critic.  not much meat on the bone here in analysis but if the team needs motivation … lol   I have also heard a lot of talking head or two say that ‘Young is not in the same class as most of these teams and that in 12 of the 17 games he is the lesser QB   BR write up below  2025 record: 8-9 Last season, the Carolina Panthers made the playoffs for the first time since 2017. They won the division. Bryce Young made strides, throwing for 3,011 yards, 23 touchdowns and 11 interceptions with a 63.6 percent completion rate. Wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan won the 2025 Offensive Rookie of the Year award. In free agency, the Panthers signed edge-rusher Jaelan Phillips and linebacker Devin Lloyd to bolster their middling defense. Carolina can win with complementary football if the offense continues to trend in the right direction. In 2026, Carolina will play the AFC North and NFC North on a first-place schedule, which includes matchups against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Philadelphia Eagles, Chicago Bears, Denver Broncos, and the Seattle Seahawks. The club will have a much tougher 17-game slate than it had last year, which may lead to regression. The Panthers aren't on the same level as the league's top teams. We'll see the gap between them and division-winning clubs from the previous season. 2026 projection: 6-11

      Panthers 2026 schedule

      By strato · Posted

      If someone key is hurt and your bye week helps you by not forcing you to play without them, it is at a good time.  No way to know about that ahead of time.   I would concede that with 17 games and let’s say you are playoff bound, you would love to have it late

      Turk Wharton Neck Surgery

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Hate it for him personally and hope he recovers well. But honestly, reaching an injury settlement and moving on would probably be a best case scenario for the Panthers. This signing always felt like a desperate knee-jerk reaction to losing out on Milton Williams. Williams was a logical scheme fit while Wharton just wasn't. He's best used as a rotational interior pass rushing specialist in an even front. He's way too small to play the nose in a 3-4 and he lacks the length and juice to play the end. Healthy he's a nice roster piece in the right scheme at the right price but we overpaid him to play him in the wrong scheme. The signing just never made any sense to me and I said so at the time.
