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

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Winning ain't gonna make my eyes lie to me. Context matters, and it will always matter in the game of football.

      That TD pass to Legette against Miami. Elite. The play where Bryce rolls right to buy time until Tet can reverse field.  Bryce pumps as multiple defenders close in.  He barely gets it away before he takes a big time hit.  Beautiful off platform throw and great catch by Tet.   The second TD to Tet against Dallas where Bryce dips and turns his shoulder in to evade the pass rusher.  Resets and finds Tet in the end zone. Dude embodies the Keep Pounding mantra.
