Part of me is excited to see who we sign but it would be better to take the year off, clean the ledger, accumulate draft capital, and allow Canales to develop who we have and start developing a culture. Maybe the players we had were just utilized incorrectly or not developed properly. An actual good coach may have taken this roster to 6-8 wins last year, there is just no way of knowing! 2025 you can open the checkbook.

Gotta be Raiders.  I just feel it

 

If not, they are drafting a QB and they will be down to QB5 at their pick. Not sure they bite there for Nix/Penix at #13.  If they go elsewhere and there's only 1 QB left of the top 6 remaining on the board in the second round, there's our trade down target.

I know Bryce is the plan but I would be happy with us drafting a QB in the 2nd or 3rd if we can accumulate more draft capital either by trading Burns and/or trading down from 33. 

As much as I would like that, it ain't happening.  Bryce is getting this year to prove himself.  No serious competition.   That's why I want to sign (FA or trade) a younger QB this year to compete next year after Dalton is gone.  Andy isn't in the long term plans and drafting a rookie next year isn't appealing.  We aren't cutting Bryce even in 2025, so the best thing to do if he doesn't drastically improve this year is give him legit competition for next season.

Yeah I agree with all of that for sure! My only other thought is that Bryce may have been fortunate to have survived this year from a physical standpoint, and there were over 60 starting QBs last year, partly because of injury. If we have another young QB in the wings that gets to jump in if Bryce gets hurt, and that QB does very well, we either have our new QB or at very least a tradable asset.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By csx · Posted

      I just dont get the worry over losing a practice squad player that just went undrafted. Everyone just made their selections. The chances of a team wanting to sign him to an active roster after not selecting him is very low.  If that interested they would have taken him late to evaluate in person. As far as I can tell two qbs were signed off another teams practice squad last season and they were both going in to their 5th season.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By frankw · Posted

      I enjoyed reading this thread and the usual banter that follows. The only silver lining I can identify right now is we do actually have a couple of young QB's behind him and we do have a nice roster on both sides of the ball built around the most important position. So if the team overall shows some promise but we still falter largely due to a lack of consistent passing output (again) hopefully the decision makers can be free to make the best decision for the team going forward after the conclusion of this upcoming season.

      The Carolina Huddle

      I don't really follow the team anymore due to a variety of reasons and consequently have largely stopped posting but I agree that this is a lovely website and community. This forum probably kept me around for years longer than I would've stuck otherwise because of how difficult it was to stop checking multiple times a day. Especially appreciate how lax the moderation tends to be compared to a lot of places, the crew here does a great job. Out of curiousity I decided to try making a new account (solely for testing purposes) to see what exactly is wrong with the sign up process. The issue seems to be that it never sends you an account verification email, thus making it impossible to complete registration. This is likely something to do with the email server upstream, hope it gets fixed. Also, lol
