Bare min you need to sign a guy getting 900,000+ to replace. Each was already paid, so its like buying takeout and throwing it away to go to the grocery store. 

Should have kept both and even djax and cut them after this year. Boz can play OG and backup C. Hurst can be a #2(if his injuries are over). Djax played the lead CB role after horn went down.

Bad beginning to Morgans era. 

You are getting emotionally connected to players of little significance.

Hurst was fuging HORRIBLE. Literally the worst TE on the roster. Bozeman was consistently one of our bottom two OL every week in the scheme we were running(similar to this year).

And Jackson was a good player but the future after that Achilles is probably a little bleak. He was overpaid for what we got in the end, although mainly due to injuries.

I don't mind moving on. How in the world Thomas made it I will never be able to explain.

If we struggled schematically in what we were runningast year, he would struggle this year too. He is a square peg. It just is what it is.

Moving him around isn't going to change that.

That's true, he still can fill backup C and LG role. But they are paying him to leave. Im a value nut and that kills me. I don't feel some UDFA or min FA can offer what boz has even if its bad fit.

Itty, bitty cap savings, little purchasing power in FA due to Burns and only six draft picks, yet we are creating more holes.   I get the roster needs a make over, but if we keep cutting able bodied guys at even fringe starter quality and absorbing 99% of their cap hit just to be anywhere but here, then we are tanking.  There's no question about it.  What a fugged up year to tank.

Lol at the PSL holders who got their ticket prices jacked up to watch the 2024 tank show.

Not trying to be insensitive to those that have chosen to pay for season tickets this year (mad respect because that’s real dedication) but you had to see the rebuild coming.  It’s been multiple years in the making.  I hardly think that the roster overhaul caught anyone by surprise, let alone those that pay to watch all of the home games.

I think that's the problem, he really can't fill a backup role. You can't have your backup come in and just get blasted on just about every play. That's how we ended up digging in the dumpster so often last season. 

Sadly, we aren't going to struggle to find a vet minimum player that is better than Bozeman. He just did not fit this scheme at all. It was PAINFULLY obvious when you saw him play under Wilks versus under Reich.

That's true as well. No question- boz and Hurst played awful. 

Thomas wins again, beyond me how HE gets to stay. I didn't even want him to resign for min after his rookie contract was up. Terrible and hated hated he got 3 years 18mill to prolong this "potential" BS. There was not much dead cap if cut either, more saving. He's got to have one of the best agents around. I dub him a "Morgan dawg" now....

As I said earlier today here, Thomas is the new Bersin. His ability to keep sticking around defies all logic and reasoning. 

No one will ever probably be able to explain that to the fanbase. I don't think there is any possibility that a real explanation exists.

Let's see if there's an actual rebuild.

You tag and trade Burns if you're rebuilding. You also don't trade for anyone.

I wish I knew the answer, he is so damn strong, aggressive and physical there has to be a way for him to work.   But thinking he is athletic enough to play zone is perplexing. 

Ekwonu ran a sub-5.0 40. 97th percentile for all offensive tackles. His athleticism is his best trait. He’ll be fine in any run-blocking scheme ever devised. It’s the other kind of blocking that gives him trouble.

Agree but to me Thomas is a greater mystery.  Bersin's ceiling was at best, a bottom of the roster guy and was always paid as such (as I recall but I may be incorrect on this).  Thomas' ceiling is at best a bottom of the roster guy that gets paid like he produces but doesn't.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Crixtala · Posted

      all the trades and using PFFs draft rankings and Gemini's analysis: This is a high-value mock draft that effectively uses trade-down strategies to rebuild the Carolina Panthers' defensive interior and add depth to a roster with multiple holes. By turning mid-round capital into a volume of picks, you've secured several "sliding" stars and developmental high-ceiling players. Based on 2026 PFF big board trends and player value, here is the analysis: Draft Grade: A- The Top Picks: Interior Dominance  * 19. Peter Woods (DT, Clemson): Getting Woods at 19 is a steal. Heading into the 2025 season, he was viewed as a potential top-5 talent. While his production dipped slightly, his 4.75 40-yard dash at 315 lbs is elite. He provides the Panthers with a versatile disruptor who can play 3-tech or slide outside.  * 63. Dontay Corleone (DT, Cincinnati): "The Godfather" is one of the best pure nose tackles in the class. Pairing him with Woods creates an immediate identity for the Panthers' front seven. PFF loves his "unmovable" anchor. Securing him at the end of Round 2 after trading down from 51/53 is excellent value. The Mid-Round Steals  * 83. Deontae Lawson (LB, Alabama): Lawson is a high-IQ "green dot" linebacker. Many scouts projected him as a late 1st or early 2nd rounder before an ACL injury in late 2024. Getting a 2-time Alabama captain at 83 to lead the defense is a massive win for culture and stability.  * 130. Drew Allar (QB, Penn State): This is the "high-upside lottery ticket" pick. Allar has prototypical size (6'5", 240 lbs) and a massive arm. His stock fell due to a 2025 ankle injury and inconsistency, but at 130, he’s a low-risk, high-reward backup/successor to Bryce Young if the former No. 1 pick continues to struggle. Trade Analysis & Late Round Value Your strategy of "tier-dropping" (trading 51 for 53/121 and 53 for 63/95) allowed you to stay in the same talent bracket while picking up Kevin Coleman Jr. (WR) and Genesis Smith (S).  * 168. Parker Brailsford (OC, Alabama): Great value for a technical center who can compete for a depth spot.  * 169. Tacario Davis (CB, Washington): At 6'4", he is a rare physical specimen at corner. PFF and other boards often have him as a Day 2 talent; getting him in the 5th round (via the 161 trade) is arguably your best value pick of the draft. Summary of Picks | Pick | Player | Position | School | Analysis | | 19 | Peter Woods | DT | Clemson | Elite traits; Top-10 ceiling. | | 63 | Dontay Corleone | DT | Cincinnati | Best run stuffer in the class. | | 83 | Deontae Lawson | LB | Alabama | Vocal leader; sliding due to injury. | | 121 | Kevin Coleman Jr. | WR | Missouri | Speed threat to complement the room. | | 130 | Drew Allar | QB | Penn State | High-ceiling developmental passer. | | 169 | Tacario Davis | CB | Washington | Massive reach/length for a late flyer. | Final Verdict You addressed the trenches aggressively and took advantage of "injury discounts" on Lawson and Allar. The only minor critique is that the roster still feels thin at Edge (until the 211 pick), but the sheer volume of talent added to the interior DL and Secondary compensates for it.
