Panthers Add Four More Under Contract

The Panthers took care of a little housekeeping, getting their four exclusive-rights free agents signed.

WRs Kenny Moore and Charly Martin, DT Nick Hayden and LB Jordan Senn signed their one-year deals late last week. Their contracts had expired after last season, but they weren't able to negotiate with other teams.

The Panthers have another two weeks and change to worry about their own restricted free agents, as the deadline for RFAs to sign offer sheets is April 15.

CBs Richard Marshall and C.J. Wilson are staying away from offseason workouts, but the rest are either working out here or are otherwise accounted for (rehabbing injuries).

I'm sorry but why are we still holding on to nick haydon, this is the one guy that I've seen that just has panned out at all. He was getting pushed around when he had all the weight to play inside and then when he lost the weight to meet Meeks system he was getting pushed around even more. He was one player I just knew last year was going to get cut and some how it never happend.

Lol, I don't think he makes the team this year as he will get caught up in the numbers game, but Hayden is not as bad as many on here try to make out. What I think a lot of people fail to realize, or truly understand its effects if they do realize, is that he cut weight in order to better fit into Meeks' speedy UT role, but instead was forced to play out of position at NT. And if you really paid attention, most of his problems were in the first game or two of preseason, but he got better as the season went along.

Don't get me wrong, he's completely average, and will probably never be more than a backup rotational player. But, IMO, the hate he gets is a tad unwarranted.

      Big changes coming

      I'd like to see the gameday chats come back, especially if you can get it mobile compatible and like those support chats that stay on the screen even when you move around the site. We could use them during CLTFC and Hornets games now too.

      There's a lot of truth here, but at the same time, that one year of production we might be paying for is actually paying for a development arc. And a lot of players have those. QB is the most complicated position in sports, hands down.  I'm not saying Bryce will make it past the hump this year, the odds are stacked against him just like any QB in the league that isn't already considered an elite player (and there are only about 5-8 of those at most). Arcs happen, and slow arcs happen, too. Sam Darnold seemed a wash up for the Jets and a horrible mistake. He was better with us, but still couldn't carry a bad team on his shoulders (or bad coaching). He went to Minnesota and got a shot under better coaching with more mature eyes to see the field. Something sparked and then he took his team to the Super Bowl and brought home a ring. Baker Mayfield had a similar arc, and may yet hit the big game. Hell, locally, Jake Delhomme had one. Or Bryce could flutter back down having already hit his peak. It happens. More often than any of us want to admit. We've paid for a full development arc for Bryce, but we've had it on rookie deal rates and that's been a savings that has let us build out the rest of the team, which was really needed. Maybe we end up diving back into the QB pool in the first round next season. Might be the guy, might not.  But he'll be set up with a better team that Bryce was when he started. Or maybe, just maybe, Bryce adds another seven TDs and loses four INTs on the season. Grabs three more wins and maybe a playoff win, maybe two. It's not completely impossible and that'd be great for the team and for him.  We're just going to have to tune in and see how it plays out. Probably won't be boring.

      I am holding out hope for a miraculous run this season. But you know the narrative around him is peak delusional when the Panthers social team can post this without even a hint of irony. Four years and almost 50 games into his career he still looks like he's never set foot in the weight room. Really?
