There are a bunch of solid FA options next year. I wonder if that will cause the market price to drop a bit. Right now it’s at a high and we aren’t 100% sure how good he will be in a different system plus how XL and Mingo develop. I’d wait until the offseason personally…

Extending a player that hasn't played for us yet would be a very Panthers move.

Not quite. doing it again when it hasn't worked before, now THAT would be a panthers move. 

Not like it hasn't worked before. Who have we last signed or attached a year extra onto his contract before... oh... checks Sam Darnold Notes... oh dear god

Depends on his behavior, but Id for sure do it if Bryce was truly clicking with him.

It's just the WR market is insane and this guy had some huge baggage. 

But so does Carolina.........

Morgan should have seen enough for there to be talks. Soon or later the Panthers MUST stop having 50 million in dead cap and be able to sign a couple difference makers. I think its either 3 or 4 years in a row with 50 million in dead cap, just piss poor GMing.

 This is those radio talk guys that are the sports equivalent of shock jocks. Just engineering an argument to get eyes and ears. 

I’m not even listening to that. I know the answer and it is no. If he has a great year he will probably want to stick. If he leaves his great year attracts another guy that wants one.

No reason to extend him before the end of next season. 

1, he's looking to get paid, therefore he wants to perform well to maximize his pay day. 

2, is a waste of time to even think about at this time. 

So in other words don't extend him now wait until he balls out. Then pay him too dollar in the off-season after his big season.

 

Thank goodness some people aren't GM's in real life.

 

Extend him now we get him for fair value. This guy is clearly talented. He's going to ball out and we will have to overpay if we wait. When you bring in a talented WR you sign him right away.

It is fine to pay him a good contract but he needs to earn it. They have to pay somebody in ’25. He needs to fit and show he is that guy, in this offense. 

If he doesn’t, stick.. I know he is talented, but that would shift the perception of players, in regards to coming to Carolina. A great year for this guy probably means a great year for the team. A reversal of trajectory. Maybe another guy who is blocked but really good, gets another prove it deal. 

What do we know about him as far as holding up mentally physically over 17 games? Let’s find out.

      I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.

      This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.

      to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
