Panthers interested in Jason Campbell

Nothing says "faith in Matt Moore" and wanting to make sure he's not looking over his shoulder than bringing in a young guy that's been a starter for several years elsewhere.

This would be a very stupid move, so I fully expect it to happen.

I don't know. I mean, assuming they still want Moore to start, is there a better option for a backup quarterback out there?

lol why do people hate Jason Campbell so much?

I can understand the "not giving Moore a fair shot" sentiment, but other than that, what the hell?

He hasn't exactly had a great supporting cast around him during his career, and his owner is as loony as Daffy Duck...

I don't think anyone hates him, I think people hate the idea of giving up picks for him. Every team listed there(aside from the unknown) has a higher pick than the Panthers. Also: the Browns could be interested as well and they have three 3rd round picks. Have to remember QB value is high for an experienced starter. I can see him going for a 3rd to some of the dumber GM's.

Hell, Whitehurst went to Seattle for a damn 3rd round pick, and switched 2nds(allowing the Chargers to move up like 20 spots.)

It would be a very SMART move.

Just because you have faith in a QB does not mean that you do not have a solid and able back-up. Doing THAT would be a stupid move.

Agree 100%

Hunter Cantwell is our #2 QB right now. That's not a typo. If Moore doesn't play well or gets hurt, we're in a bad baaaad way as it stands. I'd also really like for our next QB to actually have some competition.

Washington will trade him for (much) less than his tender amount.

I've never seen a QB with at times such lackluster play be so fervently defended by those in the media. Well since maybe delhomme, but that's only really the local media

It's not his fault! Things are hurting his development that are out of his control! *smooch smooch*

Switching offensive coordinators doesn't keep you from completing 4-yard out routes.

He must be the nicest guy in the world.

You don't trade for Campbell to make him a backup. This will be a disaster with half of Panthers fans wanting Moore to start and the other wanting Campbell to start. The first bad game that Moore has, the calls for Campbell to start will become overwhelming even faster than Moore over Delhomme last year. The talent level and age between Moore and Campbell is very similar and that's not what you want when a guy is finally getting a chance to start.

I do want another quarterback, but I'd like some veteran quarterback that isn't going to threaten Moore.

He threw for more yards and had a higher completion percentage than McNabb last year. Granted, I'm sure he had more attempts as well (probably due to the Redskins eternally playing from behind).

Take the statements that are being made about him...

- "The team around him is bad; it's not his fault"

- "He was a high pick, so he's got to be good"

- "He's been through different systems"

- "He just hasn't been handled properly"

- "A change of scenery will make him better"

- "Competition at quarterback is a good thing"

...then insert the name "David Carr" in place of Campbell's name, go back three years, find the Huddle and see if anything sounds familiar.

Campbell isn't the same QB as Carr, but he's far from issue free.

And yeah, I do find it disturbing that the arguments for bringing him here are essentially the same ones used before.

      From what I gather, sure it allows you more room in that you can manipulate the cap more due to smaller prorated amounts to fit salaries in, but for cap purposes, you're still on the hook for the money at the end of the day.    "ChatGPT You said: What are the advantages for NFL teams to sign larger signing bonuses? ChatGPT said: NFL teams often use large signing bonuses as a strategic tool in contracts. While they cost real cash up front, they offer several advantages, especially when it comes to salary cap management, player retention, and negotiation leverage. Here's a breakdown of the benefits: ✅ 1. Salary Cap Flexibility Signing bonuses are prorated over the life of the contract (up to 5 years) for salary cap purposes. This allows teams to spread out the cap hit, even if the player receives the money immediately. Example: A $20M signing bonus on a 4-year deal counts only $5M/year against the cap. ✅ 2. Attracting Top Talent Players love signing bonuses because they're guaranteed money paid up front. Offering a bigger signing bonus can sweeten the deal without inflating yearly salaries. ✅ 3. Front-Loading Real Cash, Not Cap Teams with strong cash flow can pay big bonuses now while minimizing the immediate cap hit. Useful for teams trying to build around rookie QB contracts or with flexible cash budgets. ✅ 4. Locking in Key Players Larger bonuses make it harder for a player to be released early due to dead cap consequences. This can create more job security for the player and roster continuity for the team. ✅ 5. Leverage in Restructures Big signing bonuses create future cap hits via proration. Teams can later restructure deals (e.g., convert salary to bonus) to create even more cap space. ✅ 6. Competitive Edge In free agency, a team offering more guaranteed cash up front often wins the bidding war, even if the total contract value is lower than another team's. ⚠️ Key Caveat: Large signing bonuses increase dead cap risk if the player is cut or traded early."   I think that roster bonuses can be a useful tool if you're trying to keep players in by manipulating numbers and spreading the hit over time, but I don't think that it's something that you want to use unless it's "necessary." I don't know that you want to get into signing rookies on roster bonuses, as the bust rate is relatively high.

      not even if that team in New Orleans disbands before the first game.  Saw one 2026 mock that had them drafting first next year.
