(By Charles Chandler, [email protected]) Help should be on the way soon for Panthers receiver Steve Smith, says former Dallas Cowboys scouting guru Gil Brandt.p/Brandt, now a draft analyst for a href=http://NFL.com target=_newNFL.com/a, said he has seen Carolina general manager Marty Hurney and coach John Fox frequently at recent pro day workouts for draft prospects and expects them to select a wide receiver with their opening pick, the 48supth/sup overall selection midway through Round 2.

Or we could just use that pick on Brandon Marshall. Hell if it turns out to be a 1 year rental and we make it deep into the playoffs its worth that to me. Kalil is the only 2nd round success we have had since Spoon (R. Marshall is on the fringe of being consider a success). Would most likely be pissed away anyway.

Doubt we would get him for our 2nd.

Even if they were willing to take a 2nd, I would guarantee that someone with a higher 2nd would be in the mix.

I would trade our 2nd next year as well but not unless he had signed a resonable contract extension. I think the money is what it all boils down too. We aren't going to pay him what he deserves (6 or 7 a year) let alone what he wants (10 mill).

that is the point, Carolina has made it known this season isn't about attempting to "win now"....it is a year for young guys to get experience and play so the team knows who is worth keeping when they are ready to "win now".

marshall could fit into that situation pretty well. find out if he is worth the hassle. if he is than work to keep him around/happy. put the right structure around him like shanny was able to do to keep both marshall and cutler focused (which was pretty much the opposite of what that piss ant mckid did).

i know he'll probably be looking for a high $$ contract but if you could arrange something like what the bears did with peppers deal where you have an out after the first year if he doesn't produce then it would/could be a good thing.

I agree, and good idea about his contract. If Hurney and Co. wanted him they would put together something protective and agreeable for both sides. I'd give 2 2nd rounders to have Marshall and Smitty on the field together. Smith, Marshall, Williams, Stewart, thats got potential of epic proportions.

      Adam Schefter: Panthers getting trade calls for Andy Dalton

      By strato · Posted

      To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. .

      I’VE FOUND OUR WR3 (Rashid Shaheed)

      By Car123 · Posted

      The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
