If the Panthers are looking a number two reciever behind Steve Smith. Why are they not going after Brandon Marshal ? They have been looking a number 2 for about what 5 years now. WTF. This Franchise just will not pay the big money. " we will see how long Stewart and Williams stays.

hopefully Marshall doesn't get a 1st round offer this year and we get him with next years.. or a 2nd and add another..

Marshall will require a big contract. #1 receivers will do that. Since we are in need of a #1 receiver, I don't follow the logic on how we will get around this besides paying for mediocre talent and great character...

plus, he's killed a few people...

Bottem line is that it takes quite a while to develop a great reciever, even Steve Smith. There is a top 5 reciever available in Marshall and he is worth a 1st round pick. At least a 2nd and 3rd. Why waist 2 years developing a receiver that may or may not prodice(In Carolina's case never produces) when you can have one right now?

End of Line.

broncos have said that they don't want anything less than a top 20 pick in this years draft. not sure we can even trade up to that without giving up quite a few picks.

for more discussion....just find one of the other threads on this dead horse topic.

dont get me wrong, I'd love to have Marshall play for the Panthers. BUT, character issues, money(which paying him huge money right before the possible lockout would and will be a very dumb idea), and as a rookie develops this season, we can sign a FA WR next year AND Jarrett is a FA. there are many good young recievers that are already developed enough to be a #2/#1 WR in the future in FA next year...like James Jones who in my opinion is going to be a great WR.

EDIT: another thing, Sidney Rice is a FA next year. I believe he will sign a long term contract with the Vikings, which would put Bernard Berrian on the trade block. Berrian could possibly be had for a 4th round pick.

not really!!!

I still think Marshall will be a Seahawk. The Holmes deal to the Jets will help that along as well. Denver will fold between tonight and next Thursday and there's no way they get a first for him

      Smitty on TMac

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      I think everyone says Mike Evans because of size, but really they have different strengths and play styles.  Tmac is better on intermediate routes and not nearly as good at contested catches.

      Give Legette another season?

      At this point, it is criminal to go into the 2026 training camp/OTA's with XL penciled in as a #2 WR. The team must upgrade, either through free agency or the draft. If he cannot give 100% effort on significantly less snaps as a #4-6 WR(players like Tremayne have done that consistently) then I don't think you have a player worth rostering beyond the trade deadline. Offensively, we eventually have to upgrade to an NFL starting caliber C. It's been almost the length of time from Gross to Ikey since Kalil retired and we have below average to terrible C play. Love Mays as a BC-esque utility backup but he will never be an above average long term starting C.  The TE room is one of the worst in the NFL but it's a low usage position in this offense, so the investments are likely to be small, if any. I would never expect to see an elite TE in a Dave Canales offense. 100% agree on OL depth. We actually aren't bad there but BC will be gone, Mays is a UFA, Corbett is a UFA and Zavala has been both injured and bad. We have to bolster that depth again or resign guys like Mays and Corbett to keep that depth somewhat stable.

      Maxx Crosby is not happy

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Bingo. The dude is a baller no doubt and I'd love to have him in a vacuum but like you said he's gonna fetch a haul so the only teams it really makes sense for are teams with an overall good roster who they feel an edge rusher like Crosby would out them over the top in terms of competing for SBs. I'd be looking st teams like the Pats, Bucs, Ravens, Seahawks, etc. It wouldn't be shocking to see him moved. He may be more valuable to a rebuilding team in the form of the draft assets he'd fetch than he is on the field. He should still have several more good years in the tank at 28 but by the time the Raiders can reasonably expect to rebuild he's gonna be on the decline.
