I like Hubbard. I'd prefer to keep him but not at max value. On the idea of trading him I just don't know what we would get that would make it some sort of must make deal. There have been some good players right now going for 3rd round picks at best. I want more picks too but a mid to late rounder isn't moving the needle much. If that's all we're looking for then get something for Thielen and Johnson. This isn't a one draft solution situation regardless. It's going to take at least a few really solid drafts to even get close to where we need to be.

This team just spent a shi* ton of $ on the offense. Coming due are contracts on a starting quality NFl QB who still has a lot of gas in the tank,  a legit #1 WR, and a RB who has been killing it. 

Does anyone truly think we can retain all 3 while not murdering our cap #? Priority has to go Andy then Johnson then Chuba.

Will Andy require ‘please don’t go’ type money? He won’t want a rental contract. Someone will offer him 3 years for a lot of $. Promise you. This has been a showcase year for him.   Can we beat that if we’re tied to the other 2? 

I love Chuba but once Brooks (hopefully) starts getting some snaps, his time is limited. I LOVE how he has developed. You take a second + a defensive starter (if a team is that desperate) and don’t look back. 

Bryce cap hit in ‘25 is $10 million. In ‘26 it’s $12 million. We HAVE to find a team willing to eat that. 

Morgan and co are in a tight spot.

Eh I think we should come to the realization that Andy Dalton is not that coveted. He's certainly better than Bryce Young but he's a boom or bust aging veteran. If he wants big money then he can show himself out.

I also tend to lean toward the conclusion that the huddle is overrating Johnson to a degree. The Steelers are doing just fine without him.

Who in the world is giving us a 2nd and a player for a running back that has yet to add a 1k rushing season to his resume and is due his first big contract?

It's as good a time as any for us as Panthers fans to be as realistic as possible about the players on our roster no matter how much we like them.

Imagine thinking Chuba is worth a 2nd+ on the trade market or that he will get a 5 year 60m contract on the open market.....lol

Chuba is probably worth a 4th or 5th and he will be had for like 6-7 mil a year.

Am I the only one here that thinks we should see if Brooks can even play in the NFL before we ship Chuba off lol?

yea man. A lot of people are assuming a dude with limited college snaps coming off an ACL is going to be good enough for us to trade away the engine of our offense.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.

      The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
