Agree and my comment was why would he leave a sure thing if the money is comparable.  I don't think there will be a many teams that won't to pay him a big contract but I guess we'll have to wait and see.  

If say the Panthers are offering 2 million per, and then a team like the cheifs or bills or houston offer the same.

 

Where is he signing?

The scenario could also be the Panthers or Browns or Giants.  The Panthers can't continue to let every good player leave for draft picks.

They can and should when the situation dictates it's the right move. They have one bad RB contract they meed to eat, just blew a 2nd on a guy who they rave about and adding another expensive RB contract is a bad move. The other 2 moves dictate it's the right call and they need to pray that Brooks if legit and also being in another RB once they dump Sanders. Also maybe if they didn't blow so much on OGs it would be an option but given the state of the D and the already committed cap it's 100% the right move to not pay Hubbard.

The problem was never about getting picks for players, except Moore and that stupid trade, it's the people picking the players. That can also be addressed and improved.

A RB is not a core player for any team. The core is qb, DE, LT and ILB that runs the defense. When you get those in place you build out from there.

We have 2 good guards and a DL member that are making bank here and that's all. We still do not have the core in place.

On top of all that our cap is a mess and they still do not have the core in place.

A LOT of dead money comes off the books next season. There is a real opportunity to build this team now. Players will come, but yes the Panthers will have to overpay them. Need to get that DE (or two) in FA next season, draft BPA (non QB) and then draft a QB in 2026.

      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.
