They actually do have a smart FO that doesn't seem to make panic decisions. They aren't the Jets. They know that this can continue past Shanahan if need be.

I don't think they are likely to make this sort of move at all.

Except there have been lots of reports that it's a SB or bust season for Lynch as ownership hasn't been happy with the contracts he's given out because of what it's going to do to their cap situation in the next few years.

If they aren't at worst in the NFC Championship game again, he's 100% getting fired and there have been rumors that Shanahan, for as great as he's been, will end up being tied to Lynch's fate.

They have to make panic moves right now or it's going to cost them their jobs.  I'd be shocked if they don't trade for a WR before the deadline, whether it's one of our guys or someone like a Mike Williams who is clearly available, who knows, but they'll get someone.

The team would not look this God awful without all the injuries. I'm not saying it would be good.

Without the injuries they may have won 3 games total. We may not have gotten blown out so badly but that window has already closed.

Hubbard and Johnson are the only ones of value I would trade. Maybe Moton.

I think next year moton has a 40 million cap charge.....

 

thats the other kill shot with drafting poorly, theres no extra cap space to sign players that teams allowed to hit FA. One of my fav listens had a saying " teams do not allow good players to leave " rare cases like when the panthers let norwell hit FA, but they already paid top bucks to turner.

The other kicker it takes most FA one year to adapt to the new team. 

ugh..

How can you have no talent and no cap space???

TBH, I don't buy the Lynch rumors even a little bit. If anything, he has proven how adept he is at evaluating and acquiring talent(in free agency and through the draft).

IMO, Shanahan is likely the one to be staring at the hot seat.

The bigger issue is less money than this being a desirable spot in free agency outside just trying to get paid. I think we will dramatically struggle to make good FA additions here until we get this ship turned around. It's basically draft or bust.

Oh I absolutely buy the rumors as they've been handing out huge contracts lately and haven't won the SB yet on their QB's rookie deal and are somehow even worse this year (yes I know injuries play a factor).

Being great at evaluating talent only gets you so far, if you don't win the SB and are saddling yourself with serious cap issues in the very near future, it's not going to help a GM keep his job.

I think Lynch is in far more danger of being fired than Shanahan because of those contracts, far too much smoke about ownership being unhappy about the Williams and Aiyuk contracts for there to be no fire.

Just to add about FA passing on signing here, besides the losing. The QB is unknown. Think if youre a decent WR and carolina calls you up with a offer and you ask "who is the QB for 2025"........If carolinas plan to try BY again, LOLOLOLOLs. A rookie LOLOLLLLLLLLOOLOLs. There no cap space to sign a Qb besides vet min, LOLLOLOLOls. 

so they need a plan for QB and i doubt Drew Lock would get the FAs to came here....

 

No talent

No depth

No QB

No young talent

No cap space

Your Carolina Panthers!!!

This is literally the same thing thrown at the Saints for years and years but that GM soldiered on. 

Shanahan will bear the brunt of these failures because everyone with any sense can see that is the most talented roster in the NFL.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By strato · Posted

      I was watching a YouTube and it was said that scout and GM insider types were saying the NIL had killed rounds 4-7. I don’t know that I buy it, seems like it might for a year or maybe two but then those guys have to move on.  NCAA is apparently about to give 5 years of eligibility. It is gonna skew those entrants older maybe.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
