I mid-round pick that the Panthers will chose a player that will never contribute to the team.  Trading away good players for draft picks only work if you know how to draft....which the Panthers do not.  However, the Panthers probably have no choice if DJ no longer wants to be here.  Who can blame him.

Well that's it. You can't really fit him in the trading away good players bin because he isn't our player in the future. 10 games of a guy that doesn't want to be here anymore is what we'd be trading. 

Do I wish it had been a better outcome where we'd be keeping him? Yeah but if he is copping the 'tude you have to move him out, almost like Robbie got moved.

If we can swing a 4th for Diontae I'll be very pleasantly surprised. 5th seems like the best return given what other players have been going for.

Naw that’s just stupid it’s more about the need and necessity he’s younger than DA and DHop. He’s 28 just turned it 3 months ago, they’re basically both 32 with lots and lots of miles on both WR. It’s not the same, he actually would produce equivalent to each but I’d say a little more bc of how easily he gets open and his YAC ability and his lack of wear and tear.
He's worth a three for Dallas to be competitive in their own division and the NFC. He’s worth a 3 if you’re old and rich and want to see success for your team before you have to leave this earth. He’s worth a three if you’re San Fran a stacked team who’s down a sharp route running WR that could help them get back to the big game. It’s all about necessity who wants to be able to compete with the top teams as of right now you’re going to have to overpay for that final piece, happens all the time.

Nice presentation bad logic

Well, when you are talking about Jerry Jones, are you really going to play the logic card?  We shall see--and it is a long shot but we who stick our necks out get that there will always be criticism from safe zones--but Jones is going to be desperate and there are few WRs he can pursue who are on the block, have Johnson's skills, and low salary.  I can't imagine any other WR right now checking those boxes.  Now, since he went all in with some contracts, he is cap strapped, and at 3-4, he is desperate.  Would a third rounder be a lot?  Yes--a ton--but any negotiator looks at the situation and if Jerry comes shopping, he will pay a premium price--Morgan will know what is in the pot and what cards Jones is holding.   Comparing this deal to other deals is discounting the situation.  If I am Jones, I would give up a third to save a season in which I am otherwise fully invested.

So basically, whatever we get for him is the value we got for Donte Jackson. 

I could live with trading Donte Jackson for a 3rd. There is just going to have to be a team desperate enough to give up a 3rd for him. 

And that team is Dallas.

Seriously--there are other teams who could take a shot at him.  LA Chargers are in the mix, and someone mentioned Detroit---that is a good option as well.  Detroit does not have the fire power to beat KC now, but Johnson would put them in the conversation.  Washington is another possibility.  I am not thinking we get more than a fourth or fifth in these scenarios.

Another idea someone mentioned was that Jones packages a deal for Hubbard and Johnson.  If he talks to their agents and learns that he could sign them both to extensions/new contracts, then if I were Jones, that is what I would do.

Gonna be interesting.

I wish you were right and the GM for that matter.  We got absolutely nothing for him basically.  Sad

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!

      Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.

      Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.
