Someone said we are paying his bonus so it rolls 4 million in cap to 2025. 
 

This is why you can’t react to trade parameters until the dust settles and all the details come out. Its never cut and dry trade x for y.

Wow. Panthers are basically eating $3.2 million to move up 10-15 spots in the fifth round. And it seems telling that nobody else in the league wanted to top that offer when Johnson's basically making the minimum the rest of the way

This team won't win five games the rest of the decade. Not in a season, I mean they won't win five games in the next seven seasons combined.

No other sports team gives up its best players for free, drafts worse, or spends more cap room to be this bad. I'd argue no sports team has ever been the worst in the world at all three, other than this one.

Makes me glad I root for another team.

New Ravens wide receiver Diontae Johnson is a very cheap acquisition in Baltimore.

The Panthers are paying most of Johnson’s remaining salary in the deal, and the Ravens will only have to pay Johnson about $625,000, according to Jeff Zrebiec of TheAthletic.com.

The trade was Johnson and the Panthers’ sixth-round pick for the Ravens’ fifth-round pick. So the Panthers are going to pay more than $3 million in cash and cap space and give Johnson away just to move up maybe 15 spots in the middle of Day 3 of the draft.

 

They might not be pay much but we gained $4 million.

This is clearly a "Bryce is done in Carolina" move if I've ever seen one.

Trading Diontae for a fourth or more (what he's worth at the least) would be acquiring assets as we're in a hard place. However, trading him for absolutely nothing of value while you have half a season left with a floundering rookie quarterback? Yeah, they're done with Bryce.

If Diontae is healthy, and plays up to his potential, he's a number one receiver.

If that turns out to be accurate, and related, it is worth it. Him looming on the sidelines as an option is the biggest hinderance to making progress and will be until it is addressed.

This makes me think Morgan's signing him to a big extension. It makes sense -- think about it; whatever the rest of the world would consider retarded, the Panthers do.

Personally, let's deal No. 1 overall to the Jets for a third and a sixth in 2028.

We sucked at drafting with Rhule Fitterer and so far Morgan too. One common thread remains. Tepper is involved and hands on in the process. Why else keep the scouts through all this league worst suck?

I got no clue how any of these scouts are able to keep jobs. It's one of those jobs were your work is remembered by all and all those reports are kept for future moves. It's trash. Dont you remember them either trading or signing for the first few picks form the jags draft class- cj Henderson, K'Lavon Chaisson, and Laviska Shenault. It's not like they can focus on their trash ass picks, but go after another teams who can not draft either.....

our scouts are team killers

You guys really think the scouts are making the decisions? 

I don't. I think you are worrying about the wrong poo there. It is much more the coaching turnover and the constant tweaking of what they want from one year to the next.

The guy from last year's draft and staff not being the favorite of the new staff. The changing of coordinators nearly annually. A different OL coach. That sort of thing if you ask me. Which you didn't. 

And we had that going on with GM from Rhule then to Fitterer, too.

The process is led heavily by analytics which was introduced when Tepper bought the team. Which is when we went from mediocre to decent drafts to absolute dogshit.

As for the scouts. My feeling on it is if they are still here making money they must be just telling Tepper what he wants to hear. Which is certainly a necessary prerequisite to working for the Carolina Panthers. Those who don't fall in line peace out. Hence the high turnover.

    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight 
    • There's a reason Greg Maddux was never a flamethrower but still one of the most feared pitchers of all time, because accuracy beats velocity far more often then vice versa. Once you exceed a certain minimum capability, you can thrive with extreme traits elsewhere, its not strictly about power in any sport but powerlifting.
