Maybe but to only move up about 10 spots?

It is what it is. We probably came to the market late(likely after this week's game), asked more than reasonable market value or just generally didn't read the room as quickly as we should have.

It's partly a franchise blunder and partly just the market dynamics. 

Of all the things to fret over with this franchise, this really isn't one of them, IMO.

Speaking of comp pics i dont know the formula but wouldnt if panthers let him play out this year he sign a nice contract wuth another team end of season wouldnt they get a 3 to 5th withiut having to give up anything?

Yes.

*But if he signed for like 3 years 66 million and the Panthers signed some player at a similar contract, its a wash. It also depends on snap counts and if the player makes all-pro/pro bowl/ etc. Like you said its complicated. FYI the best teams at gaining comp picks is the ravens.

Lastly if you wait until June 1st to sign players, those don't count against the comp formula. There is one guy that has a 95% success rate at predicting the comp picks, he's at over-the-cap and money in the bank about comp pick for the last few years. 

That was my other beef with this trade, even the chance at a 3rd or 5th comp is much better than the crap pile Morgan got.

Well you can bet Diontae's agent was burning up some phone minutes and people knew he wasn't staying.

That's it, the way the game is played if they know there is trouble between the team and the player you get less. 

For, me I thought it was worth it just to give Young all these options and weapons and prove what was or was not.

If they are waffling on that poo now still haven't made up their minds, it was a waste of resources.

I think the problem here is that we aren't going to have the luxury of standing pat in free agency to generate a potential Day 2 or Day 3 pick. We have far too many holes in the roster to just sit on our hands.

The Ravens are a great example of having the luxury to met guys walk because ywar in and year out they are not only stacked with talent but manage to identify even more in the draft.

We should get much better at compensatory picks and that system but we have to really build this roster up first.

We don't have the cap space to be making big moves

You are right, no chance the Panthers with the worst record and least talent can sit idle during FA period. Still better than what the ravens gave up.......

I don't think he was worth what people think here. 

That may be true, but we sent a 6th. We couldn't even get a 5th outright? It's just the principle. A 5th is bad enough as far as I'm concerned. I thought we'd get a fourth, but whatever.

Again I doubt that was the best offer, but IF it was, I just keep him and hope maybe for a 3rd/4th comp pick since Panthers don't have the cap space anyway.

FYI the whole ST unit are FAs in 2025.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By bandu · Posted

      there is one common denominator in the 2003 & 2015 Carolina Panthers teams they both had ELITE top tier Qb play.  it would require a MVP type of season from Bryce Young to have the same type of success that Jake Delhomme had in  2003 & or Cam Newton in 2015 & lead this team to a SuperBowl is this going to happen or is there any reason to believe Bryce Young is capable of playing similar to Jake Delhomme in 2003 or Cam Newton in 2015 ? well no there is no absolutely NO reason whatsoever to believe that this is going to happen in 2026 ..just saying

      Trevin Wallace - One Final Shot...or is Cherelus someone to watch?

      By CmC2k · Posted

      I'd actually like to see Cherelus get a fair shot to win the job in camp. Wallace is decent in drop zone coverage, but he gets abused in the play action game and is often times out of position in the run game. It might just be me, but I swear every time I watch Wallace play, I see multiple plays a game were it looks like he's just trying to be blocked. Watching Cherelus last year he at least looked like he was trying to hit someone on every play. Wallace plays like a LB who doesn't trust what he sees and it makes him passive and cautious versus Cherelus who regardless of if his decision is right or wrong goes at it 100%.

      Vrabel and Russini? Athletic investigating.

      By TylerDurden · Posted

      Agreed.  Hasn’t happened to me either, but I feel very strongly about it.  That’s not just one of the worst things a woman could do to a man, it’s a power inherent to only women and is one of the worst things a HUMAN being can do to another.  A man can’t “hide” a pregnancy or maternity.  It’s impossible.  And that sucks for anyone that has to go through that. I always got a weird vibe off her and just found her very unlikeable.  Annoying even.  I’ve always been good at reading people and there was just something about her to me that was off-putting, somewhere under the surface.  And here we are…  she is despicable.
