adam schfter is now saying the Ravens are in line for a 3rd compensatory pick if Johnson walks.  Which I guess makes sense and is the cherry on top for this poo trade

Yeah they can get a 6th or 7th but that’s irrelevant to us. We are adding a bunch of players in FA to help this sad roster so we weren’t getting a comp pick.

Where you see that? We need draft picks and a QB, assuming we roll with some journeyman at 15-20 next year we will have 20-25M in cap to spend. 

I could be reading it wrong but it looks like we are bottom half on cap space as of today.  Sure some things can be moved but I doubt we want to start giving out long term high end deals.  At least I hope so.  Just ride this out until 26 and then things completely open up

I'd say it's legit, point being that we weren't going to get any great offers.

Likely the whole league sees us as a poverty franchise, and they treat us accordingly.

Or they know Diontae is a headache and not worth giving up anything of real value

we had teams on the hook 3 weeks ago per j jones.  You think there was a worse offer on the table?  Dude this is totally being leaked by the panthers as evidenced of media members and players saying he wasnt a problem

 

this is classic CYA by the team.  If you think a swap of a 5th and a 6th is the best offer then I am not even sure what to tell you all things considered.  Hopkins is 3 years older and injury prone, D adams has been known to be a malcontent and yet..................

Word was out. Left behind on a road trip, after the previous week that everyone saw. And fwiw Diontae caused that by acting out. Talking his talk. 

Looked like if they had to they would have cut him outright. And if you are releasing a player you are saying he has no value to you. 

edit: it's on him, the low return. He put things out there. On the field, in the postgame comments. I bet that lil act cost him some money when he wants that next deal.

    • They know within 15 mins.  Many moons ago skins drafted Heath Shuler at like 5th overall and Gus Frerotte in the late rounds. You know the plan, its Heaths team. Old OLman stink said within 15 minutes they knew Gus was the better QB.  I didn't need 15 or players on the same field, I just knew like Bill said "he better walk on water", which he hasn't. I do blame tepper mainly for it, he spend the greater part of 2 year telling everyone Watson would be a panther......and fail....but a great fail...then Stanford turned panthers down.....tepper was beyond pissed and wanted a QB. He forced the trade and picked BY......and now by .....some grace of the gods formed a team with 4 QBs of no hope...... insane given the other roster spots.....
    • He definitely knows nothing about the Panthers, but there’s no denying he’s a pioneer in this whole draft grading and mock draft field.
    • I actually say wait five years since that's long enough to know if a player  became something worthy enough for a long term contract, whether with their original team or someone else. Therefore... 1 (8): Jaycee Horn - Has been questions about his durability but when he's healthy, he plays at a high level. Should we have drafted Pat Surtain or Micah Parsons, however? Arguably could’ve done better, but he's still here so that's a W pick. 2 (59): Terrance Marshall - Yet another classic Panther WR bust. I don’t recall seeing anything in his college tape that made me excited about drafting him in the first place.  3 (70): Brady Christensen - Proved to be a versatile player on the O-line.  As of now, we haven’t signed him back and I feel that we should. That's enough to say he was a solid draft pick. 3 (83): Tommy Tremble - Hasn't emerged as a consistent productive player, but he's had his moments here and there. We can certainly do better, but we haven’t found that guy yet so he still has some utility. W because he's not Ian Thomas. 4 (126): Chuba Hubbard - Surprise of the draft. It took time, but he's now our lead back.  5 (158): Daviyon Nixon - Had a half a sack with us and... that's it. I think I liked what I saw but it didn't pan out. 5 (166): Keith Taylor - Another guy I liked but only stuck around for two years. Played for a few other teams but nothing really to note. 6 (193): Deonte Brown - I really thought this guy was going to be a steal. He might’ve been the guy that had weight issues and never really got a handle on it. 6 (204): Shi Smith - He scored double the touchdowns that Marshall did in his short time here; it was two. Yeah, the Panthers wide receiver history is rather bleak. 6 (222): Thomas Fletcher - I had to look it up but he was a long snapper. JJ Jansen is immortal, so it was a wasted draft pick. 7 (232): Phil Hoskins - Actually recorded a sack here in his short career. Wish I could remember it.   Surprisingly not a bad draft when you have two good/great starters and a JAG that's still here, plus a good rotation guy most would like to keep.
