Morgan kept Ian Thomas, didn't draft an edge rusher, let Luvu walk, rolled the dice with a depleted secondary, moved an injury prone guard to starting center that *shock* got re-injured, failed to get a true NT in 3-4 scheme, traded for a WR that he promptly shipped off mid-season.  I could keep going. Point being, Morgan has exactly hit the ball out of the park.

Actually Fitterer resigned Thomas. Luvu didn't want to be here. Defensive free agents were supposed to compliment Brown.  Johnson wasn't going to be here in 2025 and we aren't going to the playoffs so why not get some value.

I see Canales and Morgan having to prove to Tepper the rookies are better than his players before demoting them. A long process instead of Tepper simply getting out of the way, but it's working.

Now, let's shake loose Miles. Get Brooks starting over Hubbard behind this OL. Trade away Bryce. Toss Evero and all his pet players. Sign BC to play LT and move Ekwonu to LG.

Getting there slowly as expected with Tepper as the owner.

Money talks.  Luvu would have stayed at the right price.  Why trade for a guy who you knew was on a 1-year deal if re-signing him wasn't in the cards.  We could have cut Thomas, his cap hit wasn't that big. 

I'm going to give Dan time, but again, year one wasn't stellar.

Ickey hasn’t been as bad this season.

but I’d make Christensen the number 1 FA resigning this offseason.  He was playing good enough to be a high end starting Center who can fill in at LT if the starter went down.

Luuvu, unless we Really dropped the bag.  I think he would’ve left reguardless.  He wasn’t a fan of Evero’s scheme like a lot of other people on here.

We traded for a “guy who you knew was on a 1-year deal if re-signing him” as part of offloading Jackson.  Who we were going to cut anyways due to his contract.  So getting Johnson for Jackson instead of flat cutting Donte still isn’t a bad move at the time.  Any GM would’ve done that.

Ian Thomas is a head scratcher.  He’s survived 3 GMs.

 

But he did sign 2 good starting OGs.  And I’d say A’Shawn Robinson is the best FA DL we’ve signed the last 5 years.  Also flipped our 7th rd pick into a starting CB. Which washes the moves above.

 

And it’s been awhile since we’ve had a draft that produces more than 2 guys who are making a impact as a rookie.

Too early to tell if Morgan and Canales will be successful and bring NFL football back to the Carolinas or not.  I think things will be more clear 1 year from now though.  By November 2025, they will have had 2 off-seasons, made a decision on the starting QB, improved/or not improved the defense, and improved/or not improved the play makers on offense. If the Panthers still look like bottom dwellers than we all know that Morgan/Canales will be recycled for another duo of test dummies to work under our new beloved owner.  

There are many glaring needs with this team due to the past 6 years of terrible decisions.  Nobody could fix this mess in 1 off-season, and realistically not in 2 off-seasons, but we should at least see some progress.

Im not for or against Dan Morgan yet but you are not gifted anything in the NFL. A team either wins the game or loses the game.

Some fans simply can't believe they lost to the Panthers -- and others can't believe the Panthers won. It's surprising, yes, but the better team yesterday scored 23 points. The lesser team scored 22.

I've trashed a lot of what Morgan has done lately (justifiably so), but that was a good deal. It's panned out very well and Jackson's really been a contributor at times. At the very least, he's not holding anyone back with his play.

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
