Coker isn’t an FA

The only person from that group I’d overly care about bringing back is Cade Mays and maybe Christensen just so the OL can continue doing what they’ve been doing chemistry wise 

Woods would be fine but I wouldn’t overpay. This team needs to be realistic this offseason and realize we’re not playing for a SB next year. 

Keep the OL together. Get Young a WR or two. Then focus on defense but do not overpay for guys just because we need to fill holes. If Young ends up being our franchise QB then take the approach that our first realistic competitive year starts in 2026

Coker is an ERFA - we have rights but we still have to sign him to a new contract.  He was a UDFA so he was on a 1-yr deal.  He belongs on the list.

As for the team priorities, WR is down the list behind most of our defensive needs.  You have XL, Coker, and Thielen - there are certainly upgrades to be had, but WR is not as big a need as EDGE, DL, LB, CB, or Safety at the moment considering contracts and talent.  I am all for one of the top 3 WR's if they are Brian Thomas level or better, but not at the sacrifice of most of those defensive needs.

Higgins is the only one I'd feel comfortable giving big money to. Godwin is good, but coming off a major injury and, IMO, hasn't flashed true #1 ability the way Higgins has. Granted, both play opposite elite WR1s.

I do think there are some solid #3 options available; Josh Palmer from the Chargers is my favorite.

We already have a #3 though....would you want Palmer over Coker/Thielen?  I honestly like our top 3 at the moment.  If we don't go get a true #1 I would rather leave it as is.

No more high priced FA. This team must draft their way out of football purgatory. 

this.... unless it's for the trenches and we hit it the way we we did OG. i think this is the only place we should be throwing a lot of FA money if we're going to be. 

would rather we build through the draft, though and save the big money for good players we want to keep around.

Naw thats the old plan, If the Panthers truly believe Bryce is their guy. they need to gear up while he is on his affordable rookie contract and see how far he can take them.

We need at least 2 WRs IMO. We need a WR1 and a WR3/4 speed/deep threat/returner. Due to our cap situation I don't see us actually getting/going after a Tee Higgins type of FA. Maybe if our cap was more like the Patriots. Basically we are going to have to scout and draft our butts off.

      Panthers HC Dave Canales hints at adding more weapons for QB Bryce Young

      By strato · Posted

      I am trying to remember when I EVER said reach for need. My thing if someone falls you jump, if you can trade back a few slots and get help at the right value and pick up some ammo to move up from 51 which I think is outside the money zone, then you do that.   Take a WR later. Plenty of capable WRs have come from the 3rd round. Though this year I would go for C there if there was a reasonable choice. Take a TE if you must. I see more reason to take WR than TE. I think you give guys drafted two years ago and last year a chance to develop before cancelling them.    I think it is kind of unrealistic to throw everything all in on offense in hopes of going deep in the playoffs after an 8-10 year, even if it did have some nice bright spots in it.    And outside of this argument but relevant to it, I am bothered by Canales and Morgan and their apparent posture that we have arrived and are now in the big boy club. I don’t know where that comes from. They are out there talking like they are winners at 8-10. Backing into the playoffs in a real convoluted tie breaker scenario. They had some good games, yes. But the big feather n the cap, the LA Rams matchups, did you see what the Rams did? They didn’t fire the coaches but they fired their defensive backs. Bryce beat them yes, and it was pretty, but it was kind of like the Bucs and Mike Evans picking on our decimated secondary in 2022. Someone (Wilks) went down for allowing that to happen and they went down in LA too.  Wr aren’t as good as a whole lot of homers think we are. Shore up the trenches.    I think too many fans buy into it because they are so starved for anything that looks like a winner.

      2025 Draft Re-Grades (Or, One Idiot Doubles Down)

      By Raskle · Posted

      How exactly does one win OROY "by default"? Wouldn't winning the award mean that of the two, McMillon stayed strong the entire year while the other guy didn't and fizzled out? That's like saying Secretariat only won by default because the other horse stopped moving midway through the race. Absolutely zero logic in that statement, which makes me very glad that I've never really paid much attention to Walterfoozball.

      Who was the better HC - Rivera or McDermott?

      By Basbear · Posted

      I agree, teams in the past have fired the HC in order to retain a coach on staff...hell it happened to Mcderp this year, rams in the past and Im missing another.  The fall off for the Panthers team defense was huge once Mcderp leftd and Ron could not fix it even when he named himself DC.
