Garrett Wilson eyeing Bryce Young

I agree with you in principle. The only caveat I can add putting on my homer hat is that there is typically much more variance in defensive performance than offensive performance in consecutive years.

Meaning we stand a better chance of the defense rebounding to at least average next season based on history.

And our offense was playing for the most part at an average to above average level for most of the 2nd half of the season.

It's hard to believe a unit that finished this season as one of the very worst in NFL history being elite next year, but history says there is a high probability they will not be nearly this bad.

We can certainly hope, but to your original point, I think getting to .500 should be the goal for next year and at least being in the mix for the whole season.

Winning the division or anything beyond would be a nice surprise 

The law of averages says they will improve the defense to a level above what it is now, couldn't possibly be worse. Getting enough depth to survive more than a couple of injuries is going to be challenging. 

As crazy as it sounds Canales not only has the challenge of improving the offensive output and increasing his win total, now there's a full season of tape on it and Young. So in theory the offense could be worse. Yay.

Trading for Metcalf or signing Godwin with thier ties to Canales seem more likely. Plus good chance the 49ers have to trade Deebo this offseason

Yes not enough, what do you think it will take?

It would take pick 8

And given I want Luther Burden at 8 I’d be willing to send it for a legit WR1 in Wilson

Young and Wilson could play together for the next 10 years 

[TLGPanthersFan]

No trades. Also we go through this every freaking off-season. Stop taking what a player does on social media so seriously. 

[Jon Snow]

Aren't you guys the same people that thought Diontae Johnson was worth a 1st round pick?

[Move the Panthers to Raleigh]

Outside of cap implications, why not just trade our entire draft for good FAs? We suck at it anyway

[XClown1986]

The Stefon Diggs trade from Minnesota to Buffalo is probably the gauge for a Garrett Wilson trade. But, he is a true number 1 receiver and is being mishandled in NY.

What does "He is" even mean and how is it related to the Panthers? Is he replying to something and I can't see it cause I'm not logged into X?

He’s replying to something. Someone posted something along the lines of “He might be better than we thought he was” pertaining to Bryce

 

”He is” was Garrett’s reply.

Trade XL for him haha

I'd do that straight up without hesitation. Think the Jets would prefer pick(s) though.

[tukafan21]

Would love the player, but there's two big problems with it.

The first is that the Jets aren't trading a 24 year old #1 WR for anything less than a 1st rounder (and might need more than just a single 1st anyways), and under no circumstances should we be trading our 1st round picks in any year right now.

The second is that when the Jets inevitably move on from Rodgers (and then Adams) this offseason, Wilson isn't going to want out anymore as his problem is with those two more than the organization.

I'm vehemently against Burden at 8, it's way too high for him.

But I'd rather take him at 8 than trade for Wilson, 100 times out of 100.

It's not that I think Burden is going to be the better player, I actually don't think he'll ever be as good as Wilson is/will be.  But if you make that trade you then have to give Wilson a new contract instead of having that position on a rookie deal.  

Using the pick on Burden and then the extra cap space on a defensive player would be a million times smarter than trading for Wilson and giving him a big deal.

It's basically would you rather have Wilson or Burden and a legit pass rusher, seems like an easy decision to me.

Oh, and this isn’t the first time that Wilson has openly endorsed Young . . .

Remember talking to Garrett about Young back in Jets locker room back October. He was adamant he was a player. Said everyone was gonna see.

I may, or may not, have rolled my eyes.

GW was spot on. https://t.co/co7etqLOAG

I would not trade our first rounder for him. I’d rather just go after Tee Higgins in free agency and still keep our 1st

You have to spend your cap at some point and Wilson is a #1 and 24.  We would be very lucky to get him.  If we give 8 I want something additional back
