BC sounding like he's gonna go get his bag

I'll just put it this way, I wouldn't put money on Brady Christensen returning. Though never a cemented fixture on the line, he may be difficult to replace. 

 

"While Christensen has great value, there's also a decent chance he can make more money by signing with another team. For one thing, there's no clear path for Christensen to start, which he hasn't done consistently since he played left guard in 2022. Panthers fans should prepare for the possibility that he will wind up leaving in free agency. When he spoke with reporters on locker cleanout day, he said he wants to test the market but would not mind returning, ultimately wanting to make the best choice for his family, per David Newton at ESPN."

He deserves a higher payday for sure, but what's that going to look like?

On an off note, we can't let BC and Ekwonu ultimately walk. That's not what responsible franchises do. For those bringing up Ickey, you better appreciate that man. He's not perfect, but is a far cry from dog poo.

He is 29.  Never earned a starting gig he could hold.  Decent value as a swing T, but we played him at G and C.   He is not a necessity, and you gotta lose some to gain some.

Go figure.

I think we need to draft a T to replace BC as a top swing T (Nijman is not the answer) and eventual Moton replacement.  Moton's knees (knee issues on a big man are not good) and when we sign Ickey, Moton's contract could be an issue if we cannot extend him.  Always plan ahead for unseen circumstances.  If you think the agents don't know when you are vulnerable, you would be wrong for thinking the agents don't know when you are vulnerable.

Good thread.  I would like to see us analyze the S situation, the LB situation, DTs, and the OLB /edge situation soon.

      I suppose it depends on what you mean as 'elite'. I typically mean someone that can play with lower level pieces around them and still win. There are very few of those.

      The running back situation....

      By frankw · Posted

      It would obviously be incredible if Brooks came back and just ran away with the job on his opportunities like Rico Dowdle did last year. But any Panthers fan that has been around the block knows better than to go ahead and make plans for that. Brooks has missed a ton of not just playing time but meaningful early career growth in a league that has increasingly devalued the position from an investment standpoint beyond one or two superstars. There's really not any comparison to look back on that lines up with the current iteration of the league at least not favorably. The key thing that this RB room has going for them is our investment in the OL. The highest paid OL in the league two years in a row paired with our staff should make it easier for just about any RB to get into open running lanes. But that is also anything but a given considering our OL was largely middle of the pack last year. In the end it might all be a moot point anyways if we again struggle to establish a viable passing attack.

      I don't have him making the team and I think same goes for the staff, but they are hopeful for a PS spot.    I mean of course I'd like 3 all-world at RB and every spot, just doesn't work that why. Panthers normally carry 3. dan always talk up Etienne, even called him a future star.....I think Brooks will be fine as a 2 with health pls.....  Chubba can carry a seasons load as lead dawg.    Its fine, I mean backup OGs or CB is much higher on my worry scale(Id even put QB room as worse than RB room too...)
