I genuinely wonder what team could even make a trade for Garrett.

Because it's more than just giving up the picks, as if you give up multiple 1sts for him, you HAVE to sign him to an extension to make sure you're keeping him around for years.  And if you have to give him the extension right away, that also means you need a lot of cap room this offseason.

How many teams are a pass rusher away from being a SB contender, have the picks, and have the cap room?

 I think the first Mack package is a ballpark- 1st and 3rd.....I feel that's too light. tho

He's got 2 years left and what 29(?), but he's a peppers-like alien, so that age doesn't equal "old". Plus best I know, he's been healthy and no big injuries. The worst thing on the resume was the fake n-word and helmet swing on helmentless player. 

I mean if I was a GM that was very comfy with my roster, Id almost trade too much for him along with giving him new mega deal. If I was 85% sure my team could make the playoff the next two years, I would trade two 1st and maybe even mid-rounder/mid player for him. 

He's a difference maker. He's a big nerd, no off-field BS like many others. I'd try for less, but Id give up kings haul for him.

I'm not saying he isn't worth trading for, but if he only wants to go to a contender, you then have to have a contender who has the cap space to give him a new deal (as if you give up multiple 1sts for him and don't sign him to an extension immediately, then you're beyond dumb).

I was more genuinely asking the question, as I didn't feel like looking up potential cap space amongst contenders.

I'm sure there are probably a dozen or so teams that would GLADLY give up multiple firsts and give him a monster extension, but they might not be the teams he's thinking can contend in 2025 by adding him and using up their cap space and draft picks to do so.

This is one of the few players at a critical position that it is worth paying a king's ransom.  I actually think the Panthers will be considered a playoff contender next year, but not a Super Bowl contender.  I doubt this happens, but it would be an amazing pick up.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      By ok2h8pep · Posted

      Would Morgan or Beason have been HOFers' if injuries hadn't derailed their careers?  I was not a close watcher of the game when Morgan was in his prime but I thought Beason had a few seasons at close to Lukes' level of play.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Franchise QBs feast when things are rolling and the tide that raises boats when things are going sideways.  Bryce isn't that. He's a complimentary player, that's it.  When the defense and STs are on point, he plays loose and it shows.  When we are in a dog fight and things haven't gone our way, he struggles.  It's that simple. He's not a horrible QB, but he's not top tier either.  So the question begs, is this worthy of a second contract?  The answer should be no.  It definitely is my answer. Bryce will never be a QB that can produce wins largely on his arm.  That's a FRANCHISE QB, any other QB is simply a placeholder at the starter's position until that guy can be found.   At some point the excuses of lack of weapons will be a straw man.  Heck, it's nearly there now.  I mean if he doesn't look even better than last year will we blame it on the TE position?  'Well if Bryce only had a player like Kelce, Kittle or Gronk on this team...'  Are we really going to do that?

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      By MHS831 · Posted

      When I arrived at college, I was 18, not too much younger than some of these draft picks.  It was not a huge school, but there were guys on the team who were 21, 22, 23....playing ahead of me.  I was seventh on the depth chart.  Those guys have been through a few seasons, were stronger, more knowledgeable.  I was a better raw player than some of them, but those other factors matter.  As I grew stronger, more familiar with the playbook, and learned what it was like to play in college, I gradually improved and with that, I rose up the depth chart.  It took most of my freshman year for the light to come on.  Had the coach thrown me into the starting lineup day 1, I would have probably failed.    And that was college.  So I agree with you based on my experience on a much lower level.  Frankly, I think that is why so many kids drafted to fill huge gaps bust.  The teams are desperate.  Anyone who looks to fill vacancies in the starting lineup through the draft is desperate.  You draft depth to develop.  For this reason, I say, "Let Walker start for a while."  Maybe Brazzell can be our WR 4.  Throw Hunter into a rotation and ask him to do one or two things.  Freeling needs some strength and he needs to work on run blocking.
