Yeah.  I think trading for him taking on about $9m in salary (guestimate) is a luxury for a contender looking for a #2 to compete.  We have Kupp in Thielen.  I am so worried that we overpay for a free agent WR playing in a good system (like we did the Eagles RB) and he underperforms here.

Smart worry. It's how bad teams stay bad. We'll see Morgan's mettle this year, it's when most GMs fug up.

This had me curious so I looked up tee higgins and adam theilens career stats.  Adam thielen average a higher yard per catch last year than tee did.  Tees injury history suprised me he has played in 70 of 90 nfl games.  Not sure him or Kup is worth a lot of money but would be worth seeing how they did here if they came are right price.  Thielens career stats are pretty impressive he has been putting up good sometimes great numbers for a long time.  He is definatly a bargain for the panthers

the more I think about higgins the less I think he will be very good on another team he has jamar chase taking most of the coverage from him, and he has only averaged 65.6 yards per game.  Kupp has averaged 74.8 yards per game or 8th out of current active nfl wrs 51.3 for adam thielen   I think Kupp if healthy is the better WR, I think higgins could be a great wr2, but do not believe either are worth salary demands.

Just my opinion but I'd rather sign a couple cheap alternatives like Slayton and mvs, draft a mid round guy and develop Coker, x and jt than make a big splash for kupp or higgins

I agree. Slayton and or Hollywood Brown are two names that come to mind. We need a speedster to stretch the defense

I think Kupp is on the backside. Unless this is a value deal(we would have to overpay in that value range, obviously) it doesn't make a ton of sense. 

Seems like he would be a lot more interested in going to a contender than a team that is very unlikely to see the playoffs in the remainder of his career.

    • Yea when teams see a gun charge they rightly pause but this seems like a big misunderstanding. 
    • Sorry man you lost me at "Teppers have evolved as owners". Limped into playoffs at 8-9 not even above .500 Tepper is trash as an owner bro and that's not even a discussion at this point. 37-83 w/l ratio. Nuff said.... Morgan tho, he's cooking and it ain't cuz of Teppers leadership
    • After listening to Morgan's presser twice, I came away with some key beliefs. First of all, I don't think he's a bullshitter. What you see is what you get. When he says something, he means it.  The Teppers really have evolved as owners. Morgan has mentioned how they're easy to work with--a pleasure to work with a few times now. There seems to be a good relationship between all of them (and include Dave Canales on that). We'll see if it lasts. Yes, no one wanted to come to Carolina with the previous management, but that seems to have changed. The team signed arguably the top Edge, LB and OT on the market, two of them on pretty good deals and one on what I'll say is "not a bad one." And, credit Sunshine Dave "Flowers and Cotton Candy" Canales for helping to change the culture. Morgan mentioned getting guys--and I'm paraphrasing--that are not only great football players but great people. Don't look for us to be acquiring any James Pearce types anytime soon, just saying. We'll see if that holds true in the future. Dan Morgan really has set up the Panthers to take the BPA/BAP. He mentioned it at least a couple of times, and he doesn't seem pressured to pinpoint a particular position. He just wants quality players that will help the team. This is how it's going to be (to your joy or dismay, probably for as long as he's here), and personally I love it. Many of us know how Morgan was when he played: aggressive! That's what he's going to be when making acquisitions. He explicitly said it, and emphasized it. All avenues are open (think FA, waivers...the draft)! Personally, as long as it's controlled aggression and not reckless aggression, I love it.  On KP: "Mobility is big in this league."  He basically says if another QB is the BPA while drafting--we're going by our board, people--we're going to add them.        ...
