That said, if that’s the starting price for Garrett, the Panthers would have to give up their 2025 first-round pick (8th overall), a 2026 first-round pick, a 2025 third-round pick, and potentially a Day 2 pick in 2026.

For a team like Carolina that might be too much to give up for a win-now player even though he would take this unit to new heights. Instead, the Panthers might be better off using those picks to fill various holes in the draft or to acquire under-the-radar players.

There is no world where I'd ever be okay with giving up future 1st round picks, for any player, until we know if Bryce can be the future or not (and for all you Bryce backers, you can't honestly say he's already proven that he can be).

I also don't believe for a second that Garrett who is asking for a trade not because of money, but because he wants to win, would be okay with coming here where we're not 1 player away from winning.  All while at the same time, trading for him and extending would take us out at the knees to build the rest of the roster out that we'd need to actually contend anyways.

AND.... even if I were okay with it, I'd much rather go after Parsons than Garrett, younger and might actually be the better player as well.

You got duped and started a thread about it.  So no.....

There will be many more of these threads to come. You know how it is this time of year. The Panthers will be linked to every possible FA and trade scenarios you can imagine this offseason and fans will eat that stuff up. It's the same every offseason that's why it's so funny. You can set your clock by it.

Cant trade our way to being competitive--gotta fill spots and draft the best.  I'd love to have him, but we lose to much and pay too much.  I think we need to use free agency wisely.   We need to sign free agents and draft people.  If we give up draft capital to take in huge salary, what are we doing?

No. fug no. Garrett is a STUD but we just have way too many roster holes in large part because of another massive draft capital trade we made. We'd have half a decade of premium draft picks tied up in two players.

Yeah nah I believe in Bryce and I'm not trading any future picks. But i very much disagree that Parsons is a better player than Garrett

I'm not saying he is or isn't, they're probably the two best pass rushers in the game (Watt makes it a 3 man conversation for me), trying to say one is better than the other is more or less pointless.  But when Parsons is younger and there can even a debate between who is better, if I'm giving up too much to get anyone, I'm going with the guy who is 3.5 years younger every time.  

All of that is to say that I still don't think either is a good trade.  

That's a trade you make when that one player can push you into legitimate SB contention, and we're not that one player away even before you factor in the picks and cap room we'll lose to get him, all of which are needed to even get us just into playoff contention in the next couple years, let alone SB contention.

We're still years away from hoping to contend, every offseason we try to find the quick fix, all it is is one step forward and 3 steps back.  And this isn't about keeping the 8th pick for the hope at the guy everyone here knows I want, it's about building the roster up correctly, not throwing a hail mary while trying to fit the square peg into the round hole to expedite a process that realistically can't be expedited.

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

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

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

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
