Ø Person notes the team would like to re-sign LB Sam Franklin, TE Tommy Tremble, and WR David Moore on short-term deals.
 
Ø Meanwhile, CB Mike Jackson, S Xavier Woods, P Johnny Hekker, and OL Brady Christensen will likely hit free agency.
 
Ø The team has already re-signed QB Andy Dalton and LS J.J. Jansen, however, they are letting LB Shaq Thompson hit free agency and Person believes they could do the same with TE Ian Thomas and K Eddy Pineiro.

Mike Jackson is the lone surprise.  I’d rather see him stay but I’m guessing it’s a numbers game.  Just don’t have the funds to sign him and extend Horn.

Same thought.  I think they probably want to keep Jackson but the numbers may end up being prohibitive. 
 

I like him but don’t want to pay too much.

Don't know that it's as much that as it is comparing what it'd take to sign him vs. other options they may prefer on the open market. And obviously the draft is an option. I still expect him back eventually.

He is a CB who is good but not that good IMO. With a healthy Horn just find another one if he is looking for bigger money than he is worth. I don't even know of he wants to be here anyways.

I was talking about Ian Thomas lol.  Mike Jackson is as good as gone.  He's going to get overpaid.

But in all seriousness I thought I saw something that said the team expected to let Thomas walk.

Heading into the combine, the Athletic's Panthers beat reporter Joe Person is expecting that the team will move on from three vets: long-time linebacker Shaq Thompson, kicker Eddy Pineiro and tight end Ian Thomas.

It links to the same article in the OP but I don't have a subscription to see which interpretation is more accurate as to whether Person thinks the Panthers "could" move on from Ian Thomas (as Juan characterized) or whether Person expects the Panthers to move on from Ian Thomas (as SI characterized).

Christensen would be nice but he obviously wants to test the market. Between him being gone, the center spot, Icky still a bit of an uncertainty and Moton’s age, I really think the OL should be given some love via draft to develop our next starters. Stay ahead, don’t let a strength become a weakness. 

D wise- Jackson is the surprise but maybe we target some DBs in the market - there’s some interesting ones this year. Offense this FA is kind of trash but defensively, DB talent is there.

Also- For being a more well known safety, Xavier Woods had one of the quietest 2+ year starting tenures I think I’ve ever seen here.

OL screams 4th round pick this year to me. High enough to get a solid prospect, but not so high that it hurts us too bad if he doesn't pan out.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
