Keeping Miles Sanders( even at a reduced salary) would be a huge, ‘WTF!!?

IDK, if he came back at a reduced price I wouldn't mind it.  He played well down the stretch last year and it would cross a need off

 

I don't even give inches 1% chance to stay here, even with them respecting his professionalism. Dan is just lip service on this, he's gone.

*unless they screwed up his contract. There was a 2 year out - POTENTIAL OUT: 2025, 2 YR, $13,200,000; $2,950,000 DEAD CAP. Best I understand its 5 million in cap space SAVED. Besides one game and few snaps, he's done less than UDFA level. He does blitz pickup great. Chubba just out ran him with weak or strong OLs.

Carolina can do better.

President of football operations and general manager Dan Morgan spoke with reporters from the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine on Tuesday. He was asked if the outcome of Super Bowl LIX, in which the Philadelphia Eagles dominated the Kansas City Chiefs through their overwhelming defensive line, served as a reminder for the importance of having a strong front.

“Yeah, I don’t think we needed the Eagles game to understand that,” Morgan said with smile. “I think, both sides of the ball, you have to win the line of scrimmage. You have to be bigger, you have to be tougher, you have to be more physical—and that’s what we’re looking to do around here.

“We’re looking to build that defensive line like we built the offensive line last season. Give the fans a good product on the field, give us a good product on the field. And we’re excited. We’re excited about the guys in free agency, we’re excited about the guys in the draft, and we think we can fill some of those holes.”

It definitely sounds obvious Dan Morgan wants to address the defense first and foremost (not a big surprise). But I wish he’d put on more of a poker face when he talks about his plans. He’s extremely easy to read and I hope a team who wants the same player we want (Jalon Walker) won’t take advantage of that. I’m hoping I don’t hear stories like last year when we told XL we were going to draft him. It’s good to hear that Morgan feels more comfortable as a GM in year 2. Hopefully it’s translates to quality draft picks. We desperately need it. Can’t wait for the draft.

He didn't say anything the whole league doesn't already know.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.

      Jaycee LOCKDOWN Horn is due for a breakout year

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!
