I just don't see him extending here unless we offer best-at-position money.

I just don't see that as being justified, TBH.

Yeah, I can't see paying Seattle's asking price AND signing him to a 5 year / $150 million contract.  That's just irresponsible.  Now if it's a 4th rounder...OK, that becomes more interesting contract aside.  I'd tell him prove it.  If you want $30 million, earn that.

Would love to have the guy, don't get me wrong, but he has never at any point consistently played like an elite WR. Why would we pay him elite money?

Because we are talking about the Panthers and the consistently stupid decisions they’ve made under the Tepper rule. I hope they don’t do this.

Take him, draft Warren and Skattebo…

 

go defense the rest of the way, sign a DT, draft pass rushers and a DT…

If they could address the front 7 before the draft... that'd be a solid offense no lie. Definitely  need to get creative and get a pass rusher and nose tackle

Similar stat line to Tee Higgins who has been sucked off hawk tuah style for 2 full years on this board.

Higgins doesn't have the drop issues that Metcalf does, nor does he have the issue of being a #2 WR like Higgins does.

Not to say I think we should pay a massive bag to Higgins either.

I am just saying there is nothing about Metcalf, outside pure Underwear Olympics boner inducing Al Davis wet dream athletic ability, that screams top 5 paid player at the position. He really has been underwhelming, if anything.

Not bad. He definitely isn't bad. And I do want him.....but not at that price. We can't go player, to player, to player and reset the market. We will be in shambles for another decade.

Id prefer to find a guy in the draft but Metcalf is only 27, birthday in December so he's still relatively young and has good experience. I would give a 3rd round pick if I were trading. He's worth that. But a 1st and 3rd like they are asking for........room something GIF

This is an incredibly dumb move if the rumors are true. 

Sure fits the MO. Seahawks cast off, big move they shouldn't make and won't help with the biggest issues.

I get calling but being all in just makes it seem like Scott is still around.

Swap 1st & 2nd round picks, then I would be all in for that trade. 

Give them a top 10 pick for a WR who will be 28 by the end of the year and will be one of the highest paid at his position? That's how you remain firmly in the cellar as we have been....

      Draft picks are better for cap management and production always outperforms athleticism over time.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Crixtala · Posted

      all the trades and using PFFs draft rankings and Gemini's analysis: This is a high-value mock draft that effectively uses trade-down strategies to rebuild the Carolina Panthers' defensive interior and add depth to a roster with multiple holes. By turning mid-round capital into a volume of picks, you've secured several "sliding" stars and developmental high-ceiling players. Based on 2026 PFF big board trends and player value, here is the analysis: Draft Grade: A- The Top Picks: Interior Dominance  * 19. Peter Woods (DT, Clemson): Getting Woods at 19 is a steal. Heading into the 2025 season, he was viewed as a potential top-5 talent. While his production dipped slightly, his 4.75 40-yard dash at 315 lbs is elite. He provides the Panthers with a versatile disruptor who can play 3-tech or slide outside.  * 63. Dontay Corleone (DT, Cincinnati): "The Godfather" is one of the best pure nose tackles in the class. Pairing him with Woods creates an immediate identity for the Panthers' front seven. PFF loves his "unmovable" anchor. Securing him at the end of Round 2 after trading down from 51/53 is excellent value. The Mid-Round Steals  * 83. Deontae Lawson (LB, Alabama): Lawson is a high-IQ "green dot" linebacker. Many scouts projected him as a late 1st or early 2nd rounder before an ACL injury in late 2024. Getting a 2-time Alabama captain at 83 to lead the defense is a massive win for culture and stability.  * 130. Drew Allar (QB, Penn State): This is the "high-upside lottery ticket" pick. Allar has prototypical size (6'5", 240 lbs) and a massive arm. His stock fell due to a 2025 ankle injury and inconsistency, but at 130, he’s a low-risk, high-reward backup/successor to Bryce Young if the former No. 1 pick continues to struggle. Trade Analysis & Late Round Value Your strategy of "tier-dropping" (trading 51 for 53/121 and 53 for 63/95) allowed you to stay in the same talent bracket while picking up Kevin Coleman Jr. (WR) and Genesis Smith (S).  * 168. Parker Brailsford (OC, Alabama): Great value for a technical center who can compete for a depth spot.  * 169. Tacario Davis (CB, Washington): At 6'4", he is a rare physical specimen at corner. PFF and other boards often have him as a Day 2 talent; getting him in the 5th round (via the 161 trade) is arguably your best value pick of the draft. Summary of Picks | Pick | Player | Position | School | Analysis | | 19 | Peter Woods | DT | Clemson | Elite traits; Top-10 ceiling. | | 63 | Dontay Corleone | DT | Cincinnati | Best run stuffer in the class. | | 83 | Deontae Lawson | LB | Alabama | Vocal leader; sliding due to injury. | | 121 | Kevin Coleman Jr. | WR | Missouri | Speed threat to complement the room. | | 130 | Drew Allar | QB | Penn State | High-ceiling developmental passer. | | 169 | Tacario Davis | CB | Washington | Massive reach/length for a late flyer. | Final Verdict You addressed the trenches aggressively and took advantage of "injury discounts" on Lawson and Allar. The only minor critique is that the roster still feels thin at Edge (until the 211 pick), but the sheer volume of talent added to the interior DL and Secondary compensates for it.
