Great move by the Panthers.  Cade really came on strong last year (8 starts).  Look no further than his starts against the Giants (Dextor Lawerance) and the Eagles (best dline in NFL) late last year.  He really held his own and could be the long term answer.  If we go into next season with him as the starter I'm not mad at it at all.

3.3 million for 1 year.  The RFA allows other teams to offer him but we can match. 

I keep hearing we are trying to resign Corbett too and when healthy he is a better option but that is the big question.  I'm all for it at the right contract and having Mays takes into account potential injury.

The only logical thing to do. I'd still like to see us draft a center by next year. It's going to have to happen. It already should have. But that's for another discussion.

Agreed. Hate that we passed up Zach Frazier in last year’s draft. Imagine him between Hunt and Lewis. What might have been. That said, I’m glad they’re holding on to Mays.

Welp, guess that means we can take center off the list for draft picks.

 

need a RT.  hope we can find one in the 3rd to learn behind Moton this year and then take over.  But Moton has been dealing with injuries for a while, so I hope we get one before the 4th.  So many damn needs, but OL has to remain a strength

this is a no brainer move.  He got better every game. He is better than Corbett--and he will only get better next year.  Yes, playing between our guards, but Corbett did as well for a short while and Mays was playing better.
He is a starting C.  He is not weak.  He needs depth and competition is not a bad thing--I might even try to lock him down--he is 25, great at pass blocking (meh in run blocking)

Good move. He's a versatile IOL. That's easily worth $3.3M even if he's the primary IOL backup. Bryce finished out the season on a very strong note. Don't let the OL take a step back. Let's see if we can keep that ball rolling.

We have Zavala too who was good in small samples.  IOL depth is solid if we get another C.  I think they also like Jarett Kingston who might compete for swing T, but he can play all 4 positions that don't touch the ball.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      Such a dumb pick and most of us knew it Ladd would’ve been the perfect match with Bryce But instead they draft XL to fill the void at the X spot because we had a 34 year old Adam Thielen. Then a year later we draft a real X WR and move XL inside where he has absolutely no business being for a list of reasons

      If you can only fire ONE person before 2026....

      My logic was hopefully a new HC would have a LOT quicker hook for Bryce. But, that is assuming they would even be allowed. I guess that's a call to the owner's box for permission.

      I’m not overly defending the pick. I was team Stroud by a country mile but I also knew what to expect as far as ceiling goes with Bryce  I had concerns with Bryce’s arm strength and size. Neither seem to overly be an issue. He’s proven to throw with enough anticipation that he makes up for a lack of velocity. I was worried about the way he played in college not translating to the league. Spending 8 seconds behind LOS. I did also think it would take Young a few years for him to reach his full potential. I also think he’s too smart and accurate to flat out bust which all of seems to be pretty accurate Bryce is someone you can absolutely win with. No one thought he’d be the type to carry a well below average supporting cast to a Super Bowl. He’s fully capable of giving you those 4-5 special plays a game that help your team win. And then you have those rare times where he’s the reason you win like in Atlanta.  All good teams have more than just a QB.  Even the teams that are winning this year all have a lot more than what we have. Supporting cast/defense… more than what we have  As far as Morgan goes I 100% agree. Fwiw he was legit team Bryce during the draft process. I know that for a fact. Last years draft is a complete write off. This past draft still up for debate. TMac and Scourton look solid. I can’t remember the last time I saw Princely win a rep and I’m being honest. Ransom has a little value. I think ETN is a nice insurance add. Evans could be a TE2.    I think this offseason Morgan will get aggressive with trying to land a pass rusher. Whether that’s a trade for Crosby, signing Hendrickson, it’s going to be top priority. We need a ILB. I really like Kaden Ellis. Sonny Styles should be in our draft range. We also need a tight end and it would be interesting to see this offseason with Kenyon Sadiq
