Defensive Needs:  DE, NT depth, CB, S, Edge, LB.

Offensive Needs:  WR, TE, RT, RB

 

FS, LB depth, and NT depth (Crumedy? Draft pick?) left to go for the defense.

I expect Dan Chisena (for ST primarily) and could see the team kicking the tires on Tyler Lockett.

Sets the team up nicely leading into the draft......

I missed Tershawn Wharton.  Just stumbled over it. Here is how I see the DE Milton Williams failed deal ($26m per year).

The Panthers then sign NT Bobby Brown for $7m and DE Wharton for $18m.  In other words, the Panthers get 2 solid players for $25m-- $1m less than the Milton contract.

WHAT PANTHERS GOT FOR $25m (combined):

  • DE Tershawn Wharton:  7 sacks, 68.3 pass rush grade.  44.3 run defense grade.
  • NT Bobby Brown: 0 sacks, 67.7 run defense grade. Overall PFF rating: 63.3

WHAT PATRIOTS GOT FOR $26m:

  •  Milton Williams:  6 sacks, 90.0 pass rush grade.  43.1 run defense grade.

Lockett is all but guaranteed to go to Vegas

Why?

Don't get me wrong, I've always been a Kupp fan, but he'll turn 32 before training camp, hasn't been able to stay healthy, and plays the same role that Thielen already plays for us and who already has a rapport with Bryce.

Because of that, he doesn't really add anything new to the team unless we were planning on trading/cutting Thielen.  

But since neither would be long term solutions at the position anyways, I'd rather just stick it out with Thielen for his last year under contract given Bryce's comfort level with him already.  This is a make or break year for Bryce, I think that comfort level with someone who hasn't had the injury issues that Kupp has had is better for us this year than Kupp would be as a replacement for him.

It's true.

CMC is also creeping up on the dreaded 30 for RBs.

 

Aiyuk on his way out the door?!?!?!

Huh?  I know he got hurt last year, but they just signed him to a huge deal, are there rumors of them trying to already trade him?

    • I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!
    • Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.  
    • Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.
