Honestly hope we don't sign a RB. I get you want to plug holes and/or allow yourself to go BPA in draft, but i would rather address in draft 1x late round, 1x UDFA

Yeah, it's a deep RB class. Take advantage of it. There will be a number of day three RBs out of this draft class who will be solid NFL contributors.

They need a kick returner to replace Blackshear. Now that guy doesn't have to be a RB of course but they need to figure out who that is. I'm against signing a RB as well but they need some sort of rotation at the position.

Vikings closing in on deal with two-time Pro Bowler

We might need to start a separate live blog where we only break down Vikings' free agency moves, because they are busy this morning. On top of adding Jonathan Allen and Will Fries, the team is also closing in on a deal with Javon Hargarve, NFL Media reports

Hargrave is expected to be released by the 49ers on Wednesday and when that happens, he'll likely be signing with the Vikings. He'll be joining Jonathan Allen on a suddenly loaded defensive line. 

The only knock on Hargraves is that he's 32 and coming off a season where he missed 14 games due to a partially torn right triceps.

I don't get why Greenlaw went for that cheap. I would much rather have Greenlaw than Wharton who we paid more for. We still need competent linebackers.

35 million for a guy coming off a horrible injury isn't cheap.

aside from the fact he probably had no interest in playing with a bottom dweller at this point in his career.

He's young and suffered the injury in the superbowl. He's still very much a pro bowl linebacker. Terrell Suggs suffered the same injury and went on to play at an elite level for 5 more years

ok now do the part where he wants to play on the worst defense in nfl history at the backend of his career

Which QB will have the better 2025 season?

Sam Darnold in Seattle

Geno Smith in Las Vegas

Justin Fields in New York

Geno.   The Raider OL is pretty good and they have a pretty good TE and pretty good (underrated) WRs.   But I would not rule out Fields--Id run a lot of pistol, R/P option, and build the OL.  He will need weapons.

We definitely need LBs! I do not think we’re done at all. Looks like we’re going edge rushers/linebackers/FS/slot cb in the draft. We’ll see if they make a substantial move at any of those soon. It wouldn’t make a lot of since to go high picks and big money at the exact same positions/slots imo..kinda like the idea of that jack sawyer guy(just from descriptions on here) running around , behind this Dline

    • I have considered free agency.  LT?  Either not good enough or too expensive.  Besides, this is a good OT draft.  (I would rather have a free agent, mind you, but the Panthers' reality suggests we can't do it without neglecting other positions).  What LTs are available in free agency, and what do you expect to pay?  Any Ickey-level OT is going to cost over $20m.   How much do we already have invested in our OL?  I get your point, but I do not think you can spend over $100m per on your OL. We have 2 guards and a right T who pull in about $75m per season.  We don't have a center yet.  Teams just don't let good LTs hit free agency, and when one does on rare occasion, he is expensive.  If you want a third of the Panther cap going to 5 Offensive Linemen, free agency is the way to go.  We still need S, ILB, Edge, WR, etc. I think we'd need more than Nijman--and I would understand if we went free agent for a T--but that is putting a TON of your cap at OL--so considering our situation, I do not see that option as preferable.  You may disagree. If I was not talking LT on our line and thinking about the cap, I would agree 100%.  
    • Will be interesting to see how they come out tonight. The Boston game seemed to open the flood gates of media attention. And it’s not just that they’re playing well, in some instances they are getting compared with all time greats. This is still a young team, and it would be easy for an immature team to lose some focus, buy into their own hype, and think they can coast bit. The Heat are a middle of the road team without their leading scorer. There is no big dragon to slay, no big statement to make. I think we’ll learn a lot tonight: are they young but mature, or do they still have a ways to go mentally?
    • Panthers North for the win. Good luck to him. Great guy, hated to see him leave here, but he's about to work with the best QB he's ever worked with (at least on a regular basis).
