I always liked hunter. Seems like he could get open in the middle of the field but not a vertical threat that we probably need.

I know he didn't play last year after some bad injuries the previous year.  He is only 29 but there is risk that he may not recover back to where he was.  I'd be happy with him if the risk is very low from the cap perspective.

would be an interesting cheap depth signing but he didn't play last year and although there were some claims he was "retired" I think it was due to lack of legit interest from around the league

Smoke screen. Carolina does not sign Clemson Tigers bro. Isn't Hunter from SC? Maybe he was just stopping by on his way home. 

We don't DRAFT Clemson guys, we occasionally will sign a free agent from there.  Just last season DeShawn Williams was on the team.  Ray-Ray McCloud had a cup of coffee with the Panthers a few years ago.

Patriots linebacker and captain Ja'Whaun Bentley says goodbye

New England Patriots linebacker Ja'Whaun Bentley is saying goodbye. Bentley, a three-time captain on the Patriots, is expected to be released later today after spending seven years in New England, per ESPN.

"Thank you for everything," Bentley wrote. "It's been a blessing."

Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes indicated that the team was going to pick up the fifth-year option for star wideout Jameson Williams. As for the longer term, well, that's where things aren't as concrete, particularly with a pricey WR market.

"Look, his fifth-year option, it's looking likely that we'll go ahead and just pick that up," Holmes told the Detroit Free Press' Dave Birkett. "But in terms of extension, again, there's a lot of extensions that are hopefully coming, but it's just one that you just don't know what's going to happen from a financial standpoint cause a wide receiver, it's expensive. It's very expensive.

"So, look, these are good problems."

One indication the Falcons could still trade Cousins rather than keep him is they didn't restructure his contract, which would push the money he is owed into future years.

The Falcons currently have the fifth-lowest amount of cap space available in the NFL ($10.6 million). Cousins has a $40 million cap hit in 2025, but the Falcons could save $27.5 million against the cap if they trade him after June 1.

A pre-June 1 trade would save the Falcons $2.5 million. Penix, the No. 8 pick in the 2024 draft, is entering offseason activities as the top quarterback on Atlanta's depth chart.

    • Why do you say that. What leads you to think that we, as supporters, think his ceiling is 10-12. That's a ridiculous assumption on your part. The Seahawks won the SB with Darnold passing for 25 TD's, 14 Ints with a 99.1 rating for the season.  The Panthers with Young were at 23 TD's, 11 Ints and a 78.8 rating for the season. Not that far off. The problem with all the Young discourse around here is the assumption that the QB is the sole determining factor for a teams success. That just isn't true and it's certainly not how Morgan and Tilis are building the Panthers. 
    • Do we pay based on how many wins or how many games Bryce led us to wins? We've spent quite a bit on defense this year and hopefully they're much improved. If the Panthers do get to 10 wins, but Bryce has another year like last year where he showed up big in a couple, was present in a few, and forgettable in most, do we still pay him 50m per year?  I keep bringing it up because I think it's relevant, but Bryce was outplayed by a 6m per year backup last year. I don't see how it's possible to pay a top tier QB contract to someone who's putting up backup QB production. 
    • I understand tempering expectations, but there are some issues with his points. Walker was a 3 year starter, but Green Bay let him walk and no other team was quick to snatch him up. That says something. Freeling will compete to start. With Hunter, we rotate our linemen and even 5th round pick Cam Jackson played some meaningful snaps last year. Both Brown III and Wharton have underwhelmed since we picked them up. Hunter is a run plugger that we have needed. Hunter will play early, even if he isn't the "starter." Brazzell was described as one of Canales' favorite prospects in the draft and he has a speed element we have been missing. I think Canales is going to have plays drawn up with Brazzell on the field just out of pure excitement. It will be up to Brazzell to prove he can handle it, though. If he can, he will play. As far as our secondary picks, yeah they have to earn their stripes and Evero tends to lean on veterans. So they might take time, but if they can show they can play, they will see the field. Smith-Wade and Ransom did. Sam Hecht simply has to show he can handle the mental side of the NFL game. If he can, he is in a direct competition with Fortner, who's also relatively young, but also on his 3rd NFL team and doesn't have the power profile of Hecht.  I can appreciate that Gantt wants to pour cold water on what was perceived as an impactful draft, but facts are facts.
