I think getting Higgins in much more likely, but even that would take a truckload of money.

Yeah, either Cincy is really going to work hard to keep this all together or they have dramatically miscalculated and it's going to end really poorly.

Someone who broke most of the signings today before the media announced them is saying the Panthers are trying to trade for Ja’marr Chase. 

That random kid is talking about Tee not Chase

Money would not be an issue to Tepper unlike that cheapskate Bengals owner. I’d worry about the massive compensation we would have to give up, multiple 1st rounders

Per Mike Kaye 

My view on today with some quick Kaye's Takes:

- Re-signing the starting CBs through 2026 is good stability, even if Jackson's contract doesn't prohibit you from investing a high pick in another CB.

- Moehrig is exactly what the #Panthers needed from a tone-setting perspective at safety. He's an excellent run defender and has a nose for the ball as a playmaker.

- Wharton and Brown complement each other, really. Brown is the two-down run defender, while Wharton can play a few different positions as an interior pass rusher. They can rotate. Carolina clearly wants to use DL platoons, and their additions help that with DB and AR.

- Jones fits the opportunistic model of free agency. Get a guy off this rookie deal with upside and flashes and see if he can be a bigger contributor in your scheme. Good size and mid-20s. I get it even if it's seemingly underwhelming at edge on Day 1.

i honestly feel like that jackson signing means we are going high on CB in draft.

Josh Klein: 

Utilizing restraint and not letting their top free agent or trade target go because the compensation got too high was not something the Panthers were doing two years ago. 

When your job is on the line, you make moves to appease your boss and for short term success.

Having a multi-year plan and sticking to it is a recipe for (dare I say it) sustained excellence. 

You need to hit on the players you bring in, but I am a big believer that good process leads to good results most of the time.

The last 24 hours was good process, imo.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
