something we should pursue? do we have a second round pick left? he might be worth a first round pick. he's a proven player whereas next years first rounder could be hit or miss.

i would hope we would consider getting involved but i am sure we'll just stick with jarrett.

No, we don't have a 2nd rounder. Next year's 2nd rounder went to take AE this year.

As for us making this move....not even a 1% chance of this happening.

It is not the picks, but the money. We are a run first offense and stout defense team. With the salary cap, I just don't see this team paying premium money for two WR's. The money will be spent elsewhere.

I would LOVE to see us pick up another WR the calibre of Jackson. However, in this offense, a solid #2 is all that is needed. Problem is that we can't seen to even find that.

it would be awesome to pick him up he is only 27 too, on the upside of his career; problem is panthers already have a bunch of WRs they need to test out and I doubt they get him. I wonder how much money he wants maybe they'll settle for a third...

Another wasted thread. How many guys have we signed this year who were malcontents with other teams. How many long term contracts have we given to our own core players other than draft picks?

Yeah I can see us giving a 27 guy a long term contract, especially one who didn't sign his tender and has held out.

No chance in hell we sign him.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      Its completely and utterly bootlicking at this point.  If you cannot acknowledge that using 3 picks on a rb with a torn acl in the 2nd round isnt a bad pick then you simply havent a clue about football.  Sorry man it is what it is.  And its insanely laughable you are trying to strawman this argument using other players.  And what fuging facts are you bringing that is justifing morgan using 3 goddamn picks on him?  I cannot wait to hear that.

      ESPN's Top 10 Impact Rookies(non-1st Round)

      Scourton's interviews are telling to me that it's only a matter of time before he could really put it together.  His limitation tool-wise that I see is in his bend, but at the leaner size, it looks like it wasn't a problem at Purdue.   He has a good moveset and reads leverages very well (vet level well).  Plays both the speed/quickness (great change of direction) and has a power game with good hand usage.  Moves from what I've seen in my digs: I'm seeing cross-chop, fake crossers into bull, bull rush, spin (his preferred move of choice), hand shuck.  He's not unrefined by any means.   If he can do 2 things---I'm feeling confident from seeing his interviews that we have a real dude on our hands: 1) Diversifying his moveset/how it's deployed - Over-reliant on some, but again, he has a growing palette.  And is already great with his hands so things are in-place to coach up. 2) Developing a counter moveset and starting to play the chess game with an OT - He's very good at reading leverage, knowing when to change things up during a play.  But NFL coaching should start to teach him how to really create a plan based on an opponent.  What to throw at a guy first, how to confuse with fakes/counters, etc.  How to play against these tackles as a game progresses.   Overall, he has some things that give me serious optimism: Run Defense, speed moves, power moves, he's super young and has the size/length.  When you really spell it all out, I think we should get excited.  Temper expectations from a stat sheet standpoint, but he should be able to go in and make an impact.
