Some WR options...

It's obvious we need another WR, while Gettis looks promising he just isn't a number two. I spent some time during class today looking at NFL rosters and possible realistic players the Panthers could target if they wanted to. Forget it people Vincent Jackson isn't coming here. While only one of these guys is a number two receiver on their team they would all easily be the best option after Smitty. I have no clue if the Panthers are looking at trade options to upgrade WR but if they aren't they should be. So heres my list....

James Jones or Jordy Nelson: Green Bay Packers, even though James Jones cost his team a win last night with a costly fumble his ability cant be questioned. Jordy Nelson is a playmaker who could not only help us at receiver but also provide valuable experience at Special Teams. Both would be fair compensation for Tyrell Sutton I think.

Jacoby Jones: Houston Texans, Jacoby Jones is an explosive playmaker who doesn't get enough opportunities because of players like Andre Johnson, Kevin Walter and Owen Daniels. He could instantly take pressure from Smith because he has deep speed and "Smitty like" playmaking ability.

Anthony Gonzalez: Indianapolis Colts, with the emergence of Pierre Garcon and Austin Collie as playmakers in the Colts offense Gonzalez may have become expendable. While he would take more to get being a recent first round choice he could certainly upgrade our offense with his crisp routes and above average hands.

Mike Sims-Walker: Jacksonville Jaguars, watching the Jaguars this year one thing is for certain. Sims-Walker is not David Gerrard's go to receiver anymore, that distinction belongs to the emerging Mike Thomas. With Jacksonville being dedicated to running MJD they may be willing to part with MSW if the price is right. While it would take something of value to get him he would provide a physical target for Clausen that could remind us of the good old days with 2003 Moose and Smitty.

Devin Thomas: Washington Redskins, Thomas must be in Shannahan's doghouse or something. Thomas has a nice combination of speed and size and is a Sims-Walker light. He has yet to tally a catch on the season and could probably be had for next to nothing.

Deon Butler: Seattle Seahawks, with Pete Carroll's commitment to Mike Williams and Deion Branch and the coaching staffs desire to get Golden Tate the ball Butler could more then likely be taken off their hands. He is a young receiver who brings current experience but he should also continue to progress.

So that's what I came up with, no huge names that make you go oooo outside of Sims-Walker and he's probably the least obtainable of all of them but a lot of nice options. My personal favorites are the two GB receivers or Deon Butler. Feel free to post your own if you would like, hopefully the FO will try and make a move to bring more talent in....

Jacoby Jones - didnt he just have a beast game

And it could be Kevin Walter next week in that offense. Anybody can be traded for the right price. He's a guy that shouldn't warrant anything higher then a 3 so to me he's an option...

    • Didn't know where to post this but it is panthers relevant since eventually we'll have a couple wr in Coker and tmac that will get paid. Jaxon Smith-njigba just signed a 4 year $168.6 million contract extension that now makes him the highest paid wr in nfl history. For now
    • Would be happy with Lomu or Iheanachor at 19. Fano is intriguing but I don't think he makes it.
    • II see it this way: We have to look at long-term needs and current depth.  We have filled some key spots with players on one-year contracts.  I firmly believe that they intend to pay Bryce some big bucks next year.  That means you cannot hope that your rookies in 2027 can fill the spots vacated by the veterans you could not afford to re-sign.   We need to consider the cap and the fact that the need to start a rookie is not viewed as a positive by coaches and general managers, but they value first contracts--so it is a delicate balance. I think they have to look at the cap by position--"Can we afford a $50m QB and a $100m OL?  That is half the cap, before you pay your WRs and RBs and TEs.  They need to start getting younger on the OL as well.   I am not suggesting that we draft OT in round 1, but we could and I would get it.  RT on a 1-year deal, they may have intel about Ickey (who was not the best LT, to be honest) and 32-year old Moton is on a bad wheel.   Now if you go by Morgan's history, you can almost tell what position we are going to address with the first pick by noting the positions he has not focused on in free agency.  DT, considering the lack of performance by those not named Derrick Brown and the loss of Robinson, is screaming to be addressed with a top player.  Wharton is not an early down DT (DE if you want to get technical) and our LBs need to be clean--they were not in 2025.  Look for a DT early. I also think we will address ILB (pass covering Will) on day 2.  The other day 2 pick will be an OT, in my view. Do not rule out CB.  We are thin there too, and Jackson is in his final year.  I am not sure that we love Smith-Wade.  Some crackhead on here talked about moving him to S----stay tuned.   Hopefully, a team wanting Ty Simpson will move up and offer us a pick or two to move back. DT WILB OT OC QB  (you heard it here 337th--but this pick could come sooner than you think.
