Am I the only one thats a little upset that we gave Moose #87 to David Clowney. Now this is not a shot at Clowney, he has been given a great oppurtunity here as well as Thomas b/c they're going up against rookies for roster spots. I just think/believe in a little more loyalty. Moose has been great for us for so many years, I just think that its a little disrepectful to give his number away all willy nilly like that. If we aren't going to retire a players number that has earned it, then at least we should hold on to it for a while. At least then it will look like we really respected him. What you guys think bout this?

Well maybe it is just me. Moose proved himself time and time again with us. I believes that he deserved a little more respect. I think that respecting/honoring players builds character within the organization. That is something that I think NFL players would and do appreciate, but it can't be appreciated if its not being done. All the little things matters and I think that this is one of those little things!

that's what happens when you have a team that has managed to stay mediocre for most of it's existence and has only a few players that were consistently above average who were here for a long time.

there isn't one player that has been on the team for more than a couple years who i would consider HoF material. a couple have been close but in the long run they will only be footnotes. some might have to do with their surroundings but oh well.

imo, it's a sad state of affairs when there is even a thought that moose's #87 should be retired or even held back. might have been a fan favorite but i don't think we have all that high of a set of standards. i mean people got upset at losing an old and increasingly injury prone FB that took 8 years of playing before he turned anywhere close to relevant. dwayne jarrett had his own fan club.

it's a culture of mediocrity and john "all i want to be is a little better than average" fox did nothing to help it.

      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.
