NFL execs on the Panthers offseason

From Mike Sando in The Athletic:

Carolina Panthers
Added: $53.4M (8th) | Lost: $14.9M (29th) | Differential: $38.5M (5th)

With quarterback Bryce Young making strides in 2024 while the Panthers’ defense plummeted 10 spots to No. 32 in EPA per play, Carolina signed four defensive free agents from other teams to deals worth at least $7 million per year. That tied New England for the most by any team in free agency this offseason (Buffalo was third with three).

“They got a little better, but they are still working from a deficit,” an exec said. “They were a three-year reset from last year, so this is just year two for them.”

Carolina, like Arizona, lost out on Eagles defensive lineman Williams when New England outbid everyone, signing him to a deal worth $26 million per year. The Panthers presumably wanted to stay below the $24 million average for their own defensive lineman, Derrick Brown, and the $25 million figure for Jaycee Horn, the cornerback Carolina recently extended.

The Panthers instead bolstered their defensive front with Tershawn Wharton ($15 million APY) and Bobby Brown ($7 million APY), whose combined APY was $22 million.

“It was easier for New England to do that with Milton Williams than it would have been for Carolina,” another exec said. “Wharton is smaller than Williams but had similar production.”

Quick FYI: Been super busy this year so I haven't been online much but I'm still around and doing okay for the moment 🙂

I have been thinking about you my friend. I'm glad to see you back online and bringing something worth reading on here. There's not been much to read about concerning the team. They are getting better and keeping a lid on things so far.

Been wondering about you. Glad to hear you're doing fine. 

The Panthers are the Panthers, so no need to get overly excited or overly nonplussed. It's a wait-and-see approach, like we've become accustomed to. One day during the 2020s, maybe we'll finally get to say, "They know what they're doing." Until then, who knows?

This is something I have been repeatedly trying to warn Panther fans of. This is gonna be a pretty bad team next season.

The W's and L's are going to matter less(to a point) than if we start to look like the bones of a functional roster emerge. 

There is no quick fix coming. This is going to take time and a healthy dose of competent roster building to turn around.

Yep, and if we keep whiffing on our first and second round draft picks, what we do in free agency wont really matter.

Vashti said on the KB show heads would roll and fans should be upset at only 6/7 wins

      Not a Moore fan-but he had a few good games last year-but I want players that scare you--Renfrow's route running and intelligence, Legette's size, speed, and strength, AT's intelligence and route running, Coker's body control, strong hands, and abilty to win contested catches, and TMac's size, body control, and ability to find soft spots in zone coverages.  Horn gives them the ability to stretch the field and he plays special teams.   Moore has a nice smile and can dance.  He filled in well last season, but to get better as a team, you have to upgrade your players.  I think Moore is a bottom of the roster guy who got bumped when we drafted 2 WRs and signed a legit free agent.  Here is the thing--TMac makes us better because he is great against the zone--man?  Good luck with that.  AT's role can be reduced, and that is probably a good thing.  He can specialize in situational football. Coker?  Just getting started. XL?  Just getting started.  Drafting TMac was probably a bit of a wake up call, but XL will be better as the 2. Renfrow?  I see him splitting reps with AT--keeping both fresh and giving different looks. Horn?  Watch the safety cheat his side when he is in the game--I see a young Steve Smith type in him, but he has yet to play a game.  I hear that Morgan loves him.
