Can the Carolina Panthers snare QB Andrew Luck?

With Harbaugh likely to come out, I can't imagine Luck staying for a new coach unless he really, really does not like the team picking first.

I think if the NFLPA and owners can't come to an agreement by the deadline for underclassmen to declare for the draft (Mid January) , they will lean towards staying in school.

What makes Harbaugh likely to come out?

Letitia, you naughty, naughty girl- this isn't the draft forum.

The number of job offers he'll get, the rumors he has already told his players, suggest to me he's going to come out. It's not definite but I would be surprised if he didn't.

Plus he already interviewed for an NFL job previously (Jets).

That, to me, is the clearest evidence he's ready to jump.

also, the money he's getting with stanford isn't really something that would hold him back. i saw somewhere he's only getting $1.5mil for the remainder of his contract. he started off there with something like a $750k salary and moving up from there was a hard pill to swallow for stanford. that isn't exactly a football school or area, witnessed by the thousands of empty seats for a 5th place team in the NCAA.

money probably isn't the most important thing in the world to him, but regardless of how little you care about money you don't turn away a job offer that will get you an increase of at least $3-4mil a year.

It will be interesting to see if Luck would even want to be a Panther, I know I am personally biased, but what's wrong with joining a young team, in a relatively temperate climate, in a great area of the country, with huge success for how long the franchise has been around

Being his other choices are three historically aweful franchises... I would guess this would be his best choice. (Arizona, Cincinnati, Buffalo).

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.

      The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
