Rumor Mill on ESPN says that Palmer could find a home here

Take it with a grain of salt. it's a rumor, nothing more, nothing less, but here's what ESPN rumors has to say aboot us and our QB situationi:

We wrote Wednesday that the Carolina Panthers could be among the teams that would pursue quarterback Carson Palmer, in the event that he parts ways with the Cincinnati Bengals this offseason.

Because of the team's uncertain situation at quarterback, and rookie Jimmy Clausen's failure to establish himself as the Panthers' sure-fire QB of the future (not that he's had much help), it's conceivable that the Panthers could be in the mix to land any number of QBs through free agency, trades or the draft.

The draft could become a particularly intriguing situation for Carolina if it lands the No. 1 overall pick, and Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck leaves school early to enter the draft. As ESPN's Adam Schefter writes, the Panthers will have an easy situation to make if that's what ends up happening (see below).

Adam Schefter

Gotta take Luck

"If Luck comes out, it's game over. He will go No. 1, you can put it down in pencil. To Carolina. To Buffalo. To Cincinnati. To a team that wants to trade up. To whoever. End of discussion. And if my team had the No. 1 pick, and it had the chance to take a potential franchise quarterback, it would be insane to pass it up."

Palmer hasn't been the same since his injury in the playoffs 2 years ago.

He's damage goods, in my eyes. Now maybe a change of scenery will do him well. Maybe it won't. I wouldn't want the team to trade anything higher than a 5th, maybe a 4th round pick.

the fact taht we'd have to give up any pick AND pick up that contract makes it really something i don't want to do.

only way we get him is if he gets cut. trading for him....nah. not worth it at all.

we need a vet to help with mentoring luck or whoever, but we don't need to give up that for it.

      Umm yeah. When did he get it done at the right time? I seem to remember a 4-6 finish and needing Atlanta to win our way into the playoffs but whatever.

      I mean....no lies detected. See above. We have traded a fortune to draft a guy #1 overall that people have lowered standards for to the point that not playing like Jimmy Clausen and looking like a poor man's Kyle Allen occasionally is worthy of a contract extension making him one of the highest paid QB's in the league. That is cope on steroids.

      summary: "let's talk about your draft, what did you think about Freeling" Dan:   guys with a huge upside, can come in and compete to start.  High ceiling "he does what for your offense?" Dan:   it's hard to find left tackles, guys that big and athletic.  We have Icky coming off an injury, we signed Walker, I believe your offensive line can never be too strong.  If we're going to win the game, it's gotta be up front on both sides of the ball, so we make a point of emphasis on making both sides of the front as strong as possible. "how many mocks did you see Monro falling to you." Not many times, left tackles are gonna go a lot earlier than when we took him.  We want to add the best player, in free agency or the draft"  that's our philosophy, to get the best players possible. "Hunter and Brazzell." Dan:  we followed the board.  Lee we felt very highly of him , super strong.  Brazzel so flexible and loose, can open the verticle.  Will Lee we held in high regard. "you take a look at your receiver room, Coker, my goodness, your offensive rookie of the year in Tet.  Lost Rico, but there is Jonathan Brooks. " Brooks coming off two knee injuries, he worked his way back, looking great, fully healthy, will help in pass and run game.  Icky, not sure when he's coming back but we're excited about both "plan on extending Bryce" we'll keep talking, will keep internally.  We believe in him, has such a great grasp of Canales and offense, has improved every year. "he's clearly come back from the benching, the arrow is trending up, where does he feel" Bryce knows where we stand with him, when and if a deal gets done, he knows we feel great with him, we'll get something done at the right time. "if this a prove it situation?" everyone in the building has to prove it, has to earn it. Tmac was everything we wanted, his work ethic, he's so big and talented, but he puts the work in, and is a great teammate. "your level of expectation, the building's level of expectation for 2026 "our goal is to win the division every year, we know we have to earn it.  we have to put the work in every day, proving it on the practice field, and our  guys know that." "schedule" we haven't opened at home in 2 or 3 years.  We love prime time games, hope we get some "
