lost the original....very interesting news out of New Orleans....not sure if he's really hurt or just doesn't want to play there.

But check out the cap hit if they make him a post June 1st cut

sorry Captain--did not see the links--just the thread title.  Wonder how this impacts the Panthers at #8?  I am guessing the Saints move up---Jags maybe?

I'm going to go out on a limb and say they run it with Rattler. They committed to Carr, so we know they were already willing to tank for Manning. Could they go up for Sanders, of course. I still think they ride it out this year bc they are trying to get out if contracts and dead cap.

Best thing we can hope for is the Saints move up and pick Sanders

Saw a crazy stat the other day, this is the longest in the offseason that every team has their original first round pick since the mid 90s.  Maybe the Saints will be the first to break it

here's an interesting scenario....Sanders falls to us and no one wants to trade with us except the Saints (they don't know no one else wants to move up).  Do we trade with a division rival?  The trade chart value is a late 4th to move up one with us....if they are desperate, they might offer a third, possibly a 2nd this year or next....do we do it?  Or do we decline and let them get him anyway with the next pick?

QB is a crap shoot....he's fallen some on a lot of boards, but he could be their long term starter

Right? From every angle it's a win.

Not sure if getting more and sending it elsewhere or watching the Saints take Sanders while having to eat Carr's dead money appeals to me more still. Either way win-win for the Panthers

Only thing I'd be worried about is if Walker is sitting there and we trade then they take Walker.  Losing Walker for a third would be hard to swallow, a 2nd i could maybe live with

Could be---I am going to say they trade with Cleveland and take Sanders.   This draft is shaping up to be a fun one.

    • I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!
    • Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.  
    • Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.
