Teams talking to potential draft picks really means nothing. What teams tell them means even less. The kid I coached was told by the Colts (the most honest franchise in football) that if he was there in the 5th they would take him. He fell to the 7th and got drafted by the Seahawks. Colts took another guy at the same position in the 6th.

Teams do not talk to players without some meaning.I thought it was a great post Pantherfan 81.If this guy can improve his speed he will get some looks and most likely be drafted.

what does it matter? not like the kids we draft can even come in after we draft them anyways...

it's not about getting them in to BoA stadium ASAP, it's about signing them and getting them on the training camp roster, whenever training camp is. are they going to be treated like normal free agents, i.e. absolutely no possibility of signing them before a CBA is reached, or is an exception going to be made and teams allowed to sign rookie free agents like they always do? the panthers have traditionally been very aggressive on that front, and i don't know how that is going to work this offseason.

I thought it was obvious we couldnt sign any players to a contract without there being rules to signing players.

I thought Julius Thomas and Luke Stocker both looked good. I'd love to get either (although I still believe Barnidge can be that guy if he's given a chance). DJ Williams also looked good, but I think he's too small to be an all-around TE. That Housler kid got some high marks after the events from some of the analysts, but he didn't impress me and he's too skinny. Virgil Green also looked decent, but I'd rather get Thomas or Stocker. I'm assuming we can't get Rudolph and he didn't participate anyway, nothing to talk about.

dunno. it might be that simple. i wasn't sure, which is why i asked in the first place a month ago. rookie free agents aren't signed to the same type of contracts as drafted players. they are also dealt with differently in subsequent offseasons until they have a certain number of years in the league.

      The Ringer NFC Offseason podcast

      The division is most certainly wide open. The Bucs are a problem but Baker Mayfield is and will remain his own worst enemy it's a matter of when not if he has a bad game or even a stretch of bad games. As far as the Panthers they have done an admirable job of trying to address needs as best they can without pulling a Scott Fitterer and getting desperate which has only made us worse off in the past. On the Bryce subject all anyone can really say at this point is we just have to wait and see. This is the year and despite what the Panthers may say publicly doubling down and going all in on WR is as good as any sign anyone should need that they expect Bryce Young to have a very productive and convincing season. The pieces are in place. They aren't perfect but nothing ever will be. Regardless there's honestly no excuse for this staff and this team not to be able to compete in this iteration of the NFC South. Also just want to say this because I can say the hyper defensive posts already being made in here and it's probably going to be a season with highs and lows again but hopefully more highs for sure. But just because there is dialogue about a position group or a player that challenges your preconceived notions or makes you uncomfortable does not make it "hate" or "anti" this player or that player. For some people who talk a lot about nuance you would think this wouldn't need to be stated but that's where we're at.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      If I was a coach I would preach "Don't let the refs decide the game" because as soon as you let the NFL the chance to help their bottom dollar whether it be teams that make most money or gambling then they will screw the team that doesn't fit their bottom line......is it rigged? No but do they try and make certain narratives happen abso-freakin-lutley. As I stated in a previous thread NFL players are the ones that SHOULD have all guaranteed contracts but the boot lickers on this forum disagree and argue for the billionaires in this world who own these teams, sheep

      I wont go quite so far as to say games are rigged.  You wouldnt have to work hard to convince me there was the occasional thumb on the scale but outright rigged? nah.   but collusion on the rest of the "business" of football, sure.  No one really believes that the only time the 32 owners act as one is during the negotiations of the CBA do they?
