In order of expected snap count:

McMillan

Thielen

XL

Coker

Horn

Moore

Honestly, after really analyzing this roster again, McMillan is a super investment.  Between him and Coker, that's a very reliable duo and opens up XL's role for better chess playing.  Get XL into the slot to beat out the shorty NBs.

If we can geta Tmac/XL/Coker thing going, that is entertaining as hell.  And if Horn or a guy like him hits in that shiftier role, that's a super complete room.

XL had good hands in college, I think he figures it out this season

Maybe the surgery stuff. Also needs to work on his timing on jump balls, even when wide open he was jumping to body catch stuff. Hopefully he was just compensating for injury or something. Will be interesting to see who other teams determine to put their CB1 on with this WR lineup

I think the jumping was a confidence thing. Once he dropped a couple he was jumping to the ball to try body catch them

Wrist/hand surgery stories came out around/after those issues if I recall so should keep an eye on it. Either way he has the speed etc to make the defense put a guy on him, just dunno if he's gonna get thrown that many balls if he doesn't convince the OC/QB he's gonna come down with it

      Joe Person: Panthers will let Cade Mays test the free agent market

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      If Mays has a market, which it seems he will, he's gone.  I think we bring back Nijman for too much money to be cautious at LT, Corbett comes back cheap since he's already said he wants to live in CLT, and Christensen eventually gets re-signed with the hopes he can be depth at some point.  Draft an OT, draft a C. The OL might be rough for stretches next year, but time to get some youth there to prepare for Bryce in 2027 or the next QB. I still think we compete for the division in 2026 and can go back to the playoffs unlike the oddsmakers in Vegas, but the *real* year is 2027 IMO. Either Bryce has proven it and he's the QB looking at his 2nd contract, or we have the ready-made team for the next rookie QB or Vet we trade for.

      Joe Person: Panthers will let Cade Mays test the free agent market

      By Leeroy Jenkins Ph.D. · Posted

      The Panthers are going to have a lot more flexibility in free agency than it looks like at first glance. On paper, the cap space might seem tight, but there are several obvious restructure candidates that could easily free up significant room. Between converting base salaries into signing bonuses and spreading cap hits out over future years, Carolina could realistically clear $60–80 million in additional space if they wanted to be aggressive. That kind of flexibility means they’re not stuck. They can extend key young pieces, add help along the offensive line, upgrade the defense, and still be strategic about value signings. Letting Cade Mays test the market makes sense from a leverage standpoint. If he’s willing to come back on a team-friendly deal, great, continuity on the line matters. But if his market price climbs, the Panthers should absolutely explore upgrades. The point is, this front office isn’t boxed in. With cap maneuvering and smart structuring, they have the ability to be active players in free agency rather than sitting on the sidelines like we are used too.
