Won't count under the cap if he isn't one of the top 51 salaries

Exactly 

Unless he makes the 53 roster then it means we get a bargain of a player.

Anyone who's tyat concerned about cap at all should sound  a little timecto understand it.

If Moore is cut, we need to bring in another vet to replace him.

I think we’ve learned that if we’re relying on David Moore, we’ve got a problem. Youth can be a problem, too, but at least it promises to fix itself with time.

This has to be Thielen's last season.  Somebody has to fill that void.  The pups have one season to get up to speed.

I still think we should have drafted a corner.  Still pretty thin there. Unless an UDFA makes the roster, we might have to sign a veteran off the street.

I was a bit surprised too.  Smith-Wade at nickel is probably not the answer, but he would be good depth.  At the end of the season, they played Bartholomew and Evans, and both were decent. That is their depth.  Looks like they brought in Mike Reid from SDSU and Corey Thornton from Louisville--giving him a big bonus to sign.  Do they have a S they plan to play nickel?

About the draft:

I liked the value for Ransom.  I think he is going to be a starter day 1.

I liked the addition of a big, tall, in-line TE with good hands and decent speed.  Red Zone.

I like the fact that they addressed WR, but I am not sure I would have taken Tet and I know I would not have taken Horn.  With the current roster, I would have taken a WR early and then added an UDFA later.

I would not have drafted a RB in any round.  We have 2 good ones and can find a third holding a cardboard sign on the street corner.  We are 3 deep at RB and have zero depth at CB behind our injury-prone $100m man.

With our current roster, I am not sure that I would have double dipped at Edge, unless they knew Clowney and maybe Johnson were gone.  Jones is meh and Wonnum is an 8-sack guy when healthy.  Scourton (and I was like "WTF?" has the ability to be a 10-sack guy.  Princely will be a designated pass rusher, I suppose.  Cam Jackson is a guy I just knew they would draft late; a good backup for Brown.

Princely and Cam seemed like they were two guys that the team had zeroed in on early in the process, especially Cam Jackson. He was one of the first prospects I had heard the team was looking into.

My post has nothing to do with Moore playing, it’s just about having more then 1 WR on the team that has more than 1 season of experience.

I’m sure Thielen is a great mentor, but it would be hard to mentor 5-6 other WRs all season by himself.

CB, ILB, and of course FS (hopefully Blackmon is coming)

He's gotta be better than Jack Plummer though right? From what I just watched he at least has some pocket awareness and good mobility.

I think once you get down to the 3rd stringer for basically any team it's already a lost cause. I would like to see us draft someone eventually but there is really no sense in that with about 35-40 other positions that need to be fixed first.

I get and agree that you need some vets, but the coaches have to play a major role too. Thielen is a consummate professional.  I do think moore makes the team and I think the udfa wr makes the practice squad so that leaves us with nalo, thielen, x, Coker, Moore and horn

I definitely don't mind the edge rusher double dip. I still see free safety as a massive hole but it's been massive hole for the Panthers forever outside of the brief Deon Grant period. We've just never valued safeties who are primarily deep third over the top guys. I wish we did but we don't so I'll just hope that it works out. We've certainly fielded elite defenses without one so we know it can be done.

      Why do people think Bryce Young won this game yesterday?

      By Mage · Posted

      Who is "they"?  Who in the media still argues that Bryce Young could reach the levels that people thought he would before the draft? I mean, nobody is going to come outright and bash the kid.  By all accounts he's a good dude and I think that is why you don't see the media come after him like they did Zach Wilson.

      It started during the Denver game after that first drive. i don’t think the panthers got a first down again until the fourth quarter.

      QB 2026 (For the Young Haters)

      By Mage · Posted

      The Panthers will finish with at least 7-8 wins.  So that leaves them with only two "smart" choices in my opinion: 1. Sign a reasonably priced free agent QB and see if they are better than Bryce Young in training camp - The issue is there will be very little options.  There is almost no way the Colts let Daniel Jones walk.  Rodgers, Flacco, and Wilson will likely retire (and is Wilson better than Bryce anyway?).  Winston is under contract with the Giants for another year.  That leaves Mariota, which I'm all for, but the Commanders will make a big push to keep him given Daniels' injury history.  Outside of him, there is literally nobody else. 2. Stick with Bryce Young for one more year - Nobody wants this to happen, but the Panthers won't be in a position to draft one in the first round and it isn't a strong class to begin with.  Mendoza, Simpson (and do we really want an Alabama QB?), and Moore will likely all be off the board by the time we pick.  Bryce isn't good, but we are still 5-4.  I'd rather continue to build the rest of the team than reach for a QB.  Then we could set ourselves up nicely in 2027 to make a splash play if we choose.  This is how we should have approached years past; stuck with Kyle Allen or Sam Darnold or Teddy Bridgewater and kept building the team until we were ready to make a splash.  But every year we panicked and did something stupid. There is the idea you could throw a dart at a guy in the later arounds, but IMO this just isn't a good QB class and odds are it will be a wasted pick.  I still think we need a lot of depth on the defense.  I'd rather focus there.
