The Ramesy thing doesnt make sense as its only a one year rental.  Seems like an expensive rental.

this is still a David Tepper team.  Which means, we are always yet never rebuilding.   It's like signing Gilmore a couple years back.  We need to be developing players, not renting win now guys when we aren't a win now team.

What could that unknown information possibly be?

The theory most Panthers fans may rush to might involve three-time All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey, who is seemingly on the outs with the Miami Dolphins. Ramsey appears likely to be traded in the coming weeks, and raised some eyebrows with his recent praise of Panthers defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero.

Or perhaps Bates was thinking about another kind of defensive back. The Panthers should still be in the market for a starting safety, and have already met with free agents Julian Blackmon and Marcus Williams earlier this spring.

Or, maybe it's not even a big move at all. Only Bates, and obviously a select few, would know.

But whatever that information is, we may be very close to finding it out.

One of the safeties would honestly make the most sense. Ramsey is the big splash name but a plug and play decent starting safety is a bigger need than a 30 year old mega money CB. Especially after we just made Horn the highest paid DB on the league.

Gilmore was pretty good though

Jalen Ramsey would play CB & FS here imo.

He won't have any guaranteed money after this year. That is really the only thing that would have been a hold up.

As long as we can work out something to make the cap hit palatable for this year (and only give up a Day 3 pick), it seems like a no-brainer.

We have plenty of cap, especially if they restructure Moton.

Ramsey's contract could be restructured for next year if he works out, or he could be like Gilmore and basically a one-year rental for a 6th.

Regardless, either scenario would be worthwhile imo.

The idea that this would be cost-prohibitive or not fit the timeline is nonsense.

Make it happen Dan!

Moton aint getting restructured, yall need to let this go.  And I really dont see any value adding a declining player with a huge cap hit that we would probably cut after the season.  Not sure why we would restructure a huge deal for a 32 year old corner.  It just doesnt make sense.  Morgan has been clear about kicking the proverbial can down the road.  And if you think Ramsey is the missing piece that is going to unlock our defense and help challenge for the division then we can just agree to disagree at that point.  2026 is the season we should take bigger swings.  2025 is about culture and getting our existing players reps and hopefully wins.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
