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 tukafan21 · Posted

      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.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
