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.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By csx · Posted

      I just dont get the worry over losing a practice squad player that just went undrafted. Everyone just made their selections. The chances of a team wanting to sign him to an active roster after not selecting him is very low.  If that interested they would have taken him late to evaluate in person. As far as I can tell two qbs were signed off another teams practice squad last season and they were both going in to their 5th season.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By frankw · Posted

      I enjoyed reading this thread and the usual banter that follows. The only silver lining I can identify right now is we do actually have a couple of young QB's behind him and we do have a nice roster on both sides of the ball built around the most important position. So if the team overall shows some promise but we still falter largely due to a lack of consistent passing output (again) hopefully the decision makers can be free to make the best decision for the team going forward after the conclusion of this upcoming season.

      I don't really follow the team anymore due to a variety of reasons and consequently have largely stopped posting but I agree that this is a lovely website and community. This forum probably kept me around for years longer than I would've stuck otherwise because of how difficult it was to stop checking multiple times a day. Especially appreciate how lax the moderation tends to be compared to a lot of places, the crew here does a great job. Out of curiousity I decided to try making a new account (solely for testing purposes) to see what exactly is wrong with the sign up process. The issue seems to be that it never sends you an account verification email, thus making it impossible to complete registration. This is likely something to do with the email server upstream, hope it gets fixed. Also, lol
