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.

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      https://nfltraderumors.co/2026-nfl-draft-grades-for-all-32-teams/      Grade: B+ Best Pick: Sam Hecht Biggest Reach (consensus rank): Jackson Kuwatch (NR) It's easy to love what Carolina did. The Panthers traded four times but ended the draft with the same number of selections that they started with and in approximately the same ranges. They did not take a player ahead of the consensus until Kuwatch at No. 227, and it's easy to see how he fell through the cracks playing at Miami of Ohio. He's a high-end athlete, though, and has a chance to develop, which is a fine profile for a seventh-rounder. Freeling and Brazzell also checked the high-end athleticism upside boxes for the Panthers. Carolina let the board come to them in the first round and could have a long-term solution at left tackle, which is a hard position to fill. Brazzell slid because of some maturity concerns as well as the difficulty in projecting receivers from Tennessee's Mickey Mouse offense. At 6-4, 200 pounds and 4.37 in the 40, though, the upside is undeniable. On top of that, the landed three starters on Day 3. Normally that's a high and unrealistic bar, but Hecht and Wheatley were both firmly inside the top 100 on the consensus board and have paths to win starting competitions. Lee fits the scheme well and has some interesting traits as an outside corner. What stopped me from a full-out A grade is not loving the Hunter pick, though he does fill a need to replace DT A'Shawn Robinson. There were prospects at other needs positions I would have been more jazzed about. The Brazzell pick is also an interesting risk for a team that's still in building mode, even coming off an NFC South title. Still, I'm nitpicking

      I was just a teenager when I joined in 2013. I've loved the many opinions on this forum, even though several are infuriating. I've had several bad takes, myself,  that I've hopefully grown out of over the years.
