RUMOR: Panthers possibly making an addition in the secondary

[Basbear]

Why Ramsey? Is Horn already hurt or something?? 

Hes talking about the FSU kicker missing everything, is my guess.

Horn is 1 CB. You kinda need 3-4 CBs.

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

Ramsey will play in the league another 3 years minimum, personally I think he has potentially 5 or more left in him. His game was never very reliant on speed, he is a physical run defender who can always transition to safety.

You don't pay a 32 year old corner 25 million a year.   There is an out after 25

He’s 30

We will probably trade for a Browns CB

He turns 31 in Oct.   He has an out after this season.  If he stays on his current contract its at 25 million per and he would turn 32 during that season

 

You dont pay 32 year old corners 25 million dollars.  So in all likelihood its a one year rental.

I trust that the front office and Brandt tilis would workout a reworked contract before we'd make a trade. Those future cap hits are brutal and we have to think about extending Ickey and Bryce in a couple years.

An impact player coming in may be correct, but I heard nothing in that feed to indicate it. 
 

just my opinion and I’m often wrong though

 Respectfully man I think you’re making a lot of assumptions, granted this whole situation is a total hypothetical. I get where you’re coming from, paying an older corner is not always ideal. But my simplest rebuttal would be any sort of extension would likely buffer that $25 million. And at the same time if he was extended it would likely mean he’s still playing at an elite level, which he is currently playing at. Along with the fact even worst case scenario he walks, we would likely recoup a similarly equivalent comp pick in the next years draft. Trading for Jalen would be an educated risk, personally I lean towards I think it would make sense. Due to the fact that we still have Bryce on his rookie deal and it gives us the flexibility to be a bit more aggressive with roster construction. And I view CB as probably our second biggest weakness outside of Safety currently.

I just don't think the team has to take a swing on an expensive CB unless Horn is already hurt or if JR will play free safety in that black hole of tallent at thst position. 

It would be a terrible sign if they spend draft capital on buying an older and expensive CB, anything before a 6th really. This team is trying to hit .500 for the first time in years and still wouldn't be a contender with JR on the roster. They have 2 good CBs and the young guys have to step up or this build is going nowhere.
