You would. But this regime has bent over backwards to surround our #1 pick with top end talent after early on bloviating about not needing to invest so much around him because he's that good. So there's only so much to go around. Especially when we are 4th in OL spending.

I get it but I dont think there is an excuse for it to be absolute poo. Weakened maybe. But not this bad.

Our ILB position is dog poo. You would think that would be a strength with Morgan at GM.

Not necessarily, if anything, I think there is an argument to be made that it's the least important position in football, so I don't take issue with them leaving it for last during this re-build.

Honestly the only position I think you could argue is less important to have studs is RB.  

Today's NFL is about the passing game.  So you need the QB and WRs, as well as the OL to protect and give time for your passing game.  While the opposite is true on defense, that you need the pass rush and secondary to be your strongest units to defend against the pass.

There is a reason you don't see MLB's get drafted early in the 1st Round unless they're a true generational talent, like a Kuechly.

Terrible news all around. Concussion demon takes another panther- Luke, oher, and now jewell. Panthers seemed to want to re-do the contract and Jewell didn't want too, that's a sign that he's retired for good. 

 

I've already arm-chair GM this, its bad. Just nothing on the market, not even a Cloweny-like cut waiting for the right team.

Trade wise, another big bad. Jags may have two- former 1st round Lloyd .

Member the CJ Henderson trade, Panthers sent a 3rd- Chad Muma was used on that pick. He's done near nothing, but listed as LB and  he's in the last year of deal. Jags drafted two MLBs this yr.

Drew Sanders from broncos former 3rd coming off a torn ach......ugh he's young!

Channing Tindall of the phins, another 3rd rounder in the final year without doing much..

Brian Asamoah of the Viking, 3rd rounder in the final year without doing much.......

 

 

Cuts seemed to be the best path, by far. I don't know if Dan should trade swap 6th for one of those 3rd round duds and a 7th. 

 

 

Panthers are going to need a huge surprise from Bam Martin, windom(statered some last yr), or the other UDFA Nomura. 

That's the best hope right now, someone on the current roster shows up and shocks everyone while they take over a starting MLB job.

Kyzir White is available 

I overlooked him, yea this guy has produced every stop he's been at for the last few years. 29 years old, unlike the 33-34 names unsigned. 

Anyone have his PFF coverage grade??

 

 Pro Football Focus (PFF) also gave him a 48.8 overall grade for the season, placing him 156th out of 189 qualified linebackers......

sounds like a panther to me!!111!!

still like to see his coverage grade..........I hope there's a sleeper LB already on the roster...

      Recommended free agent targets from roppster report

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I am not worried about the contracts because any/all can be jettisoned in 2027 with minimal ramifications. I would like to land him because you rarely ever see an elite, 25 year old center hit free agency, this is a very weak center class and Mays is a bottom quarter starting center(love him as a utility IOL).  Ideally this offseason we solve center and draft a high caliber RT/LT to fill the gap for Ikey. Then next offseason, pending outcome of the rookie and Ikey's recovery you can jettison Hunt(VASTLY overpaid), make a determination on Ikey's ability to play(perhaps extend him on the franchise tag as a "prove it"), and let the Ikey/rookien situation dictate Moton. He can be extended on a LOWER cost deal or jettisoned if Ikey and the rookie can take the reigns. Either way, both OT's will need to be resolved, we need an actually starting caliber NFL center again and we need to get rid of one of these OG's. Hunt is the obvious choice as Lewis is substantially better across the board and cheaper.

      I’m just not impressed with these hires/openings

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      That's not a thing. If they can't find someone, they either aren't actually trying or it's a poisonous job and no one will.  Yes, plenty of them have gone with whom they wanted already. That's not really the point of the rule. It's to force teams to provide opportunities. It has worked well because coaches that wouldn't normally be given interviews are given that experience and teams have also been impressed enough to either offer them in the future or pass positive comments along to other NFL owners/front office personnel.  Also, we are over 20 years into the Rooney Rule. This isn't some new thing teams have to navigate.

      Canes vs Blackhawks 7pm

      I mean, as soon as Svech scores on the guy, trot out your best shooters while the goalie is still in his head and go for the kill.  Last night made absolute zero sense.
