Thielen traded

Coker in the slot could be very entertaining

This is what rebuilding looks like. A 4th rounder and no salary? Smart GM.

Long term, I don't hate it.  It's mostly about timing.  Our QB is about to enter his 3rd year and we're selling off the best proven WR we have right before the season starts.  We can't even use the saved salary on anything else to improve the team for this year.

Long term moves are good, but was this really the right timing?  We'll see.

I think Theilan dropped a pass from Bryce in the first preseason game. He is washed, on the decline, over the hill (joking, but not joking.) He's still serviceable. Overall, it's a win-win situation. AT gets to go home, Panthers get a little compensation and we're already loaded at the WR position. AT has been Bryce's fav target but I agree with other Huddlers that if our offense is contingent on a 35 year old WR to be explosive, we are in trouble!

So I guess this mean XL and Coker are starting?

I think TMac and XL are listed as the starters but obviously we will be playing more than 2 WR on most formations so Coker prob is a starter in that aspect.

Let's say you have 1 car.  It has a bunch of miles but it still runs.  Its not worth much but you need a car to get to work, go to the grocery store, etc.  Someone offers you 200 dollars for the car, which is more than anyone else will offer you.  Is that then a deal you would take?

In your scenario you still owe the bank $10M for the car, which the new owner agrees to pay. And you also have a new car that you picked up for pocket change as an UDFA.

It's time to admit Morgan is not a good GM.

Lol what?

I think there are free agents that could replace Thielen's skill set if they want to, but not by week 1. 

Bringing back Renfrow (if he isn't too injured to play) is the right move for now - IF they aren't confident in what we have in the room right now.

lol. This forum. Oh, Noes!

Tmac has NEVER logged a real NFL snap.  Againt #1 corners each week....Tmac could also have a really slow start to the NFL figuring out how to get open which wouldn't free up anything. 

 

He will still be a focus on our offense. We invested a top 10 pick in him so he will get looks and plenty of opportunities.

Some of you are losing your minds over a guy that is no longer (seems he wanted to leave) here.

BY needs to develop with WR’s that are going to be here for much longer than a Vet that was going to leave. If BY 100% needed AT (security blanket) than we have bigger issues than an old WR leaving. It’s time for BY to either be the MAN or we draft a new QB next year with a loaded Offense.

I guess we are not interested in winning now. I do see the positive and negatives. I don't understand cutting Hunter. We need a solid veteran at that position.

Would make sense to cut him for both parties with intent to bring him back. He gets paid to be cut and if they want him back he comes back and gets paid again. It's not risk for panthers by allowing more time and leverage for the AT trade because Renfrow has said he doesn't want to play anywhere else

I actually think that it's a good thing. Bryce has to develop. A QB worth his salt isn't going to be reliant upon a senior citizen (in football years). Actually, it should make the entire receiving corps better. We'll certainly get to see what's what this year without an old security blanket.
