Of course, but not winning the Super Bowl doesn’t automatically make this a poor deal. If Parsons wins DPOTY each of the next four years, I wouldn’t view the contract as a failure. 
 

To me, there are two ways this contract isn’t a massive failure:

1) win a Super Bowl

2) Parsons is the most dominant defensive player over the next 4 years

I think GB is happy if he has another 50-60 sacks over the next 4 years. lol 

 

I still wouldn't have done it except for a handful of teams. Way too much money for a non QB unless you have a bonafide star QB on a rookie contract and are already on the doorstep of the Superbowl.

Remember when Gettleman yanked the tag off of Norman right before the draft and it just gutted our locker room and pretty much tanked our season before it even got started? Yeah, the timing on this move is way worse than that. This is being done basically on the eve of the season kicking off. Not only is the locker room getting shocked but now you have the coaching staff pretty much recreating their game plans. I guarantee you everyone in the organization fully expected Parsons to be there

Washington comes to mind

GB thinks they have that in Love. Maybe they do maybe they don't. We'll see how it plays out. Ultimately it's all about the results on the field in the way of wins, losses, and ultimately rings. If they win a SB in the next few years it was obviously worth it.

Underrated point. And I can definitely see the same thing happening in Dallas.

The Norman thing was so stupid. And I think (rightfully) it was the beginning of the end for Gettleman

Just looked up that he went to Washington. Damn, besides a deep playoff run last year, they are basically the opposite of what the Buffalo Bills are to us. Taking the worst former Panthers

Ummmmm Chinn and Luvuu have worked out pretty well so far

Luvu is viewed by a lot of people as a top 10 linebacker, and we said no thanks.

Dre Greenlaw is viewed by a lot of people as a top 10 linebacker, has been getting raved about in Denver camp, was a unrestricted FA looking for a starting spot, and we said "we'd rather give a backup DT more money"

Two extremely puzzling decisions considering our 32nd ranked LB core and our GM is a freaking ILB, but I guess it's possible that both really didn't want to come/stay here

Unfortunately it looks like our idiot defensive staff sees Wharton as a starting nose tackle..... which is insane when we have no less than three far better options at Nose Tackle

At first I thought man we should have done that. but the more I think about it the more at peace I am with us not doing this. First off, we don't really have a player in the Kenny Clark realm. They likely would have wanted either Jaycee or DB and I wouldn't have done that plus two firsts. 

Second, while I am very excited for this season its entirely possible it all goes to hell and there is truly nothing worse than watching a shitty team and knowing you don't have your first round pick

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By frankw · Posted

      I like what Freeling brings to the table all around. If he is willing to put in the work he has an opportunity to be one of the better Tackles in the league down the line. Hunter Brazzell and Hecht are all premium additions but development from our staff are the key to unlocking them. Hopefully Lee and Wheatley will provide much needed additional depth to our secondary. Beyond that it's important not to get too caught up in draft grades. Many drafts over the years that turned out to be really good were not fawned over with praise. While some that were ended up being historical duds. Panthers fans ought to know this as well as anyone. In conclusion...

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.
