Jalen Coker

Rozeboom

Yosh Nijman

Cade Mayes

Claudin Cherelus 

Isiah Simmons (Might not be a good LB OR S but he is an amazing special teams player, that blocked punt yesterday was huge)

Brady Christensen- if Icky is out we’re gonna need Yosh and Brady to man down LT

As much as I’m a Nick Scott doubter, he is a solid run defender and our S behind him aren’t the best. Hopefully he would not be a starter next season rather a backup.

JJ Jensen- love that mf

Sam Martin dude was solid all year

Fortunately for us we don't have many guys here that'll break the bank.  Coker will get a decent little contract though.  

Coker is an exclusive rights free agent. Meaning he will be a Carolina Panther next year likely for the league minimum. 
 

That should not stop us from signing him to a long term deal

Yeah I think they're going to lock him down.  Nothing crazy.  Short term $3m/yr deal or so tops.

Icky will be out most of next season and even when he does return he won’t be back to 100 percent. Moton and Lewis are our highest perming/most consistent pieces on our line. No way he’s getting cut or traded.

 

With that being said: 

-Cays (no brainer as he won’t break the bank and if we draft an upgrade at center he will be perfect depth as backup center and guard to replace the role Corbett had.)

-Coker - no brainer 

That’s about it for major priorities that I see that we NEED to re sign. Everyone else we can replace.

I would like to see us re sign for DEPTH (definitely not as a starter):

-Yosh (1 year deal only) 

-D.J

-Rozeboom

-Simmons (special teams)

-Jansen (keep the dream rolling with 1 year deals)

The guys in green, I keep.  Yosh Nijman was quietly very solid for us.  Coker goes without saying.  I think Cade get's mid starting Center 3 year extension.  Everyone else in green has a role, but shouldn't break the bank. 

The guys in blue I would like to have back, but at team friendly deals that won't kill us if we cut them.  We could do worse than having BC and AC as depth linemen.  After Ickey's injury we need a young tackle.  I will take AC, Curhan, and BC (health dependent) as interior back-ups.  In 2027 we draft for depth.  I'm not sure how the contracts for Wonnom and Jones Jr. are structured, but I could see DJW back on a much lower contract.

If Ickey has a torn ACL like I've heard, we are drafting a LT in the first round no questions asked.  I think if we spend a little money on a high caliber LB or draft a solid player in the 2nd or 3rd round Wallace, Cherelus, and Roseboom all have a role as depth pieces.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
