Multiple key guys we need to retain.

We are now officially at the beginning of the crossroads though. Unlike the Texans who already have a stout defense built up we need to invest a great deal of resources into our defense. Can't pay everybody retain and improve our OL and potentially extend our young quarterback to a $100+ million contract as well. Tough decisions are going to need to be made. And the days of wanting only the best around him are about to be in the rearview.

Brady Christensen...

Last game of 2022, broke his ankle.

First game 2023, tore his bicep week 1 and out rest of season.

Played 2024.

Played 8 games in 2025 before tearing his achilles tendon. 

 

BC: will be 30 and have gotten season ending injuries 3 times.

Not saying he should not get a 1 year deal, but, can't rely on him being a starter.

Moton: 32, some issues. 

Hunt: 30, (2-3 games?) injured early and ended season with a new injury.

Lewis: 29, some injuries. 

Corbett: 31, some injuries. 

Mays: 27, some injuries.

Nijman: 30, some injuries other season's.

Curhan: 28 (don't know)

Zavala: 27, some injuries. 

Ickey: 26, could have a career ending injury.

 

The team need to get younger at the oline. I asked Chatgpt.com and it listed Panthers to be the 7 oldest starting line during 2025.

Even if that wouldn't be 100% correct, the combination of age and injuries should be enough to convince most that OT needs to be addressed during the 2026 draft and probably also C/OG.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      I'm sorry but if you're saying the things you are then you don't know ball or are just trolling.    Differential says the hornets are the 7-8th best team in the NBA. They started the year off injured and horrible in clutch moments. They are -6 in expected record because of the above two things and have found out how to win.    Coaching is absolutely not a problem at all, it's a big reason they are turning the corner and winning.    12-3 over the last 15 with only one of those losses at full strength.  +2.8 differential  Starting lineup has the best net of any 5 man lineup in NBA history. They are favorites in 15 of the teams last 22 games.  Their expected record is 44-38, which likely gets them the 6th seed.

      2026 NFL Combine Thread: 2.26.26 - 3.1.26

      I wouldn’t complain if we drafted Dillon Thieneman at #19 and finally fix the FS black hole we’ve had for so long. He’s a natural cover 3 FS.
