Amazing how longs its taken trying to fill Ryan Kalils shoes lol

Kalil’s shoes, Cam’s shoes, TD shoes, Luke shoes, Olsen shoes, and etc and so on. 
The pas 7-years of bad drafting and miss managing of players has led to a long drought. Hopefully Morgan sticks to building a foundation to start winning

This just in:  We will have a new center in 2026.  I think the draft is solid at C, and a rookie would be decent between our twin veteran guards.  While we could go free agency, I just do not see pouring more $$ into the OL aside from Ickey, Moton, Hunt, and Lewis.  We have a QB we might have to sign, Coker, and you can't spend $200m on offense because you have a short qb with a below average arm and limited mobility.

How much does he want to sign? 
 

There are things were aren’t privy too that drive these decisions sometimes. 

I think 3mill for one year should be his number. Not bad given the market increase, but if this report is true...Panthers must feel his NFL career is at street level talents. I know it feels like drafting C is in the plan, they can re-sign Corbett and still cut him if some UDFA or rookies out-play him. Hell, I think if both lewis and hunt are at full health I could play C a few snaps before the amberlamps comes gets me.....

I am on board with drafting a Center.

However any scenario where we give an extension to our current QB means we can forget building a well rounded roster and maximize this young core. Especially considering most are suggesting he needs elite pieces across the board just to look servicable.

This might not even be related to his play. “Not expected back” gives us nothing, it could be he doesn’t want to come back. It could be we want to move on. 
 

If he is seen as a street level talent the only thing he offers above a random guy is familiarity. At this point I would say he is probably out of upside. 
So if we can find equal with some upside, that is what we need to do. 
 

Hard to say with such little inside info.

Well, at least we won't have to worry about his bad snaps any more. I still have nightmares about his snaps in the Jags game

As long as we can resign Mays I'm okay with this

At least two other teams are wanting to talk with his agent. 

We won’t be in line any kind of discount.

Panthers have past over Mays like three times, cut and lost the TC battle and when other got healthy they put mays back on the bench. I'd be gooonne.

Maybe. That’s the feeling I have. It will be all about money this time and with two, at least, besides us who may end up competing for him,  I expect us to let him leave.

Bears C just unexpectedly retired. 27 years old.
More demand created.
