its like a weapon tho. I think there should be the same amount of padding on the outside as the inside. 

plus I seen one new idea-

 

i mean a lot of people say a lot of things about their equipment, but at the end of the day we don't have a lot of reliable live action data on concussions in game because, well...

This one worries me. Good talent. Great motor. But not too impressive stats and a plethora of injuries and the best ability is availability and they just threw a ton of money at him a lot guaranteed. 

If he plays 14 plus games each year then great but if he gets a major injury...

We have $55 mill tied up in 2 injury prone defensive players

@fitz

what do think of these- https://safrsports.com/safr-helmet-covers/

 

so just glancing at this which is the closest thing I've found to an actual study 

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11511751/

it seems like they're doing their best to recreate impacts in a controlled environment a football player receives, then designing helmets that dissipate the force from those impacts. Just off the top of my head the main questions I would ask are 

1. how accurate are the lab conditions to real life and 

2. how do you account for those differences 

so it's obviously honorable and worthy research I just don't know how meaningful it is to the actual game. Especially when players are coached to fake different injuries (guy gets up from an obvious concussion and all his team mates are telling him to rub his shoulder) or your dumbass running back will just throw the blue tent open and drag your obtunded qb back onto the field

As of March 9, 2026, the highest contract in Carolina Panthers history by total value belongs to outside linebacker 

 

 (CB): $100 million (2025–2029)

  • A four-year extension signed in March 2025 with $70 million guaranteed.
  • At the time of signing, it made him the highest-paid defensive back in NFL history by average annual value ($25 million).

 

 

 

   remains the franchise leader in total career earnings from the team, having been paid over $127 million across his tenure. Other major historical deals include 
 
Taylor Moton's
 2021 extension worth roughly $71.25 million and 
 
Christian McCaffrey's
 2020 extension worth $64 million. 

 

largest contract in panther history.......Dan you are making this difficult to defend you.....I was no fan but burns didn't have ACL, arch, core, ankles and concussions history and you didn't want to sign him.......ugh.

We tried that method last season. Didn't work out too well for us. 

I’m sure he’ll settle in and his numbers will be better. I’m just cynical with his injury history and his sack numbers aren’t great. 
 

Given our cap and needs, I would have preferred giving the money to Leo Chenal and a veteran pass rusher (Bradley Chubb/Bosa) to address both positions of need.

Yeahhhhh...we definitely overpaid...Eagles were offering him 20 mil a year...knew we would have to overpay for talent but this sorta confirms what I believe going into this offseason...

I think this is a do or die season for Canales/Evero/maybe Morgan

He's definitely Evero's type of OLB that can set the edge though.  And he can pass rush and isn't a one-trick pony.

I think we overpay Devin Lloyd next now

Morgan is brain damaged.. Between he and Tepper we have to hope for dumb luck for this team to ever be good I think.

contracts will always go up just because the cap goes up. 

pass rush, QB, LT are the premium positions and they'll always get record setting contracts

now is this is the pass rusher to set that? eesh. i mean this is definitely the panthers top 2 or 3 need but man i dunno about this.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
