Who will the Panthers bring in to help on offense?

i don't know about who they will bring in but these guys are entirely possible and likely.

sidney rice

malcom floyd

braylon edwards

lance moore

more likely one of the top three. chud has experience with floyd and edwards. rice is a local boy. all three fit the mold of the big receiver that has been used a lot by chud/norv turner.

i'd also be looking at top OG candidates and we may also go after a top RT as well, depending on how well otah is doing.

i don't see much past that, mainly because not much is needed. i have very little doubt that richardson will open up the purse strings. rivera and chud are going to be able to get the guys they want.

We could do a Vincent Jackson for Steve Smith swap of disgruntled receivers. Some offensive linemen to give that unit depth and five legitimate starters. And maybe upgrade at fullback as Fiametta hasn't dominated.

FB won't play a bigr role like it did with fox. i don't see us using more than one back in the backfield much at all.

I'm talking about somebody to compete with or replace Fiametta. I doubt we'll keep two, but fullback was an important position for Chud when his offense worked. I think a lot of people just remember the big passing plays that year, but they had a lot of success running the ball out of an I formation with Vickers and Jamal Lewis during the season.

I think we will get a new WR too but I think we are gonna lose Smith so at best that will be a wash.

There are ways to add to a roster and improve the talent on a roster without exchanging players though and it can come from things like growing up and taking advantage of more experience, getting a coach anxious to make a name for himself, getting our players back healthy, or having them work in a system that suits them better.

I don't see big splashes on O.

If we can land Coefield, V Jackson and a nice vet QB I will be very happy. CB would be nice but seems only superstars FAs that are worth anything Panthers never sign them, who knows though with all the money JR saved and players he cut it's probably possible to sign them all.

Panthers need to resign before doing anything in FA IMO.

I agree I see FA being use more for Def. not O. Maybe a WR if Smith is gone and a vet QB. But most of FA money will be spent on resigning our core players and Def upgrades at DT and CB.

This is going to be such an insane FA market. The CBA gets signed and 5 minutes later it's a bidding frenzy. Teams will want to sign their target FAs ASAP, especially if the lockout doesn't end soon.

    • Panthers sign OT Rasheed Walker Terms: One year, up to $10 million Grade: A The price of this deal might be the most shocking of free agency thus far. Walker was widely considered the best free agent tackle this year and was expected to receive a large contract. But his market developed very slowly, so he has signed a one-year deal with a maximum value of $10 million -- meaning the base value is below that -- per NFL Network. For context, my free agency contract model projected a deal averaging $21.8 million for Walker. Instead, it's a short-term commitment for less than half that. And the Panthers are the beneficiaries. Carolina entered this offseason with a possible need at left tackle after Ikem Ekwonu suffered a patellar tendon rupture in the playoffs that put his 2026 season in question. It's also the last year of his contract. The Panthers signed Stone Forsythe as an insurance plan already in free agency, but once Walker's market fell it seemed like they felt adding him was well worth it, too. Our win rate metrics consider Walker to be a solid player. Last season in Green Bay, he was in the 85th percentile among tackles in pass block win rate, though only 22nd percentile in run block win rate. He was in the 69th percentile and 48th percentile in those two metrics in 2024, respectively. Given that Dan Moore Jr. received $20.5 million per year from the Titans last year most -- myself included -- thought Walker would walk away with more than that. Perhaps the struggles of Moore (who wasn't great last season) contributed to Walker's market being cooler than expected, a theory that ESPN's Jeremy Fowler suggested. Walker was also arrested two months ago at LaGuardia Airport in New York for allegedly trying to check-in with a firearm that he had a license for in Wisconsin but not New York. Either way, teams felt differently about Walker than most on the outside thought. But he's a heck of an add for the Panthers at this price. While his run-game contributions might be far from perfect, a weak pass protector at tackle can sink a passing game. Even if this is only a one-year arrangement, Walker should be able to help keep Bryce Young upright
    • Fantastic signing. If he is good, this will make next offseason really interesting. I would imagine that Morgan would try to extend Walker and convince Ikey to move to the right side to replace Moton. This also opens up options at 19 at lot instead of forcing a tackle. I'm not a fan, but I'm definitely more open to Morgen drafting Sadiq now, but there is also Peter Woods, and even some like Dillon Thieneman is now in the mix. Hell, I'm still for another off ball LB.
    • sure, but Panthers are theoretically in their win now window. Their first rounder needs to be a day one starter
