Still want him?

I think he is one of those cancer types. The DUI doesn't bother me as much as when he was caught out drinking last year until 4 in the morning a couple days before a game and the night before practice. Football is not a priority.

act like u haven't ever done the same thing on a weekday in your entire life...

Not saying I want him... Let's just calm it down on the judging from afar

People who drink and drive KILL innocent people. Do not try to justify it by applying the fact that you have done it before. If you lost a child or wife or parent to a drunk driver, I doubt your attitude would be so casual.

I don't want Braylon Edwards because he can't catch.

And if we get Braylon, I do not think you would have to worry about Smitty liking him. It would be because Steve Smith is on another team.

After the Jarrett mess, I do not see BE in panther blue.

If you can't judge someone based on getting arrested, then when can you judge them? This isn't his first time getting in trouble. We aren't talking about someone that gets paid minimum wage and is a server at a restaurant. This is a pro athlete that gets paid millions of dollars and is fortunate enough to play a sport that 99.9% of the people in the US would give their left arm to play. So yes, I have a problem when people get paid millions and don't act like professionals.

Obviously his record is something that should be in consideration. To my knowledge though, he's avoided legal problems for near a year now. It's something I'll leave up to the FO to judge. If they believe he's changed, no problem for me.

As for dropping balls, he only had four this year. And had the 12th lowest drop percentage in the entire league.

I doubt he will see anymore legal ramifications, and its highly unlikely he will be suspended imo. With that said I still wouldn't have him on my board as a top option, but I would absolutely have him under serious consideration, given his past success in the system.

As far as the DWI stuff. Drunk driving is a serious problem. And a lot of people do it. I think it's better to judge the problem than the people. Braylon "can" be reckless and immature, he has proven that. But there is still that possibility that he's grown up some and surrounded himself with better people to get his career back on track.

I got a DUI, and it's no joke. I got it less than a month after I turned 21. I dont think it should necessarily prevent someone from being considered though. His apparent lack of passion for the game is a bigger concern IMO.

    • If Phillips and Lloyd stay healthy, this is now a top ten(8?) defensive.  I can not see how Dan did this with Phillips........ must be , I hate to wonder.     
    • Panthers add another big piece in LB Devin Lloyd  Top 150 ranking: 3 Reported deal: 3 years, $45 million Grade: A Lloyd comes in pretty far under our projection of $19 million per year. He is tied for the fourth-highest-paid off-ball linebacker in the league, according to Over the Cap. He played like one of the best off-ball linebackers in football in 2025, and he will still only be 27 when the 2026 season begins. Lloyd is an explosive playmaker with a well-rounded skill set for the position. He is excellent in coverage. He is physical in run defense. He can blitz. He can run sideline to sideline. He had the production last season with 28 pressures and five interceptions. This had all the makings of a deal closer to the top of the market, which is held by the 49ers’ Fred Warner at $21 million APY. Lloyd slots in well below that number. This is a great deal for the Panthers. — Popper The Athletic https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7093735/2026/03/09/nfl-free-agency-grades-2026/
    • Lloyd is best at the will  LB.  We need a Mike. iMO
