Reporter Rumor: Panthers Interested in Malcom Floyd

According to Aaron Wilson, who covers the Ravens and is very credible...

I fully expect Rivera to come out and say it's false though, lol.

EDIT: I prefaced the title with reporter rumor b/c I think that should now be mandatory for all twitter rumors... As we've seen this offseason, twitter makes for bad reporting at times.

agreed on the credibility of wilson. for a beat reporter, the dude does a good job of keeping up with what is going on around the league. he's got some decent league sources.

agreed w/ the reporter rumor designation as well. most of us following twitter know to take it with a grain of salt until more substantial reports come out. usually reports that have legs will start popping up soon after the initial one after several people start looking into it. sometimes the early reports are right on. sometimes they aren't.

anyway....i love the idea of floyd, but i'm getting worried about the CB position and that we are running out of choices here...even for just a 1 year deal. only guy i'm at all interested in is kelvin hayden form the colts. dude is talented, but he gets hurt a lot.

i think the coaching staff really likes the potential of the young guys on the roster and i'm confident that we will be carrying more WRs on the roster and into game days than we have in over 10 years. floyd for a 1 year deal would be appropriate, but i don't know how it would hamper the progress of the young guys and i don't know what financial resources it would take away from adding to the CBs.

Hard to say how much we want Floyd. If we aere going to do something this year maybe we would feel a need. As it is though, he would be a stop gap not someone for the future. As far as a big receiver who can help us in the redzone, we got that in Olsen. I expect we will use him alot like Wesley Walls. Money on third down and in the redzone.

#49ers & #Panthers have also entered the mix on free agent WR Malcom Floyd. #Ravens have put forth a decent offer reportedly.

if we see "Panthers Sign Malcom Floyd".. I won't be mad. I can see the reasons not to sign him though.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
