Per Bill Voth's twitter account:

Wow, um...ok. RT @RavensInsider #Panthers awarded RB Jerome Felton off waivers from Lions, beat out claims from Minnesota and Philadelphia.

We need another RB like we need a hole in the head unless we're planning to trade someone, or someone is hurt that we don't know about yet...

With Schwartz done for the year we need to do everything we can to make sure we can still be productive rushing the football, and most importantly, protect Cam. We may not be able fill the guard position with someone the caliber of Schwartz and Felton is a solid veteran and I would bet he has played in this system before if not something similar. Not a big splash flashy move at all but one that makes a lot of sense.

Sutton has made a few remarks on twitter recently against ppl referring to him as a fb.

(In reference to Hartsock being used as a fb) Richie Brockel (listed as te) has been playing fb while Fiammetta has been injured. Hartsock seems to have been brought in to be the blocking te yang to shockey/olsen yin.

Former Pro Bowl you say? Not exactly the DT or CB we were all hoping for, but any time we sign a player who is/was once near the top of his position, then I can't say I object..

What does this mean for Fiametta though? He was a running/pass catching FB coming out of Syracuse, I really thought the new offense would benefit him. Perhaps we don't want a 'skill-player' FB and are looking for one that more of a blocker? Does this new FB fit that bill?

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
