Panthers sign 4 guys off the practice squad to future contracts.

They're for training camp and mini camp retards.
:lol: it's always funny to see the overreaction for stuff like this like they are guys they want to have starting or something.

its just to make sure they have bodies at TC and mini camp and such.

nothing worth starting a fire hurney campaign over.

Sure these guys are signed as potential training camp fodder but we signed them because we think they have potential. Every team does this to signnthem before some other team does the same thing. While the likelihood that any of these guys will make the squad is not great, we have certainly found guys off our own and other team's practice squads. A few years ago we got Matt Moore. Even this year Gordon and Nelson were promoted from the practice squad to the active roster.

i agree. the problem i have is that people act like this is going to be the limit of our offseason activity or that we are counting on them fixing the D or whatever when it's just a way to keep guys around we'd like to look at more. that's the reason some guys were put on IR late in the season when it really wasn't necessary. they wanted to make sure that they had these young guys around.

    • 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.
    • 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. 
    • 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.
