I was just about to post this.

I don't know. If Chad is humbled from his experience (or lack there of) in New England I think it would be cool to reunite him and Steve Smith. Give him a vet minimum contract and see what he does in camp if it works good if not cut him. I think that between Smitty, Riv, Beason and all the other guys Chad wouldn't step out of line.

Do NOT want. Don't care if he and Smitty were college team mates...

With that said, we'll probably pick him up with this new cap space. He can still spread the field and open up offense.

This will hurt LaFell and Gettis if we do this though.

Honestly, I have a soft spot for Chad. He's a great player on and off the field. Very interactive with the fans too. Seeing him in a Panthers Jersey would be cool. But I don't know If that's the best move the FO can make. He's a legit #2 if he comes here though. Smitty and Ocho. Crazy man. Crazy.

Hell to the no, that whole crap he pulled in Cincy, bashing his HC, and all the crap he was doing during the lockout, Hell no. If he went to New England and was the same character he was in Cincy, then I could respect him for who he is, (still wouldn't like his attitude, but I would respect it), but he goes to NE, and turns into some humble guy. Hell with Ocho......

Why do people even waste their time speculating on signing guys like this? There is a 0% chance of us signing Ochocinco and anybody that has been a Panthers fan for more than a few years should know this by now. In fact, I'm so confident we're not signing him that I'll give $8.50 at training camp to each person that pies this post.

I can't be mad at him. When we played the Bengals two years he brought free food and a alcohol for the first 85 people to show up to Brazas and waited around to take pictures with everyone that was there even me with my Panthers jersey on. It was pretty cool...

If he can learn the offense and focus he's a better #2 than anyone on our roster (and I say that as someone who is actively rooting for Lafell to set the world on fire)

Bring him in for a workout. Guy played with Smith at JUCO college. Thats literally the only reason I'd even consider taking a look at him. He had been overrated his whole career and had inflated stats for most of it. I think he's done. Dude can't even beat out Deion Branch for playing time.

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tbe · Posted

      Sure, that is possible. That’s what, an extra 55 yards a game on average and 7 more TDs? What if he’s just 15th?  I imagine they would extend him in that situation due to the belief that he’ll keep trending up. maybe a 3 year contract to prove he can be top 10? Sounds like a Tepper plan.
