some former panthers were at tryouts....this league at least on the outside seems to be ran a lil diff than the other failed football leagues..but you never know would love some football now

first-round pick Travis Taylor and former Arizona Cardinals first-round selection David Boston were a few of the players in attendance, UFL spokeswoman Rachel Gary told us in a telephone interview today.

Besides Taylor, other ex-NFL players on hand included: tight end Jermaine Wiggins, quarterback Quinn Gray, wide receiver Reche Caldwell and running back LaBrandon Toefield and wide receiver/defensive back Bobby Sippio

Sure they could make it. When they understand that they need to play in the Spring when the NFL is not playing. As long as they are trying to compete directly to the NFL it doesn't matter, they lose. Playing a different season, they've got a chance...

I'll watch, just because it's football.

Same here.

While the talent level of the players will undoubtedly be lower than in the NFL, it will be interesting to see former NFL or college players playing. Take Toefield, for instance. Running back is the last position we need depth at right now, but when we picked him up a lot of us were really hoping Toefield would have been a complimentary back to Williams (before Stewart, of course).

So while I can't say I'm sorry he's not a Panther right now, I can say I really wanted to see if he'd work out. I think it would be great to follow the many other players who, for one reason or another, never really got their shot in the NFL (or did, and blew it entirely).

And yes, it is football.

I guess if I were to design a product I would not choose to go up against one of the most successful franchises in existence.

A rival baseball league has more of a chance

This is true..but the NFL needs a minor league..something most other sport leagues have..if done right it could be very good..

Absolutely, I've got no problem with that. The problem is that they are going to try to compete directly with the NFL and that's just not gonna happen. If they played their season in the Spring, then they'd have a chance. Buit there's no way they have a chance in September...

It's interesting, there's minor talent but I think we'll see a different form of the game. There's a lot of tremendous athletes out there who couldn't make it in the NFL due to the system they played in or because of position changes, we'll probably see a lot of different styles in the UFL and it will be better than Arena in any event.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By strato · Posted

      Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances.

      Dan had a great draft

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By 45catfan · Posted

      I just saw the funniest thing...or very disappointing, depending how you handle misery. A guy on YouTube did a 2027 'way too early' mock draft.  If I told you the simulator has the Panthers selecting in the top 10 , what would you say?  If I told you it was pick #8 and only two QBs were taken in the top 7, what would you say?  If I told you this dude had us taking a defensive player, what would you say?
