if you're contemplating committing seppuku over our last two picks go ahead and do it because you're probably a terrible poster, but think about this:

I think he can.

Beason is a shell of his former self. Injury plagued, possibly lazy, and maybe even undetermined now that he finally get his large contract. there was a time when Beason was a god on the football field. Luke Kuechly is now that player.

how the fug would someone come up with this poo? you clearly haven't paid attention to what people say about Beason's practices.. wow

Another well though through post..... NOT! Once again people here turn thee backs on our layers fast. Beason is not a shell of his former self. And lazy he has never been. Dwill just lie Stewart was underutilized for the past 2 seasons under Chuds pass happy offense. Got to love fans that k ow nothing about the game or the players

anyone who watched beason's first couple of years and compares them to his last two years - one on IR and the next gimping around the field ineffectively before again going on IR - would never argue that beason isn't a shell of his former self. he clearly is.

again this comes down to money, not effort or desire. beason would be the greatest feel-good story in the world if he came back and had a pro-bowl season, but be that as it may, shelling out 10m a year for an OLB when we already have great depth at the position would be ludicrous (and remarkably hurney-like.)

it's time to move on.

POint taken, however, if anyone hear knew anything about his condition, they would also understand that he rushed himself back to the field well be fore he should have been there. This why he was gimping around. Recovering from a torn Achilles tendon is just as hard to rehab as a ACL. No way he should have been back when he was.

AJ Klein and Kenjon Barner are both incredibly talented players at their respective positions who fell much farther in the draft than they were projected. But even that is secondary: both positions - linebacker and running back - are slots that we have massive amounts of cap space tied into. besides providing insurance for injuries at those positions, it also makes the following players expendable:

Jon Beason - cap hit $9,500,000

Deangelo Williams - cap hit $8,200,000

I recognize that cutting those guys off the bat wouldn't mean getting every dime of that space back, but that's $17.7 million in cap space negated by guys who can do their job for years on low-round rookie contracts.

17.7 million/year sounds like a nice salary for cam newton.

for the rest of you, here's a guide on hara-kari. don't forget your kaishaku, they come in handy.

wud da *** u say?

First of all anyone taken after the 4th round is not usually penciled in as a starter at least for a year or two. Secondly they were brought in for depth not to replace a starter. Thirdly, anyone who is upset about who we pick in our last few picks when most times they are gone in a year or two needs a therapist or an anger management class.

I'm sorry but I just was reading the part about the UDFA being better than a proven pro LaFell at every step of the way....hahahahahahaha I haven't laughed that hard in a while. Thanks for that.

When Darick is cut in preseason, I'll be sure to bump this thread to remind you how full of poo you are ;)

    • I mean you can always talk good or bad in just about everything. 8 wins and leading poo mountain, this rookie class is a big reason. Think about no Tmac or Dan Morgan didn't make that trade to gain a future 2nd rounder. So after Pat Jones breaks his back, DJ " who's not on any roster or PS" Johnson would be starting. Gods knows how bad they already are- 32nd in sacks/pressure/PDs etc... Sure Prince, Trevor, Cam, and little Jimmy haven't done too much, but they are still here.  Honestly its not smart or wise to judge rookies, *unless pro-bowl or cut. Lets revisit this next year, there are slump sophomore years and the biggest jump in players careers most times happens in the 2nd full off-season. You see who wants to be NFL pro and who's happy with teppers checks. I know many of them will be getting surgeries, got to see how they attack that as well....Tmac is playing hurt currently, if they were out of the race, he would be IR'd and maybe half the rookie class as well....I thought Cam was headed for the IR. 
    • It actually looks pretty solid.  A few players to re-sign and three primary positions to upgrade (starters).  Beyond that, we don't have a bunch of holes or need to overpay free agents. this is how I see it (using OTC for the 2026 roster information) on December 22, 2025.  This is rather basic, focusing on the core needs. Blue: Potential players to re-sign in the offseason.  Green: Players under contract for the 2026 season.  Italics: Possible cap casualties Analysis   Offense:  Center:  First, sign Mays for the long term (He is 26–I’d give him a 3-4 year deal).  He is not great, but he is decent and we need consistency on the OL. He does not make stupid mistakes. While the draft is not great in the interior offensive line, signing a veteran who can backup G and C would be a strategy.   Guard:  Canalas seemed to be impressed with Curhan, as I was.  He will be 28 next year, so he has a few years in him. I think he comes cheap and is quality depth.  He can play center, but is perhaps best at G and T.  Valuable reserve.   Tackle:  While Nijman returns as the swing T behind Moton and Ekwonu, the Panthers need to start developing a RT to play behind Moton.  A late-round draft pick that is rough but has all the tools is ideal. As the fourth OT, he can develop behind some pretty good veterans.   Wide Receiver:  We need a playmaker to play opposite TMac.  I believe in Coker, but think he is the AT-type slot. He needs to be re-signed. XL cannot be counted on to step into that role.  He is not that familiar with the WR position and he does not seem to be a student of the game.  This is a strong WR draft. First or second round.   Tight End:  I dunno.  I can see us upgrading the position, but Tremble does a lot of stuff well aside from catching the ball.  Evans is a decent all-around TE, and Sanders has some upside.  I’d love a weapon, but add the WR.   Running Back:  If Dowdle wants to be here, how do you let him walk?  He will be 28, and most RBs hit the wall then.  He deserves a big contract, but 28-year old RBs on big deals don’t earn them.  Go with Hubbard, Brooks, and Etienne.  Build the OL and the backs get better.   Quarterback:  Well, Bryce is improving and his confidence is growing.  Look at how many other QBs have taken time to get it. He is going to be the QB, regardless.  I want a young QB behind him, not the Red Senior Citizen.     Overview: Free Agent Priorities are to re-sign Mays and Coker.  I have Dowdle in blue, but I would let him walk (for reasons provided).  Cuhran played well and is versatile and should be signed if possible.  Draft a developmental OT, a raw, late-round OT.  In the draft, take a WR in rounds 1 or 2.  The offense is in tact–little needs to be done.  Let the OL develop chemistry, sign Mays while he is entering his prime, and get a weapon opposite TMac.  Give Coker a long-term deal.    Defense: ILB;  With only Wallace on the 2026 payroll, this position needs to be addressed.  Rozeboom might be able to be re-signed. I think ILB will be addressed in free agency and the draft. ILB will be the second or third round pick.  We will re-sign Rozeboom and maybe Cherulus and another priority free agent.   Edge/OLB: Scourton seems to be the real deal, but Princely (needs to develop) and Jones II are role players.  The draft is LOADED at the edge rush position.  I expect a first or second round edge player to be taken.   Defensive Tackle:  We have some big salaries at DT, and with Brown on the field, you dont need stars beside him.  I think the team cuts Robinson to get $8.5m in cap room, especially since C Jackson seems to be ready.     Cornerback:  Morgan has done a tremendous job finding talent in the bargain bins at CB.  Smith-Wade has been very solid.  Thornton seems to be a find.  Mike Jackson is a solid pro.     Safety:  Ransom seems to be the heir apparent for the Scott job, and Moehrig gives them a very aggressive, violent pair of safeties.  I like the safeties in this draft, fwiw.  I expect a late round pick.   Overview:  The Panthers must address ILB and Edge as priorities.  The ILB could be a free agent, Rozeboom re-signing, and maybe a draft pick. However, they need a pass rush more than anything else.   This is a great draft for edge players; I would not be surprised to see Dan Morgan double dip at edge.  Depth at S.   As soon as the season is over, look for Morgan to re-sign Mays, Coker, Cuhran, and possibly Rozeboom and Dowdle.  That would lock up the starting C, #3/slot WR, versatile depth on the OL, and get your leading tackler back at ILB.  Three HUGE moves that sould not break the bank.   Free agency would be focused on adding an ILB and a Safety who can play FS in three-S or big nickel sets. The draft would target Edge, WR, and ILB on days 1 and 2. Day 3:  OT depth, S depth, ILB depth.  
    • Seattle is coming across country to our house which will be packed.  We can beat this damn team.  Agree @TheBigKat the team has improved tremendously from last season
