Nicks, 25, could end up being the highest-paid player in what looks to be a pedestrian free-agent class (tight end Jimmy Graham, for instance, is going to be franchised by the Saints if he isn't extended), and a team acquiring the star receiver at the trade deadline would only owe him about $1.4M for the remainder of the season based on his $2.7M salary).

I think we have the best chance of locking him up long term in a trade scenario if we play decent down the stretch. Remember, his ENTIRE family just saw the Panthers destroy his team a few weeks ago live.

Nicks is not going to demand top dollar. There may be a bidding war, but the price will not be extraordinary. He is living off his past right now. Unless he gets back to mini-beast mode, he will be rather inexpensive.

Still don't want him. I want a potential #1. Nicks can help our WR corp, but he is not a #1 anymore. Pay him #2 money and I may change my mind.

I'd be more excited about the prospect if it was Victor Cruz and not Nicks.

But, like Zod said, we have players now that we need to pay big $$ to. If I had to choose though between JStew and Nicks being on our roster - I'd pick Nicks. If Giants didnt have Andre Brown coming back I'd love to just trade our banged up RB for their injury prone WR. But wouldn't happen.

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      In your opinion. What do you think Moton's true value in contract, dollars and guarantees? If we had not extended him, what is your plan for RT in 27 and 28? How important are good offensive linemen for our current offense? How much value do you put on protecting Bryce at this stage of his career? How difficult in general do you think finding above average tackles in the NFL is?

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By CRA · Posted

      That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO)
