Like the draft. No way can/will we sign Hardy, Nicks and Tillman tho. Have to think about the future as well. NFL doesn't end after next season, and we have a young core, so it's not like our window is closing, it just opened/opening.

Didn't see if this has been mentioned or not, but cutting Williams wouldn't save us any money, it'd create another 3.6 mil in dead money according to what I'm seeing on spotrac.

 

4.6 million cap hit if you do it non June 1. If you do it as a June 1 it's 2 million. In other words, cutting DeAngelo is pretty dumb and won't be happening. Also having trouble finding all these restructures on the roster. There's only a small handful of guys whose contracts are in a position to restructure (mainly CJ)....

If 89 was another receiver, he wouldnt have a job right now. But, bc he's Steve Smith and what he have done for this franchise are the only reasons why he still have his job. He doesnt impact the game anymore. Hes a better trash talker than wide reciever now. Steve Smith is my all time favorite and the absolute reason why I fell in love with this team. Steve Smith is not even half the receiver he once was in 2013. I'd be surprised if 89 catches for 600 yards in 2014.

And being 5'8 and runs a 4.55 is the "reason" why hes going to play FS in the next level. You dont play a 5'8" at corner except here in Carolina with Captain. I tend to believe that you havent seen or know much of Joyner yet. The kid is seen by many as a safety in the pro. And, he plays like one. Safeties are getting smaller by the day and corners are getting bigger by the sec.

 Of course he impacts the game just not as often.he is not on the team as a charity case and he is still the best WR on the team. So upgrade around him.  I think he has 2-3 more years left if we can get him some help. Move him to the slot, upgrade on the outside and watch this has been's rebirth.I don't think it is wise to doubt Steve Smith.

Lee is in no way shape or form gonna be on board at 28. Unless he was injured or something and I didnt hear about it.

Nothing is guaranteed. Most mocks has Lee in the early 20s. He could very well be there at 28 if teams go in other direction.

Woods, Hunter, etc. in the past were all projected as high prospects. They all fell down the draft. Im not saying Lee will fall but seen it happened too many times.

If we re-sign Ginn, why would we draft Lee? Pretty much the same guy without speed, our offense struggled without a threat at the #2 spot. I understand the concern with Smith's age, but when we go 3 wideouts, I would prefer at least 1 to be over 6' tall. Keep Pounding!!

Lee and Ginn, same guy?

Lol NO. Just no. You may wanna think about taking that comment back.

Charles Tillman has already said that he's going to retire a Bear, and he if doesn't, he would probably go to Tampa before he came here.

But he never said that he couldnt play for another team and still retire a Bear.

Tampa is playing a lot of money to Revis and spent a 2nd rounder on Banks. As much sense as it make for Tillman to land in Tampa (Lovie) I just cant see it.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By frankw · Posted

      4610 total yards 27 total touchdowns 8 yards per attempt. Completion percentage was usual Cam ie mediocre or below at best at 57.7 and 86.2 passer rating. But the man scored points and moved the ball at will often. Compared to 2652 total yards 21 total touchdowns 6.3 yards per attempt completion % 60.9 82.2 passer rating. Let's just not do things like this. We can acknowledge Bryce improved (from realistically a bottom 5 QB) and hope he can work his way within the top 15 this season without dragging Cam Newton into it and unintentionally diminishing him. That's all I got to say. Carry on.

      I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!

      Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.
