Now if someone said bengals Anthony Collins is available panthers are interested, I could believe that because the guys looking for around 4-6 mill for a starting job whereas Albert, Veldheer, Monroe are looking for big big money.

 

The good news for us is that with all these top tier OT's hitting FA the mid/low tier guys are not gonna get overprized deals thrown their way.

Good point. Let Miami and Arizona throw money at the big three tackles, we wil snap up Collins cheap and be able to go draft weapons, wel that's my hope anyway.

If Cyrus and Tiny were not having leg problems, then there would be even more OT's in the draft and that could help to hold down the big dollars coming their way, same with WR's.  We should be able to pick up a good WR on the cheap.  Afraid others will out bid us on the OT's.

Drafts deep at OT, hurst,mewhort,henderson,williams,moses. And more names I probably can't remeber, we should pickup a new tackle as late as the fourth round, a mid ranked free agent will be available for us to replace gross, he was at a $4mil cap, collins from bengals would probably be same sort of figure in my opinion.

Agreed, mentioned this in the top NFL free agents thread.  Although, I don't think Collins can be had for less than 7 mill per.

Compared to Albert, Monroe and Veldheer he's probably ranked fourth best out of the tackle group? So he's probably more realistic without breaking the bank, we can talk to him and other free agents now up until Friday evening but can make an official offer until 11th, I'd be happy with anyone of the top four tackles on FA, would take so much pressure of the draft.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion in Here)

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Totally.  They had a guy starred on their boards that made it in trade worthy range. The risk was totally worth it.  Our case was the classic of a franchise not having a QB, do what you can to get one.  That often results being thrust into a bad situation, putting crazy pressure on 1 guy, and it becomes even worse when he's not that great.  But if we find ourselves just a few spots behind a guy we really like, I don't see a problem.   We just have to see how the season shakes out and enjoy this roller coaster.  It's not pretty at times but we somehow are 5-4 haha. If Bryce turns a page and cranks out some truly QB driven wins, then maybe we do consider just rolling with him and a Dalton replacement in 2026.  Someone like a Jarrett Stidham/Tanner McKee.   However, if he stays mostly the same (whether we fall apart or he struggles on/off but we still win some), I think you have to leave to door open for a QB in the draft.  Scout and meet with the top ones, see if any really fit what D&D want.  Maybe that guy could be Mateer.  Who knows

      Young QBs lead their teams to undefeated October

      I lived in that area for a minute, and 2 decades of BB and Brady made them delusional.  They think everyone is the 2nd coming of Brady and they're just on a short coffee break til the next dynasty.

      Bryce Young hasn't cleared 200 passing yards in a single game in that window.  Meanwhile, Rico Dowdle has put together the greatest 5 game stretch of rushing production in Panthers history.   And RBs have sort of been our thing, so there is ample competition.  This team hasn't been lead by Bryce Young in that stretch. Those wins are simplistically 3 things.  Schedule, Rico, and defense.
