Speculation that Bengals free agents may flock to Minnesota to join former DC Mike Zimmer (link).  Word also that the Vikes are very interested in Dolphins corner Nolan Carroll, a guy I'd personally love to see playing for Carolina.

 

As to the aforementioned Dolphins, lots of chatter that they'll go hard after Ravens left tackle Eugene Monroe.

Why do we bother making this kind of thread. It will be heartache for us on both ends. One we can't afford to resign most of the starters who made this team 12-4 last year to new contracts and we can't afford to go out sign anyone that is good. Once again we must get what ever is left in a few weeks when everthing is calm down. So let the hurting begin. :sick:

Because while it makes sense to have separate threads for every move the Panthers make (or don't make) there's a lot of relevant news from around the league that's worth talking about, but doesn't necessarily need it's own thread.

Yea I know. It justs hurt seating  by why other teams get good players to make their teams better we get the leftovers and hope they fit out gameplan and pan out for us in the end.

Would you rather be Oakland, Jacksonville, or Cleveland with cap room but missing many many pieces and under bad ownership, with questionable GM's and coaches? Be thankful for what we've got, because we went 12-4 and were 1 of only 8 teams to have advanced to the divisional round of the playoffs, have a clear franchise QB (along with the centerpiece of our defense in Kuechly), seemingly great HC and GM, and fantastic ownership.

Didn't work out so bad last year :)

 

 

Yea it did. But we can't just keep living year to year like this. We need to get solid core group guys to stay together for years down the line to make this team good. We never know what we will get from one season after the next with one yr contract guys.

I am really thinking that we draft 2 OTs and will have one start and the other compete with Bell. We are in no position to hit the market hard, and by next weekend, the OTs in free agency could be gone.

while I don't doubt the panthers draft two tackles, iI'd be willing to bet they sign a veteran tackle.

Ya got to have some leadership at that position.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      I was watching a YouTube and it was said that scout and GM insider types were saying the NIL had killed rounds 4-7. I don’t know that I buy it, seems like it might for a year or maybe two but then those guys have to move on.  NCAA is apparently about to give 5 years of eligibility. It is gonna skew those entrants older maybe.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
