GM Dave Gettleman has positioned the Panthers to be able to re-sign its star players to long-term extensions.

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Carolina Panthers general manager Dave Gettleman was getting a hard time on Tuesday in one of the hallways of the Ritz Carlton during a break in the NFL owners meetings.

Not about any of his decisions in free agency. About his weight.

The pressure was coming from former Panthers coach John Fox, who became friends with Gettleman when both were with the New York Giants. Down more than 40 pounds since being hospitalized with a heart condition last season, Fox seemed genuinely concerned.

Gettleman, holding a cookie as thick as a laptop in his right hand, laughed and shrugged off the advice.

He's handled criticism about his moves during free agency, from the release of wide receiver Steve Smith to the signing of little-known Tiquan Underwood, in similar fashion.

When asked how he felt about the heat he's been taking nationally -- and nobody has taken more during this offseason -- Gettleman began laughing before the question was complete.

      Last night with some players

      Sounds encouraging.  I agree about the LB....I was CERTAIN second round would be a LB.  I would also like to add that, on paper, DL looked solid--but only 1 performed well in 2025 (2 if you count Robinson, who is now gone).  I am guessing they feel that the LB play will improve with the improvement up front--logical.  Remember the old rule (not sure who said it first) "You build from the inside out, front to back."   We drafted, in my early opinion, a starting NT and C this year.  inside out, front to back.

      Agree--I think a mid-level tackle but he could prove to be an elite G--not sure how he would do at RT--or maybe Freeling---lotta moving parts--but I would look at him at G if mid-level T is his ceiling--he has been improving, but the injury..

      Worked an event that many players were at including Ickey. Talked to him, looks and walks around good/normal. Taylor Moton released a new Tequila with his partner Matt Kahlil. Taylor looks great and is psyched for the season. He's such a good guy. Even Derrick Brown, very focused. It's like a quiet, calm I'm gonna rip through you confidence. Building his forever home and sticking around CLT. Bryce stopped in, but was upbuilding talking to the guys, not drinking, smoking cigars like others. There was little different aura with them, almost a quiet confidence, some fun. Reminded me of the 2013-2018 era. Had an event Tuesday with TD (he was there last night too) and he thinks the team looks real good, maybe just needs an another LB. He loves the Devin Lloyd pick up.  No negative comments, just giving a nice update on some players.
