I have a doctorate in eating pie

I do see them signing a vet WR to replace Samuel, a cheaper one. Keelan Cole from the Jags comes to mind.

He’s a fraction of the players that Luke and TD were in their primes. Shaq is an above-average LB who got to play with legends so he gets lumped with good players by proxy.

Deshaun for Teddy and the good vibes from the TD and Olsen retirement. We have a deal

Nah that’s extremely harsh. Mac can sling the ball. He is physically limited like Teddy but with a better arm.

I didn’t hear it brought up with Fitterer but I believe it was brought up with Rhule

Maybe. Maybe there’s more conversations. What I gleaned was that trading Teddy is definitely on the table.

1) Fitterer confirmed that the team did have a conversation with another team about trading Teddy Bridgewater. He also said "Teddy is our QB" and a bunch of other nice things about him, that he's very professional and he's been through a lot. Also said he's had some open and honest conversations with him. 2) Was asked about the LT position, Fitterer mentioned Scott, Little, and Daley. He also brought up getting a LT in the draft. He didn't mention Russell Okung. Doubt Okung is back next season. 3) Mentioned Luke is involved in the free agency scouting process. Was great to hear, love that Luke is still involved with the team. 4) Panthers are going nickel and dime store shopping in Free Agency again ala the Dave Gettleman era. 5) Fitterer speaks like someone who has a good understanding of the roster so far, but I can't help but wonder how much of a figurehead he is since most of the front office is still intact aside from Hurney being gone.

Fitterer didn't mention the 49ers specifically but he basically confirmed that this is true. The Panthers had a conversation with them about trading Teddy.

they are clearly trying to drive up his value to trade him maybe the team might behind all these weird pseudo-Teddy troll twitter accounts

Fitterer was asked about the LT position and if Okung would be back, didn't mention him by name and mentioned Scott, Little, and Daley. Also mentioned looking at the draft for LT. Doubt Okung is back.

Fitterer mentioned that Luke is involved in the free agency process building their board of needs. So glad he's working with the team.

Fitterer confirmed they tried to trade Teddy

Too many other holes on the roster to bring him back.

this is true he almost died. doesn't impact if he's good at scouting QBs tho although he is more tolerable to listen to than his dad

He whiffed on Daniel Jones which was his biggest mistake. Gettleman probably fell in love with him while he was at Charlotte Latin. Maybe his kids went there too I dunno.

Now that the 2017 draft class is up for contract extensions, I think it's a good time to appreciate what an amazing draft class this was. Every single player drafted is still in the NFL 4 seasons later, and 3 of the players are some of the best players at their position in the NFL. Can anyone name a better Panthers draft class? 2001 maybe? (Dan Morgan, Kris Jenkins, Steve Smith)?? 1 (8) - RB Christian McCaffrey. One of the best and most versatile RB's in the game. Turned in an all-time great performance in 2019. Hoping he gets back on track in 2021 after an injury riddled 2020 season. 2 (40) - WR Curtis Samuel. Early in his career he dealt with injuries and inconsistency, and it was thought he might be a bust. Samuel really turned it on in 2019 and 2020 and become a reliable 3rd down target. He will get big money this offseason. 2 (64) - OT Taylor Moton. One the best RT's in the game right now. Panthers slowly developed him and would be absolutely brain damaged not to sign him to a long term deal. 3 (77) - DE Daeshon Hall. Worst pick of the draft this year. Didn't work out with the Panthers, but he has bounced around the NFL and was mildly productive for the Eagles. Still on the 49ers roster as of now. 5 (152) - CB Corn Elder. Another pick that looked like a bust early on that turned into a decent player under Matt Rhule. Elder was one of the Panthers most consistent players in the secondary in 2020. He might be brought back in 2021, otherwise I'm sure he'll find a role on another team. 6 (192) - FB Alex Armah. Still on the roster in 2020, in a league in which many teams don't have a FB anymore, Armah carved out a role for himself and might be back in 2021. 7 (233) - K Harrison Butker. Butker is one of the best kickers in the NFL. The one that got away. Honestly, I look back on this draft and wonder if firing Dave Gettleman was one of the worst decisions in franchise history. Richardson brought back Marty Hurney who flat out couldn't draft as well after Round 1. The team slowly fell apart and almost no one from 2017, players or management, is still with the team. What a massive f*ck up Jerry! I'm glad you're gone forever. Here's hoping Scott Fitterer can draft as well as Gettleman did, especially in the later rounds.

No brainer. Would have assumed the team management was brain damaged if they didn’t do this.

I know right. At the end of a game, Delhomme was clutch as f*ck. Teddy just plain isn’t.

What’s to stop him from getting complacent with the Vikings now? I wouldn’t want this dude on my team

maybe CMC getting traded to the eagles, anyone think of that???

giving up a 1st round pick for minshew is absolutely f*cked. that was the price for stafford and no one in the world would think minshew is better than stafford y'all are so desperate for a QB it's getting ridiculous

Without trading up, fields is not going to be possible. And a lot of other teams want to do the same. I just hope we’re cool with Trey Lance

I could see it
