Captain Morgan

After cycling through a handful of backup quarterbacks in 2024, the Dolphins are determined to find a capable contingency plan for Tua Tagovailoa. Jackson adds another name to Miami’s impending search: Andy Dalton, with the reporter noting that the veteran is “held in high regard” by the organization. Dalton has garnered starts at all of his post-Bengals stops, although that wasn’t always necessarily the plan. https://www.profootballrumors.com/2025/02/dolphins-eyeing-marcus-mariota-andy-dalton

looks pretty good to me

are the Saints the last team without a coach? I understand the cap and the old players being the only good ones, but someone has to coach them.

Shrine Bowl is Thursday at 8, NFL network

Carolina Panthers general manager Dan Morgan has a busy offseason ahead of him. With a defense in need of a substantial retooling, and an offense still seeking playmakers, the second-year GM is on the hunt for talent. And that’s what brought him and nearly the entire Panthers scouting department to Frisco, Texas, this past weekend. More than a dozen Carolina evaluators were on hand during the first two practices of the annual East-West Shrine Bowl on Saturday and Sunday. The group interviewed dozens of players and watched practices to get insight ahead of the draft process. Most of that group will also attend the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama, later this week.

One of the Panthers’ best players will go to his first Pro Bowl after an impressive first season in Carolina. Robert Hunt -- the team’s right guard -- was originally an alternate after missing the initial Pro Bowl roster, but with North Carolina-native Landon Dickerson going to the Super Bowl with the Philadelphia Eagles, Hunt is stepping in as his replacement. In 16 games this season, Hunt gave up only 2.5 sacks and was called for holding just one time. He was perhaps Carolina’s most consistent offensive lineman all season long, and brought a personality and sense of leadership that radiated throughout the locker room. The Panthers signed the 28-year-old to a massive five-year, $100 million contract this past offseason, and one year into the deal, it seems to have already paid dividends for Carolina. Darin Gantt @daringantt · 3h With Panthers guard Robert Hunt added to the Pro Bowl Games today, it marks the first time since 2021 the Panthers have had two Pro Bowlers. (I mean, unless you count that year when Christian McCaffrey spent the second half of the year in SF.)

Mike Kaye @mike_e_kaye · 2h ASU safety Shamari Simmons just made an impressive, backward lunging pick off a deep ball from Minnesota QB Max Brosmer. Brosmer comes back and hits Miami WR Jacolby George in stride toward the sideline for a first down. Much quick-paced team drills than yesterday. West OL vs. DL pass rush drills: - Indiana DT CJ West really impressive swim move. Great burst off the line. - Boise State edge Ahmed Hassanein finally upended because Florida OT Brandon Crenshaw-Dixon is an oak tree of a pass protector. - Boston College G Jack Conley having a nice weekend, just stopped SMU DT Jared Harrison-Hunte in his tracks. - Really like Indiana OT Trey Wedig sturdiness and physicality. @ShrineBowl

Mike Kaye @mike_e_kaye · 2h #Panthers assistant Daren Bates running field goal drills. Miami K Andres Borregales continues to be nails.

Mike Kaye @mike_e_kaye · 1h South Carolina DT Tonka Hemingway with a phenomenal double-team run rep in individuals. Anchored both blockers like a champ. Got love after the rep from coaches and teammates.

he's the right kind of receiver for us, should be there in the back of the 2nd

one thing to remember. Canales came from Tampa Bay. I could see him wanting his own Mike Evans for the next 10 years. There are differences, but a lot of similarities.

one problem we had last year was getting the ball in the end zone. Having Tmac should greatly help us in the red zone. It would be fun watching Bryce's accuracy to a guy who can get up over the entire defense.

don't suppose it would be wrong to post this in the regular forum...after the season that one is all about the draft. But I'll play along. A mod can move it. The draft forum doesn't get the traffic the main one does...the second is a correction of the first post (probably thinking about the WR Higgens https://x.com/mike_e_kaye/status/1882890568281260305 https://x.com/mike_e_kaye/status/1882909783092842731
