Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker
*FreeFua* replied to TheSpecialJuan's topic in Carolina Panthers
Dan Moore got 50 million in total guarantees Walker got 3.215M. Deal is heavily incentive based. I really don’t get it at all. He’s at absolute worst a slightly below average LT. Those aren’t even easy to find these days. How was his market this bad? https://x.com/aaronwilson_nfl/status/2034251531034234961?s=46&t=W75E23VenL1ei42iX22E5g -
Tight End: The Need is Bigger than We Think

I’ve haven’t seen anything that says we have interest in Njoku? -
Tight End: The Need is Bigger than We Think
*FreeFua* replied to MHS831's topic in Carolina Panthers
I’m old enough to remember when I wanted to draft Njoku We brought back Mitchell and officially kept Tremble. Mitchell Evans isn’t going anywhere. Sanders who knows, he was awful last year I fully agree we need a better TE. This room is awful Njoku would be a massive help in the red zone. However it really seems like Dan and the FO prefer to go young on offense -
At this point its Sadiq or bust... A

You’re underselling Loveland imo. He’s so damn good. You can line him out wide and count on him to win 1 v 1. I don’t see that from Sadiq. Loveland is going to go over 1000 yards next season I’m not overly asking for a WR3. It’s just one of the few directions Morgan could go in round 1. Let’s say Thieneman, Fano and Cooper are all on the board it’s a tough decision. I just don’t see how this team would take Sadiq over some of those guys given the way they run their offense. Our tight end room is easily bottom of the league so I can definitely see why someone would want a tight end though. At one point during the season I was on the Sadiq train as well. I just don’t think value wise for us specifically it makes sense given our team as a whole As far as tight ends go in this draft I really like Max Klare. Very smooth mover -
Some of you need some serious help with the way 9 lives rent free in your heads I know for a fact, Dan loves Bryce. Bryce is his guy. This offense is very young and they’re asking Bryce to do a lot. With Idzik taking over playcalling duties it’s a move that is another step in the process of Bryce taking control of the offense. 24 years old. This youth movement on offense and putting more on 9’s shoulders is going to pay off in the long run

Sadiq isn’t Brock Bowers. He’s not Colston Loveland. Not Tyler Warren or even Harold Fanin Sadiq also had a 10.5% drop rate in 2025 Sadiq isn’t much of a route runner. He’s got speed but given this offense outside of the odd seam route meh Right now we don’t really have a WR3 which is much more important to this offense than a TE. Right now if this team had to convert a 3rd down play you could make a strong case given his relationship with Bryce that Metchie would be on the field. Morgan has been aggressive in attacking our weakness in which he’s publicly stated. Pass rush and linebacker but he did also say it’s still an offensive driven league and he wants to find a speed guy that can turn a 5 yard pass into a big play… that’s Lemon and Cooper Jr -

They’d be soooo much better off drafting Cooper Jr over Sadiq if they’re going pass catcher -
This mock is pretty much spot on to how I see the entire first round playing out as of today https://www.fantasylife.com/articles/nfl-draft/2026-nfl-mock-draft-carnell-tate-stays-in-ohio

Caleb Banks paired with DB with Jaelan moving around…

The way this FO attacked this offseason it’s tough to envision them continuing to trot out someone as unreliable and dumb as Legette. There’s expectations now, potentially jobs at stake and Legette’s had his chances

I know it gets exhausting seeing comments saying “he won’t be there” but I really don’t think Thieneman makes it to 19. I really don’t. This draft is all over the place. Lack of blue chip type prospects. In the 1st you just don’t want to miss. Thieneman feels like a safe pick for a lot of teams in front of us. Way too much talent there to bust. If teams view Fano as a guard/Center he could potentially be there at 19. Fano imo would be best case scenario for us. He’d come in and start at center this season. Then he’s a candidate to take over for Hunt when he becomes a cap casualty or Moton when he retires or he becomes an elite Center and he solidifies the IOL which is something Dan wants to do

It’ll be interesting to see how the board falls I completely agree with you on TE for us The safety from Oregon would be the cherry on top for Evero’s defense/scheme. If a OL’men is there that you love it would be very hard to pass up. This fan base seems to just see Walker as a stop gap but I wouldn’t be so sure. He’s the same age as Ekwonu. He’s had a much more impressive career arc/progression than Icky has. He’s the better pass protector. As far as I see it if Walker has a good year I’d bring him back over Icky. Ekwonu isn’t some elite franchise LT. Playing next to Lewis is going to be great for Walker much like it has been for Icky. We definitely need to get younger/cheaper on the OL though so for this reason alone it’s still top of my list come round 1 if board falls this way Could also use another corner with Mike Jackson’s deal up after this season and needing a nickel but Corey Thornton looked really good in that role in the limited time we got to see him. However he’s coming off an achillies injury and you never know with those. Then as mentioned above we do still have a need at WR. As far as “weapons” go it’s kind of a 2 man show with Tmac and Coker and neither is a burner. If Jordan Tyson is there at 19 and we can have a young WR group locked up for cheap that’s a huge advantage cap wise And don’t forget linebacker. That clip in Devin’s Lloyd blueprint they used from Evero saying they need more intelligence there could’ve been left out for Wallace’s sake but it’s true. Wallace is lost in coverage. Pair a smart linebacker with Lloyd and that’s a group with Wallace and Cherelus being depth -

I seriously doubt it. Tight ends aren’t a huge part of this offense and Sadiq isn’t a Colston Loveland or even Tyler Warren I think they’d be more likely to go WR than TE if they wanted a pass catcher. I don’t believe Lemon gets past the Rams at 13. So it’s just a matter of how far does Jordan Tyson fall if at all -

Man what a get this late into FA Walker gave up 6 LESS pressures than Ekwonu while playing 22 more pass blocking snaps
