OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread
SmokinwithWilly replied to TheSpecialJuan's topic in Carolina Panthers
You can protect up to 4 per week but they can't be protected forever. So at some point, they have to come off the list which means if we keep him, he'll likely need to be on the 53. -
Bryce Young 5th year option exercised
SmokinwithWilly replied to T-Wazzle's topic in Carolina Panthers
During the draft process it was said over and over that Arizona doesnt have a starting QB. Brissett started 12 games. He technically played in 2 others taking a single snap in 1 and 3 in the other. If we take his stats from those 12 starts and average it out for 16 to match Bryce's number his output would have been 4488 yards 30 TDs and 11 ints. Now if all the "experts" don't consider that starter worthy how can Bryce's 3011 yards, 23 TDs and 11 int be starter worthy enough to lock in for 2 more years? -
Bryce Young 5th year option exercised
SmokinwithWilly replied to T-Wazzle's topic in Carolina Panthers
This is disappointing. I was hoping we'd be smart and just let him play on the last year of his contract. Giving a 5th year extension to a QB that hasn't had 2 franchise QB performances back to back in 3 years makes zero sense. At some point Bryce has to feel the pressure to perform or know he's gone. I want to believe Dan is going to be a really good GM. poo like this makes me think otherwise. -

Can't you protect 4 players on PS? -
I think he's going to end up on a prove it deal if he comes back. I cant see anyone paying him a 4 year contract premium LT money without seeing him in live action for a season. It's just too darn risky.
-
Right now I think we're proceeding as if his career is over. The recovery rate back to full NFL readiness is very low. If Icky returns, he probably needs to go inside where he won't have to rely so much on the lateral movement. Unfortunate situation, but it shows why you need guys training to be a #1 at key positions. LT, QB, green dot LB. Any of these guys are 1 injury away from their careers being on the rocks.

Very true. It looks good on paper for now. None of the picks look like panic picks, unlike Fitterer. I'm happy we finally drafted a center. We've been playing guys off injury or out of position for nearly a decade. Biggest hope is now that Canales won't be calling plays, we can end up getting something out of XL inside the hashes where he has room to run and stop trying to use him on the boundary where he sucks.

Brockermeyer to the Falcons feels wrong. -
Was listening to a podcast a couple days ago and they were talking about how Canales said he wanted to use Legette after he was drafted and he hasn’t followed through with any of it. Not saying they were right, but it was an interesting take I hadn't heard before.

Still available. Pittsburgh was interested at one time. -
That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.
SmokinwithWilly replied to DaveThePanther2008's topic in Carolina Panthers
I'm good with the Freeling pick. LT is a position that doesn't hurt from sitting half the season, just to get used to NFL edge rushers, similar to rookie QBs. -

I wanted a tackle as long as we didn't reach or pass on an elite blue chip if one miraculously fell, and as long as we weren't trying to make a RT fit into the LT spot. I expected us to come out with at least 1 lineman, possibly 2 and maybe 3 if we grabbed one in the 6th or an UDFA that stuck. We need depth. Last year we used 14 linemen. The trenches are a meat grinder. -
Do we look at Jermod McCoy? 1st round talent coming off torn ACL.

Hypothetical Pick If Not Freeling
SmokinwithWilly replied to PantherBoy95's topic in Carolina Panthers
You hope. Though I still wonder why we took Wallace over Wilson in 24. -

I'd be happy with McNeil-Warren if we somehow could in round 2. Dude is an absolute thumper. -
