SHAQ THOMPSONLB, CAROLINA PANTHERS NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports LB Shaq Thompson will remain with the Panthers on a restructured two-year deal. Thompson was rumored to be a potential cap casualty due to a $24.5 million cap hit in 2023. Although the details of the deal have yet to be announced, it is clear the organization reworked his contract to keep a veteran presence in the second level for a lower number against the cap. All parties should be satisfied as an aging linebacker gets an additional year on his contract while the Panthers retain a defensive captain.

C.J. STROUDQB, COLLEGE PLAYER Multiple sources report the "sense around the league" is that the Panthers moved up for QB C.J. Stroud. That said, the Panthers themselves have made it clear they will continue to keep all options on the table as they now control the top of this year's NFL draft. There are still six weeks before the Panthers will find themselves on the clock, and free agency could see multiple dominoes fall at the quarterback position, but the Panthers now find themselves in control for one of the better quarterback prospects in recent memory. After giving up a robust package to move from the ninth pick to the 1.01, it appears clear the organization knows exactly the route they want to go to set themselves up for the future.

I was excited for the season even before this trade now I’m ecstatic

Excellent post

I’m sure CJ Henderson, Ian Thomas, Tommy Tremble, Laviska Shenault, Shaq Thompson are all available. This is a new coaching staff that have no ties to any of these guys

agree

Panthers got there eyes set on the prize!!! Exciting times if you are a Panthers fan! #KeepPounding — Jonathan Stewart (@Jonathanstewar1) March 10, 2023
