Lol trade back up to 6 to trade back down again.

Gotta let this man live In peace now. He ruined his career and wasted a lot of potential, but clearly had it rough after the death of his mother. I feel bad for him...unlike D Will who is, and always will be a total ass.

This will forever be the hype music played for whatever team has to start Teddy in the future:

No way he gets to 8

Maybe the GM should have taken the opinion of the film and scouts over a brother. He wasn’t the GM...some of you acted like he had unlimited power within the organization. He has nothing to do with his brother being signed. The guy was the best center we have ever had, and did it the right way.

What are you talking about? Dude was the best center we have ever had and so what if Injuries caught up to him in his 30’s....that happenS to about 99 percent of all players at some point. He may of recommended his brother but he wasn’t the fugging GM. That’s on Gettleman not him as a player. What would you expect? Him to say his brother was terrible?

For those wondering...it only says Kalil endorsed him and that’s all, no details: March 11: The Panthers begin their due diligence on Darnold, a process that includes a study of his three years of NFL game tape by Rhule and the team’s pro scouts. Rhule had met virtually with Darnold in 2019 when interviewing for the Jets’ head coaching vacancy but had not done a thorough film review at that time. Rhule and Fitterer also begin talking to Robby Anderson and other players who were teammates with Darnold in New York. On this day, fortuitous scheduling provides the Panthers an opportunity to meet with another ex-Jet. Former Panthers center Ryan Kalil is in town for the joint retirement ceremony for Thomas Davis and Greg Olsen. At a lunch with members of the Panthers front office, Kalil endorses Darnold. The two ex-USC stars were teammates in New York in 2019 when Kalil put his retirement off for one season. “I keep going back to the competitor that Sam is,” Fitterer says Monday during a Zoom with reporters. “I’ve talked to players, people in the Jets organization. There’s players that have been there, and they all just rave about the work ethic, the person, the guy that comes in the building every day. I love that — that we’re adding that to our locker room.”

April 2: At the start of the holiday weekend, Fitterer and Douglas still have not reached that happy medium. The Panthers’ initial offer was a fourth-round pick for Darnold, while Douglas was looking for something more substantial, such as a future first-round pick. With the Panthers’ selections falling in the top 10 in each of the first six rounds, Fitterer is not willing to part with a high pick in this year’s draft. “We wanted to keep our picks this year — one, two and three. That was really important to us, especially picking as high as we are in some of those rounds,” he says. “So those factors played into it. And just the fact that we could use picks next year — picks two and four next year — that really helped out. And that’s how we came to this agreement.”

Fitterer said hell no to trading that much for the #3 and getting someone like Mac Jones: “Also on this day, the 49ers make a huge move by trading their No. 12 pick, two future first-round picks and a third-round selection to the Dolphins for the No. 3 pick. Most observers believe San Francisco jumped up to take a quarterback. While the move surprises many, Fitterer saw it coming because the Panthers also had talked to Miami about the possibility of moving to No. 3. Ultimately, the Panthers balked at the draft picks that Miami wanted. Plus, Fitterer was reluctant to make a move before the Panthers completed their evaluations of the top QBs in the draft by attending the pro days for Wilson and Fields.”

Don’t forget DT. We need one, maybe two.

I’m happy with it. We literally have Jackson and Pride (who has yet to prove that he can be an effective starter) at corner and that’s it.

Absolutely. The only thing we do know is that Rhule has the final call on things

Rhule makes all final decisions. It was absolutely his decision.

We get a future franchise QB without trading multiple first round picks? Consider me sold.

No....we need a franchise QB. Anything other than that, we are just wasting our time like we are with Teddy.

Says some random guy on an internet football message board.

Imagine thinking you would have to have a fallback in case Jones isn’t available at 3. Are we in the twilight zone? Or the move twilight?

No question. That would be an all time terrible move

It would be best case for us
