If Milton's camp was sold on the Panthers, they wouldn't be listening to other offers. They are listening, so....

Bingo.

It's sounds like there was a deal in principle, but some late players came into the picture. Until there's ink on paper, everything is fluid.

They've got a chunk of change in the piggy bank. Yes, that's #4 in cap space.

Or they believe he won't be there.

A couple of CBs spoken for; Adebo (Giants) and Lewis (Jags).

LBs, OL and DL have been in demand early on.

Aren't they out of business? If so, no wonder.

Got it, but the Jags are a small market and have a decent amount of wins and NY is the largest market and have the worst projected record in the NFL. Simply pointing out your over simplification of this data is off the mark. I think the Jets have 6 wins, the other NY team. Chicago is 7 wins. Chargers 8. Big markets with less than lofty predictions. Yes, perennial favorites are still high, but they are consistently good for a reason.

Makes more sense than other teams he's been rumored to be linked to. They have a decent roster that can make noise with solid QB play and lack a sure-fire QB1.

The Jags have 8 wins and the Giants 4. So no, that is not the case entirely.

A couple more DTs off the market, Kinlaw and Hill.

They probably will.

Blah, heck no to Falcons castoffs.

ESPN FA tracker. Latest updates are just scheduled visits. Nobody linked to the Panthers yet.

I'm not so sure it's lazy as they did the entire NFL, not just the Panthers. Was there some bias in the input? Probably, but running statistical analysis isn't inherently biased. I'm not going to dig into their methods for creating all this data, but I'm confident this report wasn't done by homer Falcons and Saints fans...that's to say they had malice towards the Panthers regarding the less than flattering projection for our team in 2025.

I saw that too. Sure some factors of input will be off the mark. Again, these are just projections, but analytics are a huge thing for a reason. I would venture the win total for us is closer to right than not.

At least we are supposedly better than the Giants. If they finish last, Daboll and Schoen are outta there.

I get it, but they are not doom and gloom for all teams. Some teams have rosy projections.

Team by team projections and as much stats as any numbers nerd could ever dream of. Scroll to the Panthers and *woof* they think more highly of a steaming pile of elephant dung. Statistically an underdog in EVERY game and no better than 6 wins. https://g.espncdn.com/s/ffldraftkit/25/NFLDK2025_CS_ClayProjections2025.pdf

Hmmm...this is interesting, but it's not like he's blown the market out of the water i.e. Watson contract at the time.
