Competition in our WR room is good no matter how you want to look at it. That will be very beneficial in camp. Now if we can only get consistently better ball placement

Honestly don't understand how this signing is so contentious. He'll compete. He could end up being a real asset for us as well. Low risk high reward.

I didn't know he has already been in the league seven seasons. Either way we were going OT early in the draft.

The league has shown again and again you can get very solid production out of younger backs even in FA on lower end deals. Why would we chase after Kamara? See what Brooks has in camp and go from there.

LaMelo Brandon Miles and Kon all with 20 or more points in the win against Sacramento.

I called this from the moment the Falcons gave him that ridiculously stupid contract.

Good move for the WR room. If we manage to add one of Njoku or Goedert at TE that should close the door on any excuses for our passing offense. Get in the damn end zone.

They gave Bryce Young his Byron Bell. Now go out and there win the division bud.

I'm with you. We just have to wait and see how it unfolds.

Honestly that is still too much for one of the worst OT in the league. But this is where we're at based on the exorbitant amount we have invested in the OL. For anyone interested we are currently jostling with the Broncos for the highest paid OL in the league again for 2026 already. Based on cap % we are the highest. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/position/offensive-line/_/year/2026/table/active/sort/cap_total

They are absolutely still protecting Bryce. They are giving him one last shot before they close the door. I mean this kid has started all three of his first seasons in the league playing like one of the worst QB's in Panthers history. The issue is you can't rule out the Panthers decision makers seeing just enough from him to convince themselves he's worth an extension. If he needs to be carried in any way shape or form across the season for us to be competitive then he has to go.

The cap is workable for sure although I think some people here are definitely hopped up on hopium going as far as calling it a myth and this and that. Best case scenario would be to ride it out and let Bryce sink or swim. The pieces are in place and we will add even more with the draft. If he sinks which there is a high probability of it based on his physical limitations then you insert another QB into the fold in 2027 like the Seahawks did with Sam Darnold and keep it pushing. But if the decision makers are not looking closely at the very glaring cautionary tale of Tua and the Dolphins and are mulling over sinking the cap on BY now that would be akin to career suicide for anyone involved IMO. I cannot rule out the possibility unfortunately.

Brissett is intriguing. But he'll be 34 near the end of this upcoming season and that cliff for aging QB's shows up quick fast and in a hurry.

Most would agree Derrick Brown is the safest bet with kicking the can down the road. The issue is it isn't going to stop there and someone like Jaycee Horn is probably next. That's where we enter murky waters.

If they are truly considering it at this juncture they will be lucky to get a job anywhere else with any level of comparable responsibility again. The whole point of having a playoff window is to have maneuverability and that will cease with a BY contract extension for a QB who is realistically bottom 10 amongst all starters.
