Texas + South Carolina players = Carolina Longc0cks

Panthers reportedly 'intrigued' by Arizona WR Tetairoa McMillan, per Joe Person McMillan has great size (6-4, 219) and an uncanny ability to high-point the ball. Without blazing speed, there are concerns about his ability to separate. Some in Carolina’s organization are intrigued. https://pantherswire-eu.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/03/24/2025-nfl-draft-rumors-panthers-tetairoa-mcmillan-interest/82634663007/

According to Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer, the team is hosting safeties Julian Blackmon and Marcus Williams on free-agent visits today. Blackmon, a third-round pick of the Indianapolis Cols from 2020, has played five NFL seasons. The 26-year-old has amassed 300 combined tackles, 10 interceptions, 21 passes defensed, two forced fumbles and four fumble recoveries over 66 games. Williams, a 2017 second-round selection by the New Orleans Saints, is set to enter his ninth pro campaign in 2025. The 28-year-old has split his career between the Saints and the Baltimore Ravens—totaling 469 tackles, 20 interceptions, 56 passes defensed, three forced fumbles and four fumble recoveries.

Kicker Joey "BIG LEG" Slye agreed to a contract with the Tennessee Titans, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

JEOPARDY TOPIC HIGHER FLOORS THAN CEILINGS

Honestly, I think the way ahead to get out of paying our OL so much is to draft our way out. Let the expensive deals play out like Moton, and draft the replacements. Easier said than done with our drafting history, but hopefully this is how we get it done. I just wouldn't want us to jump the gun on this. Every draft we should be taking at least one OL prospect.

"Free agent S Julian Blackmon is on a free agent visit to the Panthers today, sources say," Rapoport wrote. "Just 26, Blackmon has been a starter with the Colts for the last five years. Carolina is still looking to add on defense, with Blackmon being the latest they’re taking a look at." A former third-round pick of the Colts in 2020, Blackmon spent the first five years of his career in Indianapolis, where he tallied 300 tackles, 13 tackles for loss, 21 passes defensed and 10 interceptions in that span. In 2024, Blackmon finished with 86 tackles, four passes defensed, three interceptions and one tackle for loss. The 26-year-old also posted Pro Football Focus grades of 73.5 in coverage and 55.1 in run defense. https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/carolina-panthers-nfl-free-agency-visit-julian-blackmon

According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the Panthers are hosting former Indianapolis Colts safety Julian Blackmon on a free-agent visit on Monday.

I personally think the giants will have a new staff following this season.

The Chargers are signing former Jets TE Tyler Conklin to a one-year deal, per his agent Mike McCartney. A new weapon for Justin Herbert

The Steelers’ meeting with Aaron Rodgers ended about a half-hour ago. He spent time with GM Omar Khan, coach Mike Tomlin and OC Arthur Smith. No deal, but there was no expectation that would happen today. The sides will keep talking. 7:44 PM · Mar 21, 2025

Justin Simmons seems to only want to go to a contender. He has mentioned Eagles and Commanders as wish list landing spots.

Which WR room would you like for Bryce Young? A.) Tetairoa McMillen, Xavier Legette, Adam Thielen & Jalen Coker B.) Matthew Golden, Xavier Legette, Adam Thielen & Jalen Coker C.) Luther Burden, Xavier Legette, Adam Thielen & Jalen Coker D.) Emeka Egbuka, Xavier Legette, Adam Thielen , & Jalen Coker

I think you’re thinking of Armand Membou, Missouri OT.

He has also been openly saying he wants Carolina to draft him with all of the former gamecocks on the team
