I'm going to go against the grain here. I wouldn't like to sign him. He probably has a year or two left in his prime and it's possible his best days are behind him, he is likely going to be one of those overpriced signings that a few years down the road the team that signed him is trying to move off their books. 

I think this TE class is good enough to wait till the draft and see if we can find value in the third or fourth round. Further I think there are going to be a lot of cap casualties this year. I think we can pair a young guy with a cheaper vet than Rudolph.

Might demand too much money, gives you a good red zone threat but doesn't do much after the catch. OJ Howard is coming off injury and might get cut by TB to save 6 mil, might be worth the reclamation project look on a one year deal. TE is low on my priority list but don't mind having a legit guy there like Cook.

Couple years ago would have jumped at the chance to sign Rudolph.  Now not so much.  Pairing him with Teddy Bridgewater would have made sense at the time.  But with TB likely on his way out, I would rather pair our young QB of the future with his own TE running partner.

Someone on Twitter (Panther reporter I think, but I forget which) pointed out that Joe Brady would be acquainted with Jared Cook.

May not mean anything, but...

But the question would be, do Rhule/Brady want to spend capital on a pass catching TE?   We really don't know the answer to that at this point I think

Jared Cook would be cheaper too and we're only looking for a year, maybe two in a deal

I'd agree it's an unknown.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      By Aussie Tank · Posted

      I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.

      By ColumbusCounty · Posted

      I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
