I love CMC. When healthy I think he's the best non-QB offensive player in the league. The problem is that "when healthy" stipulation. He's barely played the past two seasons. I'm not saying we should definitely trade him, but we should definitely shop him.

That is salary cap suicide, unfortunately.

I see all teams that don't have a franchise QB as rebuilding because they aren't going anywhere without one. We are nowhere near ready to compete to make the playoffs, so we're rebuilding. And next season is a rebuilding season as well unless we land Watson. The thing is that Watson rejected the idea of coming here and invoked his no trade clause, so we're rebuilding next season.

Trading our vets for picks is fine by me so long as we get halfway decent deals. We don't need vets until we land a franchise QB, and this draft doesn't have that type of guy. The Panthers won't take a QB in this draft, and the reason I know that is because we passed on Fields, and Fields would be the first QB off the board in this upcoming draft.

Gilmore and Jackson do not need to be resigned. Try to trade Burns and offer a friendly deal. Get rid of Miller completely. Draft the best o-lineman on the board if you can't trade down, and with the 6th pick we should land a long term starter at LT or C/OG. Use the later rounds for depth. Play 2022 with Sam and go into 2023 with a top 10 pick shopping for a QB.

2 years outta 5 service isnt good... move him to the slot may give him some longevity with occasional mix in the backfield for a twist in the offense...but that would mean somebody has to get off their ass and figure out how to use him to our advantage rather than pound him up the middle to get murdered... but think we godda eat 22 salary and keep him around.

Do not trade Cmac.

We should trade Burns take advantage of his pro bowl status get a 2nd and 3rd.

Lose and trade the (5th) back and pick up the Iowa center. Roll with BC at left T and sink or swim.

Resign Reddick.

Either keep Gilmore or Djack.

Unless something falls in our Lap Roll with Sam and get 1st pick in 2023 or he blossoms.

Sign Cam for 2mil a year to be our Taysom.

Fire Rhule get a NFL staff.

 

This will go a long way to fix things.

I can’t take another year of losing. Especially with (statistically) one of the best Ds in the league. 
 

Trade Burns and CMC to the Texans. But….not for Watson. Trade them for Laremy Tunsil and a 2nd round pick. Tunsil wants out of HOU. He’s a pro bowl LT. Having Burns on a massive deal is going to hold this team back. This also offloads the CMC deal. 
 

I agree with trading back. But only because I think a good QB will be available in the 2nd round or bottom of the 1st. Take the C from Iowa in the first round. 
 

Find a way to also get Willis from Liberty or Pickett. I think Willis is gonna be limited by his college competition. Pickett by the combine. Idt either goes top 10 (at this point). There is no point in resigning Cam. 
 

I agree with resigning Reddick. 
 

Let Jackson walk. Resign Gilmore. 
 

Trade Darnold for literally anything that eliminates his contract. 
 

See if the Jags will trade Minshew so there can be an experienced veteran on the team. 
 

Chances are even with those moves well be at the bottom of the league. BUT…you’ve fixed the OL, drafted the future at QB, and kept the defense competitive. Add another piece in 2023 and allow the 2022 QB to succeed with additional pieces.
