We do need to see more leadership and effort out of him. He absolutely got lazy on routes where he was supposed to clear out defenders to open up other guys, like when he got Robby pummeled. Whether the losing got to him or not, I don’t know, but he got called out by the announcers multiple games in a row and that’s not acceptable. He’s got the talent and I don’t want to trade him and it shouldn’t even be a discussion except for the fact that Robby was extended.

It wouldn't be surprising at all if the losing and poor QB play was getting to him. Hell, I wouldn't blame him if he demanded a trade at some point.

I doubt he'd demand a trade...but only because he's about to start his 5th season.

DJ will be a free agent at the end of the season. If he chooses not to resign with Carolina, they'll have to let him leave & pick the team of his choice, or hold him hostage by franchising him in 2023.

1) Any competent agent is gunna use the whole “3 consecutive 1000 yd seasons” argument as if that means he’s elite in order to push for the most money possible. So while we don’t know the number, is probably okay to assume he’s wanting to secure a large bag

2) You definitely don’t have to resign your own guys, especially not when you have bigger needs and are still building your identity.

Yeah you dont get rid of players who consecutively go over 1000 yards yearly. Also, only four WR's currently make 20 mill or over(Amari, Keenan, Julio, Hopkins). I look at players like Chris Godwin(15 mill), Kenny Golladay(18 mill), I think Dj will get between those ranges. And he definitely deserves it I would be happy to sign him to even a 20 million a year contract. Robby makes 14 million yearly, those are the contracts you avoid. Thats where you waste your cap signing one year wonders to overvalued contracts, resigning your 24 yearold star receiver is the right move. 

You resign your good players its how you create and maintain a good roster. Letting stars go without any massive reason, in return creating massive voids hoping draft picks which statistically highly flop is how you ruin your roster. Were DJ moore away from Robby being our #1 WR... let that sink in

Godwin was on a franchise tag. Not a long term deal. That 18M would be his absolute floor. And he would be crazy to take it with the Panthers not knowing what sort of QB he might play with for the next couple years. Hard to justify giving RA 2/29.5M with one good season and not giving DJ 20M. If Burns makes another Pro Bowl, his 5th year option is 20M. Restructure Moton and his annual hit will be 24M. Shaq is at 18M already. 
 

     If I’m DJ my holdout starts now so I can get to a new team before the draft. What situation would be worse for him to boost his value for FA in 2023. Or sign with the team that just traded for him. I don’t know if the Panthers should trade him, but I do know he has better options elsewhere. And if they don’t want to give him 20M/yr, trade him now while his value is still there.

I'd definitely trade him for a 1 or a 2.  He is at best a 2nd WR.  He is inconsistent and not dominant and sometimes just looks like he doesn't have focus.

I am hoping TMJ starts to put it together this year.  We need a guy that can be a red zone threat.

It would have to be a first to even get a conversation initiated. Do you recall the Panthers history with 2nd round picks? TMJ has to make his way onto the field and so far he has yet to do anything to break the cycle of our not so good history with that particular round of the draft.

Watson didn't want to come here last go around you think he will want to when we trade away our top young WR? The whole debacle in Houston began with moving Hopkins for basically peanuts.

End all be all Watson wants to be out of Houston but Houston can be petty and nix anything that doesn’t give them the best offer. These “he won’t want to come here” won’t be 100 percent known till March.

Oh of course we have no certainty on the notion but if it's between us and the Bucs the Saints possibly NYG or another big market our looming lame duck coaching situation and oline will not do us any favors.

      Trading Down Could be a Gold Mine in This Draft!!

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      This is why it's probably going to be hard to trade down. This draft is fairly light on top tier talent but pretty deep in talent of that next tier down. I don't think there's going to be a lot of teams clamoring to move up and numerous teams might be entertaining moving down. Not a good market to trade down if that's the case.

      And if they can't find a reasonable trade down (I think we would need a 2nd rounder this year bare minimum to make any trade down worth it). I would definitely expect Dan to trade UP for an EDGE or LB in the top half of R2. Just makes too much sense. We also have a plethora of mid round picks to use as ammo.

      I don't mean to make this a mock draft thread particularly,  but every time I do a mock I have been investigating the talent that goes off the board between picks 8 and our low 2nd rounder pick 57. There is a gargantuan amount of talent still left on the board in the top half of the 2nd round every time I do one. Losing our original 2nd round pick to the Bears as the last pick of the Bryce trade stings badly .  I'm particularly looking at elite players like Carson Schwesinger (LB), Luther Burden (WR), Matthew Golden (WR), Maxwell Hairston (CB) , Nick Scourton , Landon Jackson, Donavan Ezeraku (all DEs/OLBs) . The sweet spot in this draft really feels like pick 15 to 40 - ish. This is why the Bears should be making bank with this draft. I don't know how realistic a trade down is from 8, but if we could pick up any teams higher 2nd rounder and still grab their 1st? We'd be cooking with gas man.  Say for example we get Tet McMillan at pick 8, if you wait all the way to 57 you stand the chance of not getting any impact pass rushers in this draft. And I don't think this team can afford that.  I'd personally love for them to take a break from drafting wrs in R1 or R2 (i think we've taken one in the top 2 rounds in the majority of the past few years), and stick to repairing the nfls worse defense in history (in terms of total points against iirc, or was it yards? Also included my most recent mock as an example . Don't put too much into the  late round selections lol
