If you are GM of the team…do you re sign Foreman to a long term deal?

He’s nothing special all he’s getting is volume with a solid Oline 

Define special?

He is a solid running back who can move the pile and pick up the tough yards better than any rb we have had since Jonathan Stewart.   We should not break the bank for him, but signing him for about 4 million a year (which would put him around 20th in rb pay) for 3 years or so, wouldn't be a bad deal

That would be a terrible deal when you can draft a RB in the third that can help in all 3 facets of the game is younger more explosive and cheaper

You think you're going to find a 250 pb horse who can step in like this in the 3rd round? The only reason the Titans let him go is because they have a bigger horse.

That's $10 million a year for what would likely be a 1,100 to 1,300 yard rusher who is a tank

That's never played a full season and has had injury issues. And was considering retiring before this season.

I don't think that's a bad investment.

Thank goodness you're not a GM

In order to get paid more than an average running back, you need to be able to do more in an offense built around using all a RB talents like CMC in SF. We don't have that here. Would need to see some massive upgrades at the OC position to consider paying him more than JAG salary. I'd have no issue giving him a 3 year contract for 3-4m per if he was used like CMC, Ekeler, Saquan, or others in the passing game, but he's not. Alexander Mattison is someone I would rather target if we were going to spend money on a RB, and even then it would be 2 or 3 year at 2.5-3.

keep him if possible. no low ball disrespect offer  but let him test market. 2-3 years market value and add a later round RB rookie to fill the gaps if he gets injured.  is Blackshear around for a bit or is a 1 year rental? if so he is another guy to offer a deal but not crazy money. going into next season with Chubba, Foreman and Blackshear with a young guy with a chip on his shoulder for not being drafted earlier would be the way to go.  we really can't afford to use a high pick on RB with all the other needs.

If we don't pay him what he wants, he'll go to someone who will pay. He's not going to take the vet minimum or a team friendly deal just to stay in Carolina.

Whereupon we will sign one of the literally hundreds of players capable of getting 4 to 5 ypc behind a solid offensive line and save our cap space to pay guys like Horn and Burns, who's skill sets are far rarer and matter far more to winning. Oh and that Oline. You pay your Oline if they're good and then you can plug in Kermit the Frog at RB and do just fine.

I like D'onta Freeman.

I liked CMC.

You don't pay running backs in the modern NFL if you want to win.

      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.

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

      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.
