I want OBJ, but I'm pretty sure he doesn't want anything to do with us. Still we are almost certain to sign a big time #1 WR or trade for one or something. We can't go into this draft looking for a number 1 WR. We'd have to do some serious moves to make something happen. Much better to find a WR before the draft and scratch that off the list. I don't even mind if the WR deal or trade isn't great, but I don't want CJ throwing to a weak rookie #1 WR. We've got to find him someone.

Hardman + Thielen + Schultz/Geisecki + secondary TE like a Bratte.

We do need a seam stretching TE too. Feel like Geisecki's blocking might take him off our wish list though. Thinking more like an Ebron type of signing coming. 

Oh and I forgot about DJ Chark and Darius Slayton as a speed merchants as well.

Im convinced Nuk will be our big trade. It has to be because we literally have nothing on offense right now. You can't give a rookie QB nothing to work with and expect the season to go smoothly.

Nuk would be awesome…5th rounder.  Risky cuz he had that drug suspension last season.

Yeah it's like a certainty we're trading for a WR or signing someone who can be a #1. DeAndre Hopkins, or OBJ, or pick one. Something has to happen. And that's not me expecting the Panthers to have a wining season because of signing a WR. It's just I don't want CJ throwing to trash and losing his confidence and taking coverage sack hits.

Thielen barely functioning as a #2 the last 2 seasons.  He is as done as Hakeem Nicks.

Would be this decade’s version of Ricky Parole!!!!

 

he’d be the best friend of a rookie QB and rookie WR

Remember that day. Home crowd went crazy when Ricky snagged that. With then back- up Jake throwing it.

LaPorta in R3 would give us Schultz/Geisecki, Tremble and LaPorta.  I’m just unsure of what the cap hit would be to cut Thomas.

LaPorta in Rd 3 would be a steal. He’s TE3 imo, but I don’t think he and Kincaid/Mayer are too far apart. 
 

We save money on the cap no matter how we part with Thomas, ranging from ~$1.5 to $5mil in 2023 depending on if released or traded and whether it’s pre or post June 1st.
