Cinci has more 2025 cap space than us. Why would a WR choose Young over Burrow?

He not the only WR out there right?? Why are you so stuck on Higgins and not the other 7 Wr on the list??

And again I explained a reason 3 x already.. Doesn’t mean it’s going to happen..

1. Maybe Cincy doesn’t want to put that much money in 1 position group .. They are already paying Burrows and Chase is going to demand top money as well.. Maybe just like the Cowboys they don’t want to pay 2 Wr like number 1 Wr..

2. Maybe Higgins wants to be the number 1 target on his own team.. Wr are called divas for a reason..

3. Other Wr have left better QB to lesser QB before right?? Hill left the best for Tua.. Adam’s left Rodger’s for Las Vegas weird situation and Carr .. Greed and wanting to be the number 1 guy have been motivating before..

Again nobody in this thread said this is a for sure thing but it isn’t impossible either..

It’s not impossible it’s just highly unlikely we get one of these guys. And it’s basically impossible for us to get two of these guys while also needing to improve the line. I’m not stuck on Higgins and I don’t think I even mentioned him. 
 

Nothing in our franchises history indicates we will pull one of these guys unless we get a new GM.

Agree to disagree.…

1. Highly unlikely?? Why?? Literally every analyst and Panthers beat writer are saying nearly the same thing.. “The Panthers offseason mission is to upgrade around BY”.. This is what they have to do to save the investment…

2. Basically impossible really?? We have seen for years now a team like the Saints.. Making FA moves while being 20, 30, 40 million over the cap.. Now us being 40 mil under the cap (without making cuts or restructuring) is impossible for us to sign upgrades??? please make that make sense…

3. Nothing in Franchise history says we won’t do what?? 
Overpay a FA (Miles Sanders)

Get FA (last year and the last 3 years we targeted and gotten FA)

Get the right FA (yeah you might have a point with this regime) 

But again this is a poverty ridden franchise.. They can get FA they can make FA moves and manufacture cap room to do so.. And they have a history of targeting players and getting those players whether it works or not…

I’m just in the I’ll believe it when I see it camp. Too often we look at who could be available during the season and before FA hits a chunk of those guys come off the board raising the prices for the others. We haven’t even been able to retain Burns or Luvu yet. We just brought in AT, Chark, Hurst and Sanders this year… we really feel comfortable with this front office assessing who we should pay in this years group?

I agreed with the “trusting” the FO being a major question mark.. Or a question already answered “we can’t “..

Doesn’t change the fact this poo has to be done and can be done .. With our cap situation the lackluster draft capital and  decision already made.. We have to make moves this way to save the investment in BY.. Plain and simple 

You can’t punt on doing whatever to develop your franchise QB…

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By thennek · Posted

      I forgot about Jackson...definitely elite.  The sad part of your list is that 2 of them were 'there for the taking for the Panthers'.  Rumor has it that Hurney loved Herbert and was vetoed on trying to trade up.  And rumor has it that Frank & McCown wanted Stroud.  I believe both rumors.

      Snow in the high country

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I went on a solo elk hunt in the Flat Tops. It was awesomely miserable. LOL It was a late season hunt, I think third season and it was forecasted to snap off cold with highs in the upper thirties and lows in the single digits. fug it, I'm going anyway. They were wrong. The highs were in the low 20s and the lows were in the negative teens. I shivered so hard the first night I thought my teeth were going to break. It was the only time I've ever been legit concerned that I might be in trouble. Crawled out of my sleeping bag and got a fire started and suffered through the night bundled up next to the fire. I slept the next two nights literally wearing every stitch of clothing I'd brought with Nalgenes full of near boiling water in the bottom of my sleeping bag. That was the only way to have non-frozen water in the morning anyway. There was about a foot of snow on the ground and the melt/freeze crust was almost enough to support your weight but you'd go crashing through just as you went or make your step. It was exhausting travel and every step sounded like a rifle shot. Hunting was basically impossible. I never saw an elk in those four days, only saw 5-6 deer. LOL It was brutal but I loved it. Absolutely beautiful country that is never been to before and haven't been back since. I needed that four day complete break from society fighting for my life against the elements. I'm weird like that.

      Big news that could dramatically affect our offensive production for the rest of the season.

      By Newtcase · Posted

      The lack of production is especially surprising given how much effort the team put into coaxing the best from him.  In just six short years he’s had the opportunity to work with 3 different GMs, 7 different head coaches and 10 different starting quarterbacks.  There’s literally no excuse to be made that one of those combos didn’t work.  It might be time to look withIAN.
