There are a bunch of solid FA options next year. I wonder if that will cause the market price to drop a bit. Right now it’s at a high and we aren’t 100% sure how good he will be in a different system plus how XL and Mingo develop. I’d wait until the offseason personally…

Extending a player that hasn't played for us yet would be a very Panthers move.

Not quite. doing it again when it hasn't worked before, now THAT would be a panthers move. 

Not like it hasn't worked before. Who have we last signed or attached a year extra onto his contract before... oh... checks Sam Darnold Notes... oh dear god

Depends on his behavior, but Id for sure do it if Bryce was truly clicking with him.

It's just the WR market is insane and this guy had some huge baggage. 

But so does Carolina.........

Morgan should have seen enough for there to be talks. Soon or later the Panthers MUST stop having 50 million in dead cap and be able to sign a couple difference makers. I think its either 3 or 4 years in a row with 50 million in dead cap, just piss poor GMing.

 This is those radio talk guys that are the sports equivalent of shock jocks. Just engineering an argument to get eyes and ears. 

I’m not even listening to that. I know the answer and it is no. If he has a great year he will probably want to stick. If he leaves his great year attracts another guy that wants one.

No reason to extend him before the end of next season. 

1, he's looking to get paid, therefore he wants to perform well to maximize his pay day. 

2, is a waste of time to even think about at this time. 

So in other words don't extend him now wait until he balls out. Then pay him too dollar in the off-season after his big season.

 

Thank goodness some people aren't GM's in real life.

 

Extend him now we get him for fair value. This guy is clearly talented. He's going to ball out and we will have to overpay if we wait. When you bring in a talented WR you sign him right away.

It is fine to pay him a good contract but he needs to earn it. They have to pay somebody in ’25. He needs to fit and show he is that guy, in this offense. 

If he doesn’t, stick.. I know he is talented, but that would shift the perception of players, in regards to coming to Carolina. A great year for this guy probably means a great year for the team. A reversal of trajectory. Maybe another guy who is blocked but really good, gets another prove it deal. 

What do we know about him as far as holding up mentally physically over 17 games? Let’s find out.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
