Do we attempt to extend Diontae this season?

[Panthercougar68]

Naturally the KC chiefs fans think Diontae will be traded to them before the deadline because they are spoiled but anyway.

Do you think these past two games have shown that Diontae can be here for the long haul or do we wait and see how the season plays out.

I think an extension would be good to keep offensive pieces consistent.

[JawnyBlaze]

Absolutely. He’s a strong #1 and the perfect kind of WR for whatever QB we draft. 

[Panthera onca]

Depends on what the Chiefs are willing to give up for him.

If its a crazy deal I can see it but all you keep seeing people throw around are 3rds and 4ths.

Fans of other teams seem to think the panthers only have a handful of picks and no first next year

We currently have 9 picks.

[PootieNunu]

This is a guy we need to keep, really like his game with a competent QB. Defenses are going to have to game plan for him and Dalton. That is going to open up other guys for lots of opportunities, hopefully they get the drops out of their system. 

[Panthera onca]

If we can't get a second + a late round pick for him then work out an extension if possible. Diontae will want big money though. The Chiefs are in the middle of their Super Bowl window and might just be desperate enough to part with a second.

Johnson + Mingo + 2025 4th 

for

Worthy

Let the Xaviers unite to solidify our WR room for the next 4.5 years. 

Their cheap contracts would allow us to compete for signing Higgins. 
 

Higgins/Legette outside with Worthy in the slot is likely the best WR corp ever for our franchise.

See if Buffalo is dumb enough to trade a 1st for him at the trade deadline.

 

If not you keep him. He has a problem with drops, but my goodness this dude is elite at getting open. We haven't had that kind of WR in a while. I like him, but I do recognize he could also be a valuable piece for a draft pick.

 

I'm cool either way as long as the value makes sense trade or extension.

[JawnyBlaze]

A second? Hell no. We’re not going to replace his production with a second, not even close. Even a first would have me iffy, since it’ll be a very late first. Worth more to us than any contender is going to part with for him. 

[pantherj]

I'd trade him for a 1st, but no way in hell for a 2nd and some scraps. No thanks. We have WRs who can produce right now, and an aging QB. Don't take Dalton's weapons away with the idea of slowly bringing some rookies in to learn. If Dalton is clicking with a vet, then the vet stays unless we get a crazy offer. 1st round pick would be a crazy offer, but anything less and hell no to that.

[LinvilleGorge]

I'd shop him to contenders with need at the deadline. He's playing well but he's a headcase. That's why the Steelers were happy to ship him off for a 6th. I'd honestly rather have good draft compensation than sink big guaranteed money into a guy who might be a taking time bomb. I'd definitely keep him through the season and take the comp pick afterwards if we were developing a young QB but that's just not the case.

[thennek]

yes sign him.  The Panthers have to start keeping what little talent they have and build around it.  

[OneBadCat]

I think we have to keep him. We finally have real weapons at WR. As soon as we trade him, we'll just be in search of another WR.

Our offense has some serious potential. Let's not mess that up.

[Eazy-E]

He and XL should be viewed as our 1 and 2 for the next 4 years. If everything is worked out correctly, DJs money should be coming off the books when it’s time to extend XL.

We can’t afford to keep trading away our proven WR threats.
