Someone said we are paying his bonus so it rolls 4 million in cap to 2025. 
 

This is why you can’t react to trade parameters until the dust settles and all the details come out. Its never cut and dry trade x for y.

Wow. Panthers are basically eating $3.2 million to move up 10-15 spots in the fifth round. And it seems telling that nobody else in the league wanted to top that offer when Johnson's basically making the minimum the rest of the way

This team won't win five games the rest of the decade. Not in a season, I mean they won't win five games in the next seven seasons combined.

No other sports team gives up its best players for free, drafts worse, or spends more cap room to be this bad. I'd argue no sports team has ever been the worst in the world at all three, other than this one.

Makes me glad I root for another team.

New Ravens wide receiver Diontae Johnson is a very cheap acquisition in Baltimore.

The Panthers are paying most of Johnson’s remaining salary in the deal, and the Ravens will only have to pay Johnson about $625,000, according to Jeff Zrebiec of TheAthletic.com.

The trade was Johnson and the Panthers’ sixth-round pick for the Ravens’ fifth-round pick. So the Panthers are going to pay more than $3 million in cash and cap space and give Johnson away just to move up maybe 15 spots in the middle of Day 3 of the draft.

 

They might not be pay much but we gained $4 million.

This is clearly a "Bryce is done in Carolina" move if I've ever seen one.

Trading Diontae for a fourth or more (what he's worth at the least) would be acquiring assets as we're in a hard place. However, trading him for absolutely nothing of value while you have half a season left with a floundering rookie quarterback? Yeah, they're done with Bryce.

If Diontae is healthy, and plays up to his potential, he's a number one receiver.

If that turns out to be accurate, and related, it is worth it. Him looming on the sidelines as an option is the biggest hinderance to making progress and will be until it is addressed.

This makes me think Morgan's signing him to a big extension. It makes sense -- think about it; whatever the rest of the world would consider retarded, the Panthers do.

Personally, let's deal No. 1 overall to the Jets for a third and a sixth in 2028.

We sucked at drafting with Rhule Fitterer and so far Morgan too. One common thread remains. Tepper is involved and hands on in the process. Why else keep the scouts through all this league worst suck?

I got no clue how any of these scouts are able to keep jobs. It's one of those jobs were your work is remembered by all and all those reports are kept for future moves. It's trash. Dont you remember them either trading or signing for the first few picks form the jags draft class- cj Henderson, K'Lavon Chaisson, and Laviska Shenault. It's not like they can focus on their trash ass picks, but go after another teams who can not draft either.....

our scouts are team killers

You guys really think the scouts are making the decisions? 

I don't. I think you are worrying about the wrong poo there. It is much more the coaching turnover and the constant tweaking of what they want from one year to the next.

The guy from last year's draft and staff not being the favorite of the new staff. The changing of coordinators nearly annually. A different OL coach. That sort of thing if you ask me. Which you didn't. 

And we had that going on with GM from Rhule then to Fitterer, too.

The process is led heavily by analytics which was introduced when Tepper bought the team. Which is when we went from mediocre to decent drafts to absolute dogshit.

As for the scouts. My feeling on it is if they are still here making money they must be just telling Tepper what he wants to hear. Which is certainly a necessary prerequisite to working for the Carolina Panthers. Those who don't fall in line peace out. Hence the high turnover.

      Best to see Icky in the position we drafted him in to see if he continues making progress. All signs point to Canales/Morgan staying on board and so decisions on whether to move him elsewhere on the line will probably be done during the offseason. Personally, I'm more concerned about a more long-term answer at safety and Moton's spot. Love the guy but he's a FA after 2026 and he'll be 32 by then. Kinda has that sign of having to let a player walk one year too early.

      All I am saying is IMO if we were going to rework or extend his deal I think it would have happened by now.   Just feels like they are going to bite the bullet and let it run its course

      I mean me speaking honestly per normal- RT is not even on my radar for needing fixing....it sorta should be, but I feel its around 20s in "hey this need attention". Motown could have another 5 years of solid play leftd in his body and mind. I know something needs to done with his contract, its had money pushed back into the late years like three times now. He got like a 38 million cap number cause rhule, frittterererer and this past season Dan deferred money.  I think he's been "healthy" for most of his career and seems to work hard at being able to play. He's a good player to have on the team. I got no idea how this plays out.   We need to have friendly bet about Christs next contract- I say he gets 8million per and 40% guaranteed. If he gets below that, you are the true kungfu master- deal?
