Per Mike Kaye, Charlotte Observer 

▪ Impending free agents: If this beat writer was in Brady Christensen’s shoes, I’d look to head elsewhere for better pay and a guaranteed starting job. But if he can’t and that opportunity, the Panthers getting him back would be a huge boost for the ofensive line. Otherwise, the rest of the re-signing options are pretty much toss-ups.

Long snapper JJ Jansen and punter Johnny Hekker have value beyond their job titles. Cornerback Mike Jackson, tight end Tommy Tremble and wide receiver David Moore really t in well with the culture, and all three played well in pretty big spots this season.

Andy Dalton wants to return, and with Bryce Young in the QB1 seat, keeping that room together makes sense.

Feleipe Franks and Sam Franklin are logical targets for re-signing because of their value on special teams. Re-signing Austin Corbett and Cade Mays to compete at center is a logical, costeective strategy that seems to align with the way the Panthers will approach their already expensive trench group

Wouldn't be mad to see Woods go.

He needs to go.

I’m tired of seeing him always trying to go for the knockout hits (which he doesn’t even do right most of the time) instead of wrapping up and missing easy tackles.

While on the subject:

 

The Panthers saw enough in Ekwonu to make him the first offensive tackle off the board in the 2022 NFL Draft. It's been a rollercoaster ride, but the player's determination in the face of adversity should be rewarded.

 

This is not going to be cheap. According to recent projections from Over the Cap, Ekwonu's fifth-year option will cost the Panthers around $18.42 million, which is based on the lineman's playing time throughout his stint in the league so far.

I don't think our front office is interested in bringing back most of these guys, including the 5 restricted FA's

Exception is Cade Mays, he's going to be re-signed and I think we're bringing back Austin Corbett on a 1 year deal to compete with Mays at OC. 

This would be a cheaper option that attempting to re-sign Brady Christensen
