Keeping Miles Sanders( even at a reduced salary) would be a huge, ‘WTF!!?

IDK, if he came back at a reduced price I wouldn't mind it.  He played well down the stretch last year and it would cross a need off

 

I don't even give inches 1% chance to stay here, even with them respecting his professionalism. Dan is just lip service on this, he's gone.

*unless they screwed up his contract. There was a 2 year out - POTENTIAL OUT: 2025, 2 YR, $13,200,000; $2,950,000 DEAD CAP. Best I understand its 5 million in cap space SAVED. Besides one game and few snaps, he's done less than UDFA level. He does blitz pickup great. Chubba just out ran him with weak or strong OLs.

Carolina can do better.

President of football operations and general manager Dan Morgan spoke with reporters from the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine on Tuesday. He was asked if the outcome of Super Bowl LIX, in which the Philadelphia Eagles dominated the Kansas City Chiefs through their overwhelming defensive line, served as a reminder for the importance of having a strong front.

“Yeah, I don’t think we needed the Eagles game to understand that,” Morgan said with smile. “I think, both sides of the ball, you have to win the line of scrimmage. You have to be bigger, you have to be tougher, you have to be more physical—and that’s what we’re looking to do around here.

“We’re looking to build that defensive line like we built the offensive line last season. Give the fans a good product on the field, give us a good product on the field. And we’re excited. We’re excited about the guys in free agency, we’re excited about the guys in the draft, and we think we can fill some of those holes.”

Gotta have someone fill Ian Thomas’s role on the roster

It definitely sounds obvious Dan Morgan wants to address the defense first and foremost (not a big surprise). But I wish he’d put on more of a poker face when he talks about his plans. He’s extremely easy to read and I hope a team who wants the same player we want (Jalon Walker) won’t take advantage of that. I’m hoping I don’t hear stories like last year when we told XL we were going to draft him. It’s good to hear that Morgan feels more comfortable as a GM in year 2. Hopefully it’s translates to quality draft picks. We desperately need it. Can’t wait for the draft.

The team doctors decided he didn't need one. Instead he had surgery on his foot
