Evidence that D-Will will remain a Panther?

Per Rotoworld:

Over the past few months, Klis' colleagues at the Post have repeatedly painted the picture of Moreno as a third-down back under new coach John Fox. The gears changed Thursday, with Klis suggesting the Broncos will add a "1B-type" of back to "complement" Moreno. We're not sure what's changed, but it could be a realization that DeAngelo Williams will be tough to pry away from Carolina under a flexible cap with a 72-hour exclusive negotiating window. As we've stated all offseason, Williams may be the only available back able to beat out Moreno in a fair competition.

based on that train of thought....you could say that about every FA that one party hasn't expressed they want the relationship to end.

I think the author basically means that with our cap room we can outbid Denver and they've assumed that we will do whatever it takes to keep D-Will....not a correct assumption IMO...

I agree. But Carolina has a history of investing in guys when they should be parting ways. The reason the Patriots are so good isn't b/c they draft great with there 1000 draft picks.....it is b/c they say good bye at the right time (even to big names and fan favorites) and bring in new blood through FA imo. Belichick would have made sure Williams got traded last year.

They release players when they are starting to head down hill, which imo, DeAngelo is still climbing due to not having a ton of miles on his tires for this point in his career.

I hope nobody misunderstood and thinks that I believe we're better off with DeAngelo. I think our team is much better with him here and hope they can retain him. I just believe that this authors assumption that we will pay DeAngelo whatever it takes to keep him is incorrect. I feel 100% confident we will offer him a fair and generous deal whether he accepts fair and generous market value is another question....

I don't see how this is actual evidence.

It's not. (Thanks for the ? mark i requested in title). But, you can reasonably assume if this reporters source is reliable, then they don't believe that D-will will sign with the Broncos if Hurney is given time to negotiate with him. I don't think D-will really wants to leave and if given a reasonable offer he will choose to stay.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.

      I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
