splash, no. signing players who 90% of us have never heard of, that we look up on wikipedia and find a highlight or two and subsequently overrate their potential and then shrug when 2/3rds of them are cut at the end of training camp, probably.

Where was the money when the Redskins signed every big name FA out there?

If a team wants to sign players and pay them whatever they can make it happen. It's just a maker of doing it and then dealing having to deal the consequences down the road. The good GM, and Hurney has been good at this, can balance this out to where those future cuts are already planned for.

I actually have a sneaking feeling that the Panthers might make a run for and sign Mario Williams. Hurney has never had a problem with paying as many as 3 dlineman big contracts and right now only C Johnson has one so...

Nope. The Panthers' MO has always to retain their own players first. Signing FA's are like a luxury to them. I think there's gonna be a big cut soon, someone like Davis or Otah. It's not that I wanna see them leave, but we're already over the cap. Someone's at least getting a big pay cut. At the very most, we sign someone like Garay who we can get for cheap.

The way it looks to me is there is a couple of free agents out there that actually want to come in and be part of Super Bowl Contender Team. Mario might like a 1st super bowl trophy.

Winners like winning and I fully believe there's a lot of folks believe The Panthers gonna be winning a lot. Money is great but when you got plenty, Fun trumps it every time and winning is FUN!!!!! So I won't be surprised if some folks want to join us in having Fun.

I just want to sit back and watch!!!!

      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.

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

      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.
