We seem to be stockpiling RB's like they are gold bullion or something. Who is in desperate need of a back?

Cleveland Hillis gone

Cincy Benson gone

Denver McGahee is troubled

Pitts Mendenhall is finished

T Bay No matter how desperate, we will not trade with them

Add Pats to the list of teams that also need a "good" back

Those are just 5 and Richardson will land at one of those spots.

I think Denver is key.

They do not have time for rebuilding. They have a 3-4 year window, so I think their second rounder would be used in a trade for a proven back. Again, they have to hit homeruns with each pick. PFT is already talking about them getting Wallace with their first pick. Every guy they get has to be able to do the job, they have a predetermined window.

i don't think any trade is going to be made any time soon nor should it be.

if we want to trade one of them away, it should be in mid season next year when a team is really desperate and more willing to be raped...you know, when demand is at it's peak. right now, though, more effort should be put into how to turn the backfield we have right now into a nightmare for DCs.

No money for Wharton, no money for Schwartz. Otah = ??

Guess we will have a lot of faith in the OLine for this shiny new stable of backs.

I don't think we wanted to sign Schwartz back and Wharton wasn't worth what we were paying him. I would feel better if we added a couple more guys though. Maybe trade down and get Decastro if things break a certain way.

i think we wanted both guys back, but at a much cheaper rate.

we'll find the right guys. i hope that we can use the same strategy that we used a few years ago bringing in a bunch of low risk guys and let them fight it out in TC.

of course we should take advantage of the depth and talent at OG in the draft, but hopefully we can get a 3rd round pick or use the 4th rounder on a guy that slipped through the cracks. it's going to happen.

agreed. there will be a deal worked out between DW and JS so both stay here. A deal that works out for all and will probably blow everybody's minds. Rivera is making the offense even stronger for reason and it's not to win by only 10 points.

      Would you trade Ickey

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.

      We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By SCO96 · Posted

      I didn't say I would have done it. I was just saying that I can see why some in the FO considered it. Everything was done to give Bryce weapons. Solidify the interior line thru FA. Get XL at WR in round 1 and then get the most talented RB in round 2. Take a TE in round 4, etc They were probably "assuming" he'd make a complete recovery during the 2024 season. I'm a skeptical person. I wouldn't have assumed he'd be ok in 2024. I personally would have taken another position in the 2nd for that very reason. But, if I were "influenced" to take him I would've argued to keep him off the field, especially seeing how things were going for us record wise. Conventional Wisdom says most backs don't get back to normal until two years after the ACL surgery. He was injured in Fall 2023. Having him suit up in 2025 would have been almost 2 years since the original injury. You have him for 3 year on low contract. If he balls out, you resign him for a couple of more years b/c he'd only have 3 years of tread on the tires. If he's ok but not great you let him walk.
