1. The @Panthers currently have the most expensive OL in football.
2. Need to get younger AND cheaper.
3. Ickey ruptured his patellar tendon and won’t be available to start the year. Could potentially move on and use his extension $ on other things.
4. Taylor Moton is getting older.
5. They played a dozen OL combos last year due to injury
6. Where else are you more likely to find elite pass-protecting OT than the 1st round?
7. Bryce Young still isn’t a large human and needs big guys capable of throwing dudes out the club.
Dan Morgan is quickly ascending as one of the better GMs in the NFL. Continuously identifies & addresses the weaknesses on the Panthers roster. He has made them so much more talented in 3 years without sacrificing a theme of youth. Convincing Devin Lloyd & Rasheed Walker to come to Carolina for cheaper than expected was a big feat. He has suddenly eliminated that “Panthers tax”
Brandt Tilis is also proving to be a masterful cap manager. Can’t believe how much money Carolina was able to spend this week, and David Tepper deserves credit for making that possible too. Not many franchises ran better right now, and Panthers fans should be ecstatic
