@X8X842@rickyboboddy Many in the media (like Daniel Jeremiah and Steve Smith) much preferred guys like Matthew Golden over T-Mac. Morgan also got an offer for the pick. Not to mention so many wanted defense. It wasn't as much of a slam dunk as we might think.
The NFL has released its national television schedule for the 2026 preseason:
Hall of Fame Game (NBC):
• Panthers vs. Cardinals — Aug. 6
Week 2:
• Raiders at Texans (ESPN) — Aug. 20
• Seahawks at Titans (FOX) — Aug. 23
Week 3:
• Patriots at Browns (Prime Video) — Aug. 27
• Bengals at Eagles (CBS) — Aug. 28
@CoryTay36070123 Saw that too. Or maybe after the Browns took Fano. In any case, interesting to see who was mentioned (and not mentioned) as their targets
Fascinating to see who the #Panthers were considering at 19
According to The Blueprint, Monroe Freeling was clearly a favorite along with Kadyn Proctor and Reuben Bain, Jr.
Fan fave Dillion Thieneman wasn't mentioned in their many prospect convos
@TheTeppers@rickyboboddy In their defense, they strategically cut him when they knew no one could pick him up and they could sneak him onto their practice squad
But you're not wrong
A redemptive rep by #Panthers QB Bryce Young right there to end his series in 11s: Gets defense to jump offsides and then finds Xavier Legette on an intermediate crosser.
Reunion: The #Giants are bringing back WR Odell Beckham Jr, as their former standout returns, per me and @MikeGarafolo.
Beckham, 33, recently worked out again for the team that drafted him, paid him, then traded him. Now, he’s back with NYG and John Harbaugh.
#Broncos 4x All-Pro S Justin Simmons, who recently retired, tells me that if he played last season, it likely would’ve been with the #Panthers, who were in constant contact with him about signing and reuniting with DC Ejiro Evero.
