Panthers hired their head coach and some of his long term staff assistants.

Rumor is the Panthers and Bills are discussing a RB Christian McCaffrey trade. PFF ranked McCaffrey currently as the 5th best RB this year.

Panthers also have WR DJ Moore, whom they rank as the 46th best, but I assume his ranking might be a bit better if he didn't have horrible QBs throwing to him, anyways he just signed a new deal and his $20 million for 2023 is guaranteed, which is a big commitment if you don't have a lot of availability cap space next offseason.

RG Austin Corbett is grading out as the 5th best OG by PFF and he also just signed a new deal, but this year he's cheap and his 2023 salary is guaranteed by it's only $9 million. He was drafted by the Browns, playing 1.5 years with them, before being traded to the Rams where he played 2.5 years and just won a Superbowl. So he lnowns the wide zone system well.

They have DT Derrick Brown and CB Jaycee Horn on rookie contracts, which I'm just going to assume they won't trade.


They also just signed S Xavier Woods, whom is ranked 22nd in the NFL largely due to his run stopping defense, while he's struggles more in coverage. Still, we're thin there. Nothing guaranteed in the future, and he's got two more years at about $4.5 million, might be solid #3 especially with Amos and Savage contracts coming up.

DT Matthew Ioannidis, whom has been part of some really good DLs (mostly with the Commanders) signed a one year deal, but most of it was signing bonus and therefore he's cheap as the Panthers will be paying the cost. Ioannidis is ranked 28th by PFF and outside of Kenny Clark is graded better than Packers DT... with Reed being ranked 40h and Lowry 80h. If fact Lowry for Ioannidis would probably save us cap space and give us the better player, of course the other team wouldn't nessarily want to do that.

I probably wouldn't offer a high enough draft pick for the Panthers, but I would honestly consider trading for RG Corbett, DT Ioannidis and SS Woods...

Since I kind of think their owner is trying to tank... and save money and rebuild.

The RG potentially could solidify our OL... DT might be our #2 DT behind only Clark and improve the DL depth at the very least. S for veterans depth and maybe freeing up Savage to play nickel should we want or need that.

They hardest part would be freeing up roster spots...

I think that just about everyone in the league would love to pick up Austin Corbett. The problem with that is I have to believe that if they are going to have a fire sale in order to get a high pick, that means quarterback, and that means they would want the means to protect that quarterback.
We have further obstacles as regards the cap. We are ok this year, but I think most cap gurus are in consensus that we are in real trouble next year. Good find though, and as far as freeing up a roster spot, as far as I'm concerned, they can start by releasing Amari Rodgers, patience be damned.

I don't think Packers have enough salary cap space for anyone. We need X million to be able to move players from active roster and back and what not. So even if we have $6 million, that thought has to be considered.

Also, if it's WR ... why we fooling ourselves? Rodgers apparently needs to trust WR before throwing them the ball. And it seems he needs to see trust built through plethora weeks/months of practice.

True, but if they trade away RB Christian McCaffrey, then I think (and I could be wrong) but I think the Panthers owner could be in tank mode to make sure he gets the #1 pick... so they get their #1 choice of QB.

    beast (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
    beast (24-Dec) : Sounds like no serious injuries from the Saints game and Jacobs and Watson should play in the Vikings game
    packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : both games Watson missed, Packers won
    Martha Careful (24-Dec) : I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!
    Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol
    buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier
    buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol
    Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Jacobs gonna be OK???
    Zero2Cool (24-Dec) : Watson gonna be OK???
    packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath
    packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.
    packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I just checked. What tie breaker?
    bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ahh, ok.
    bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes due to tie breaker
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?
    bboystyle (23-Dec) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference
    Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network
    beast (23-Dec) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th
    beast (23-Dec) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.
    bboystyle (23-Dec) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed
    Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno
    beast (23-Dec) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?
    packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I see what you did there Mucky
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : dammit. 3:25pm
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm
    Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground
    Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Yeah baby!
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.
    beast (23-Dec) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.
    packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : ok I stand corrected
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?
    beast (23-Dec) : Saying no to the 6th lock.
    beast (23-Dec) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.
    beast (23-Dec) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games
    beast (23-Dec) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality
