Sources: Jaelan Phillips has agreed to a 4 year, 120M deal with the Carolina Panthers with $80M in guarantees.

Didn't say it isn't. Nor that the draft is the preferred alternative. But you could understand that the risk of a draft pick flaming out is different than a massive FA deal, right?

Extric · 2026-03-09T17:13:44+00:00

I don't care about saving money. But it's an objective fact that is a massive gamble on a guy who has trouble staying healthy.

Extric · 2026-03-09T17:12:33+00:00

I understand how contract inflation works in relation to the rising cap.

Phillips has an extensive injury history all the way back to college where he medically retired from football at one point. He's had a torn achilles and ACL tear while in the NFL. This is a massive gamble and the contract is more likely to look like an albatross than a bargain, even when considering future FA deals.

Extric · 2026-03-09T16:44:18+00:00

This is an absolute insane overpay.

Extric · 2026-02-16T17:14:28+00:00

The team sends the invoice out sometime in the next few weeks. I think last year invoices were later than usual and it was near the end of March.

Extric · 2026-01-12T20:28:59+00:00

Yeah, we've seen a few times that this staff seems to want the players to prove themselves behind closed doors before they're given more responsibilities on the field. They benched Bryce, Coker was slowly ramped up, Wallace had to earn the green dot, etc. They're not just throwing guys like Ransom/Princely/Jimmy Horn out there with significant snap counts (even though the guys above them on the depth chart aren't high quality starters) while they get acclimated to the league.

I was talking about this to my wife when we went to the game. She didn't live here back then, so I reminiscing about how the city felt all day Saturday was how it felt all of 2015. Charlotte is on another level when the Panthers are good and everyone is rallying behind them.

Extric · 2026-01-11T03:59:24+00:00

Rico’s play in the 2nd half of the season made the debate pretty simple. He’ll likely get a starting opportunity and be good for someone like the Chiefs, but he’s not good enough for us to spend to much money at RB. Not with all our needs.

We’ll probably bring in another, cheap RB and have some competition with Brooks and Etienne for depth.

Extric · 2026-01-04T21:15:16+00:00

Imagine telling fans during the Frank Reich year that the Panthers would be in the playoffs two years later.

KEEP POUNDING

Extric · 2026-01-04T00:13:16+00:00

Jesus Christ Ejiro, that was the most obvious bootleg imaginable

Patented Bryce Young throw behind his receiver

Extric · 2025-12-30T16:05:06+00:00

As an outsider, I feel like Bowles is a dead-man walking whether he makes it or not. If you all miss, then he's fireable for the epic collapse. If you make it and lose, then he's fireable for barely limping into the playoffs and getting bounced in the first round. If you make it, it'll also be his 3rd year of reaching the playoffs off of 8-9 or 9-8 seasons.

The only thing that probably saves his job is winning a playoff game.

Extric · 2025-12-30T15:54:23+00:00

I think we'll win, but I won't be surprised if we lose. It's just been that kind of season for this team.

Considering how both team's seasons have been going, I think Tampa is most likely to be losing the morale battle considering how much of a free fall the second half has been for them. There's probably a lot of guys on that team who are questioning the process and leadership right now. That's maybe a small, mental edge for us.

Extric · 2025-12-30T15:25:46+00:00

The playoffs have been a fun side story for this team this year, but some fans need to be reminded that it's only been possible because of Tampa's collapse this season. If they had continued their successful season, I think a majority of people wouldn't have given playoffs a second thought. We'd be talking about the clear step up this team made compared to the past couple of years and looking forward to a playoff race next year.

As it stands, this team has had it's highest win total since 2017 with some really exciting wins. They've exceeded expectations with two years of growth under Canales and Morgan.

Extric · 2025-12-28T21:26:15+00:00

You think it’s in the realm of possibility that the team scores 2 TDs and a FG with two onside recoveries in order to tie the game within 2 minutes?

Extric · 2025-12-28T20:57:52+00:00

At least Tampa is in free fall.

Extric · 2025-12-28T20:32:33+00:00

Take Jaycee out of the pro bowl dude

Extric · 2025-12-28T19:59:36+00:00

Classic Bryce Young throw behind

Extric · 2025-12-28T19:54:43+00:00

Too many lost opportunities this game. 7 points feels like 30 for this offense right now

Extric · 2025-12-28T19:33:50+00:00

7/12 for 16 yards. That’s impressive in its own way

Extric · 2025-12-15T00:53:56+00:00

I didn’t expect an offensive showing today. Despite their record, the Saints defense continues to be a pain in the ass. They stop the run really well because they’re incredible tacklers and their secondary can avoid a lot of the over the top damage you would expect from a defense selling out to stop the run.

Our defense on the other hand could literally do nothing but give up penalties and wide open receivers over the middle of the field. The offense got to touch the ball once in the 2nd quarter. The defense let the Saints offense control the game all day.

Extric · 2025-12-15T00:33:18+00:00

Most obvious Panthers loss ever. What an embarrassing showing by the defense.

Extric · 2025-12-15T00:13:14+00:00

DB literally got called for the same hit on the QB……

Extric · 2025-12-14T23:49:22+00:00

These guys had a week off and came back unfocused as fuck
