![]() If one or both of those guys is still limited late in camp, Fitterer will have some dealing to do. This assumes Jaycee Horn and Donte Jackson are healthy and remain so, which has been far from a sure thing. Why? Because there are a couple of good ones still available in Yannick Ngakoue and Jadeveon Clowney, they have the potential to make a bigger impact and it’s a bigger need for the Panthers than corner. If I’m Scott Fitterer, who was a history major incidentally, I’m spending some of my ample cap space on an edge rusher. Yeah, even as an old English major, I’m glad I’m not diagramming that sentence (although I did clean up some of Clay’s punctuation). If it was your call, and you could fill one but not the other, what would it be and why? (That may be the worst sentence structure you will ever see.) - Clay W. Panthers roster analysis: One thought on every player on defense, special teamsĮdge and corner are well-documented needs for this defense. Out of 674 responses, 41.4 percent went with new guy Adam Thielen, followed by Terrace Marshall (30.1 percent), Chark (17.1), Jonathan Mingo and Hayden Hurst (both with 5.5 percent). Great question, and not just because I asked the same one to readers as part of our annual Panthers’ fan survey earlier this month. ![]() If you had to say today, who’s your pick to be the leading receiver at the end of the year? - Matthew P. That said, with his length and ability to stretch the field, Chark should fill a prominent role in the Panthers’ receiving rotation. He’s also been much more durable than Chark, who’s played an average of five fewer games a season than Moore since both entered the league in 2018. While Chark is two inches taller and a couple ticks faster than Moore, Denniston II is a more complete receiver. The short answer is no, I don’t think Chark can match Moore’s overall production. Chark is Darrell Chark Jr., thus the DJ.īut that’s not what Alex was inquiring about. DJ Moore is actually Denniston Moore II, so “not quite the junior part but I just go by it,” as he told the Bears’ website in March following the blockbuster deal with Carolina. But before talking ball, let’s play the name game. Not all DJ’s are created alike, even (or especially) when discussing Panthers’ wide receivers past and present. But deadlines often spur action, so it’s reasonable to think things shake out by the end of the week.ĭo you think DJ Chark is capable of filling DJ Moore’s shoes in this offense? - Alex A. 4) also remain unsigned and are likely waiting to see the particulars on Young’s deal. ![]() Marcus isn’t the only person interested in Young’s situation, by the way. But the Panthers’ rookies are scheduled to be in Charlotte beginning Saturday for three days before the full team reports to Wofford on July 25. ![]() Young still has a week before the Panthers’ first practice July 26 at Wofford. Lawrence signed his contract July 5 that year. When Trevor Lawrence signed his $36.8 million rookie deal after being taken first overall by Jacksonville in 2021, the contract called for the former Clemson quarterback to receive his $24.1 million signing bonus within 15 days of passing his physical for signing bonus purposes. has one thought on all 43 players on offense. With a Panthers roster breakdown, of course. How can Carolina fans best to survive these lazy, hazy days of July? Young’s four-year contract is projected to be worth $37.955 million with a $24.6 million signing bonus, according to Spotrac. The holdup is likely related to the timing of the payout of Young’s signing bonus, which - with the slotted salaries for draft picks - is one of the few negotiating items remaining for rookies and their agents. CBA rules allow rookies to participate in OTAs and minicamps without a contract, but they can’t practice at training camp until the contract is finalized. The hope is that Young’s contract situation will be settled before the start of training camp. ![]() Marcus was the first one in after we opened the mailbag Monday, and he asks a timely and pertinent question about the No. Is there any indication when Bryce Young will sign his contract? - Marcus M. Frank Reich and his staff have a lot to figure out over the 11 practices in Spartanburg and might be trying to answer some of the same questions The Athletic readers had for this mailbag. ![]()
