And the door is still open to look at quarterback options in the draft.” Newton provides veteran competition for us at a low risk. If Deshaun Watson’s legal situation becomes clearer, Carolina could still be in the mix there, and this deal doesn’t change anything. Ideally, we would have traded for Russell Wilson or maybe even Jimmy Garoppolo, but the team doesn’t have the draft capital to do it - in part because of the Darnold trade. “So Carolina is stuck with that $18.9M cap hit in 2022. “Keeping Darnold wasn’t really a decision, since the Panthers picked up his fifth-year option after trading for him last year,” David Newton writes. So, as they did this past season, the Panthers wound up calling for Superman in yet another pinch. And, again, their offer (a 2022 fourth-rounder and a 2023 second-rounder) was slapped away with the 49ers agreeing to ship off Jimmy G to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers instead. Their second and much less sexier attempt (at least from a pure football perspective) was for San Francisco’s Jimmy Garoppolo. The first of those tries was for Seattle’s Russell Wilson-in which Carolina was denied for their proposal of Sam Darnold, Christian McCaffrey and three draft picks (2022 fifth-rounder, 2023 first-rounder, 2023 third-rounder) for Mr. In a collaborative simulation from ESPN’s NFL Nation, the Panthers set out into the offseason taking a pair of swings at two NFC West passers.

The Carolina Panthers won’t have the easiest of answers readily available this offseason for their ongoing quarterback woes.
