If there was a surefire-elite QB in this draft, I’d say it was reasonable. But for this class? It’s too much. And that’s after taking into account that the Panthers overpaid Moore, so dumping him helps to bring the deal back closer to par.

They’re paying him as a top-10 WR; he was barely in the top 30 last year. Yeah, his QB situation sucked, but that’s part of the reason you don’t pay a guy top-10 money when you have bigger holes on your roster.

He was 11, 11 and 9 in yardage the three years prior, and as the cap climbs, already-signed deals get comparatively cheaper. The trade is a fiasco but acting like “getting rid of Moore” is a point in the Panthers’ favor is truly wild.

Tepper is an idiot. He has made so many bad decisions since buying the team. It’s absolutely miserable.

Weird because i thought none of the QBs in this years draft were considered sure fire future stars.

No doubt how can anyone watch Moore last season and not think he is elite? He’s definitely one of the best WRs in the league atm. Fields isn’t the best case scenario for him, but if the play making is there, Moore can get open.

It’s a shame really because Moore really lit it up end of the season. There was so much focus around CmC that I think it bottlenecked the team. I wouldn’t have ever traded him away, but considering the season they had I thought they did an incredible job.

Then today happened, now the Bears are set for the foreseeable future.

That’s the crazy part of this deal… there are at least three solid QBs… and a good chance of one of them still being available at pick 5-7. So they didn’t need to give up this much to get a QB.

It's more like they're paying him like a top-20 WR because the guys just below him are getting paid pretty similar dollars to what he is (if you want to argue DJ getting $20m is meaningfully different than Kirk getting $18m, have at it).

And most people consider it a slight bargain contract because its front-loaded and his base amount drops every year from now on. And because WR is highly valued these days - you can see that in the draft and in the contracts guys are getting.

I don’t know THAT much about sports, but this was a terrible trade.

Panthers have had 7 different starting QBs over the past 4 seasons why not go for another one. I hope the Panthers bankrupt Tepper just like he has bankrupted them.

As a panthers fan, this hurts but makes sense. Cap room was slim. Brian Burns needs a contract ASAP. We need a QB. Plenty of WRs in free agency plus this deep draft.

This was the unfortunate right move to reset the foundation and to start building properly.

With that being said, if they do nothing the rest of free agency….this will be a bad deal.

They're gonna give up all this, draft Anthony Richardson, and be totally shocked when he isn't Cam Newton.

Let’s hope the panthers are working some Draft Day shit where they leverage that #1 over all pick into a trade for an existing proven QB and additional assets
