On this episode of Panthers Pride, host Myron McRae addresses the fan debate over the Carolina Panthers not trading for T.J. Watt after his record-setting $130 million extension with the Steelers. Myron explains why the Panthers “dodged a financial nuke” by avoiding a deal that would have cost multiple draft picks, a core player, and a massive salary commitment—arguing the move could have crippled Carolina’s future cap flexibility. While Watt’s talent is acknowledged, Myron clarifies that the roster’s long-term health had to take priority. The episode also examines the defense’s determination to move past last year’s struggles, highlighting candid quotes from JC Horn and DJ Wonnum about embracing last season’s pain as fuel for 2025. With a renewed, no-excuses mindset, the Panthers are ready to prove doubters wrong and redefine their defensive standard this fall.
