Add a receiver in the first round--trade into the end of the first and draft the best WR available
Draft Oline with our first first rounder
Sign a better free agent TE to be the #2 behind Olsen
Sign Steve Breaston and give him a shot to be the #3
Sign a back up QB that fits cam's mold better than Anderson did

[panthers55]

Just out of curiosity who are some wr free agents you think we may target?

We won't know who is available until free agency starts and everyone makes their cuts or signs and franchises whoever they can. So any speculation right now is not going to be very accurate and will be subject to change.

But if I were looking for a guy it might be one of the following: Dwayne Bowe might be willing to accept less to play for a contender versus floundering around with KC. Hartline might be convinced that Miami is not the one. Breaston is an interesting guy who was just released by KC as well. Other guys like Amendola, Welker, Wallace or Jennings are going to draw significant interest and bucks elsewhere.

There are a number of lesser name guys like Devery Henderson, Dominick Hixon, Ramses Barden who might be worth looking out if they are there. Hixon and Barden are both Giants with previous ties to Gettleman.

Restructure Gross.

Cut Gamble, Edwards, Anderson, Williams (June 1).

Beason either a restruture or cut.

Look at Olsen for possible restruture and Smitty. Smitty might be willing to negotiate a little. Take more guaranteed cash now and possibly retire before the backend of his restruture comes up. Olsen is one of those guys like Godfrey....2014 they are slated for too much as is so something is going to have to be done anyway.

Draft BPA in 1st excluding QB, RB and ILB.

legalize tazing whatever chucklefug starts the wave

I want a fuging kicker. Mike Wallace or Kennan Allen.

You mean, you want a fuging WR?

[lineal89]

I dont get why everyone wants to cut Anderson...

[rayzor]

cut gamble, james anderson, armanti, clausen.

re-sign DA, dwan, capt. all to short term cheap deals.

overhaul contracts for beason, gross, deangelo, ron edwards to much cheaper deals.

pick up in FA chris canty, jered cook, and find a couple solid/affordable options for RG and RT to sign for 1-2 year deals.

even tho i don't like limiting draft picks to just a couple positions, try to pick up best FS and WR possible in the draft.

People say cut Gamble and D-Lo because it's the popular thing to say, but if we can get under the cap with them restructuring, then I say keep the both of them.

If we restructure everyone instead of making much needed cuts, we are just going to prolong the cap hell into 2014-2015.

Restructuring does not solve the problem....it only kicks it down the road.

agreed, but when i think restructuring with those two guys and beason....it's gonna have to take a thomas davis type restructure where you basically rip up the old contract and sign a new one that won't hurt the cap.

There's different type of restructuring, in which one way includes a pay cut. i.e. Michael Vick.

Exactly

my thinking is that it's a choice between a restructured beason or a restructured anderson, because there's no way we go into the future with either one of those guys at their existing deals. we can't afford to keep both, either.

beason > anderson. we find a way to keep beason here and let anderson go. also cutting anderson will cost less than cutting beason.

I'd be shocked if Bowe comes at a reasonable price. Breaston sucks badly and I'd rather keep Murphy over him.

Hixon looks the most appealing on that list to me but signing him alone or a similar talent does not bring enough improvement short and long term wise to this team imo.

[pantherclaw]

In my eyes, we don't need as much and most think we do.
LT - need to get one in the draft.
FA guard
FA safety
A deep threat receiver can come from either. Prefer a FA and a draft pick.

This really sets up the Panthers to go BPA every round.
