El Chingon 644 Report post Posted January 23, 2014 Lafell needs to go. He is not consistent enough and drops so many passes. Ginn does too but his speed is ridiculous. The fact that the 49er defense was more worried about Ginn than LaFell should tell you all you need to know about these two players. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AceMan 661 Report post Posted January 23, 2014 As far as WRs.. Re-sign Ginn and let Lafell go, even consider re-signing Hixon for cheap. Take a chance on a WR like Danario Alexander Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carolina-chuck 2,761 Report post Posted January 26, 2014 We take a 5 million dollar cap hit if we cut Stewart it can't be done. I know. It's not going to happen. Dwill will most likely get the axe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AndrewLaskoski 225 Report post Posted January 29, 2014 Here are some reasonable free agents from outside the Panthers which we probably get, separated by position Receivers Denario Alexander(SD)- Has injury issues, missed the entire season but a big bodied receiver who can go up and get the balls Cam sails. Damian Williams(TN)- Stuck in a log jam at receiver in TN, good speed and quickness, 6"1 with 38in vertical. Josh Morgan(WAS)- Big soft hands, who is 220lbs so can dish out some punishment Fred Davis(WAS)- Injury prone TE who has all the talent in the world. Could be a good number 2. Offensive Tackles Jonathon Martin(MIA)- Talented Stanford grad who got beat up on in Miami, most likely will get released. Gross will need to approve. J'Marcus Webb(MIN)- Cant possibly be worse than Bell Jared Veldheer(OAK)- He has shined in Oakland and anyone who does that deserves a shot on a real team. Defensive End Jared Allen(MIN)- Aging player chasing rings, which wont happen in Minnesota Anthony Spencer(DAL)- Dallas cant afford to keep anyone, its open season on their free agents Secondary Corey Graham(BAL)- good corner in the slot if we lose Captain Eric Wright(SF)- Talented corner who has had an off couple of years Nolan Carroll(MIA)- Hopefully he wants out of Miami, because he is darn good Brandon Browner(SEA)- Why not? Bernard Pollard(TEN)- How much fun would it be to see him lay out Jimmy Graham at the bank? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davos 4,215 Report post Posted January 31, 2014 On the Panthers: Gross article: http://espn.go.com/blog/carolina-panthers/post/_/id/4491/gross-says-rivera-wants-me-back-for-sure I think we keep Gross and Mitchell. Those two are the important FAs for us imo. Gross had one of his best seasons period in 2013. Outside the team: Sam Shields and Danario Alexander are both very appealing. Alexander: A productive 27 yo 6'5 receiver coming off an injury so we can probably get him for a decent price. The next Charger convert? Shields: I don't know about the scheme fit for Sam but he's a great cornerback yet expendable with the Pack having Hayward, House, and Co. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CelticCat 324 Report post Posted January 31, 2014 Alexander is close to attaining injury prone status. Id stay far away from him. Martin and Webb are trash, if were going to upgrade on Bell we need to get someone that is a legitimate upgrade. Wright is a pretty horrid CR too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheNewStandard 854 Report post Posted February 4, 2014 The Panthers must re-sign Hardy. He is irreplaceable and a cornerstone player. I don't know how it gets done but it simply must get done. There isn't a WR in FA that will be an upgrade over Hixon at his value cost, except maybe Robert Meachem. And it doesn't matter who comes in if they can't catch Cam's bullets or proven they can catch bullets at a proficient rate. There is no guarantee that Ginn will re-sign and if he doesn't, WR becomes a need position that will have to come in the draft, which may or may not throw drafting BPA out the window. This team may still be two full seasons away from being Great but that's ok with me so long as the core of Cam, Kalil, Smith, Luke, Kraken and Star are retained and can stay healthy...that is the type of team-identity that builds dynasty's...and this franchise is on the verge of becoming legendary. It's a head-scratcher for sure. CJ and Stewart have to restructure or it will cripple what could be "TheNewStandard" by which all other NFL teams are measured... Regardless, I am thrilled with the players on the roster and the direction of the franchise and "Buzz-City." Ecstatic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Madwolf 26 Report post Posted February 4, 2014 2014 NFL Projected Cap Space http://www.spotrac.com/premium/research/nfl/projected-2014-nfl-team-cap-space-420/ We're not actually doing too bad.

WildCats 88 Report post Posted February 4, 2014 First time back on the huddle since dooms day and weeks being deflated. Now back to the topic lafell has to go. And I wish we could unload Stewart but unfortunately we can't. And can we drop Byron bell off at the nearest air port. Sorry just venting been watching our whole season over and over again these past weeks on film Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davos 4,215 Report post Posted February 4, 2014 I kinda wanted to make a thread about this but figured it wouldn't be well received: I think if we come to an agreement with Hardy, Mitchell becomes the replaceable/odd man out. If we can get Hardy for around 10 million, cut Godfrey June 1st, and stick with the RBs so that we don't have any unnecessary cap hits, we'll be looking at around $11 million for the remaining FAs/picks. Now I think Gross, Ginn, Senn, Hartsock, Gano, & Wharton can be manageable under this but if Mitchell wants a big contract, he's definitely replaceable. Just my 2 cents, if getting Hardy back would mean not having Mitchell, I'm fine with it. But I'm not a cap guy so don't know how legit this scenario would be for us.
