Seems to be the trend of the day.

NFL Free Agency Capsule: WR Parris Campbell Campbell proved his durability while showcasing his playmaking skills during the 2022 season. 2022 by the numbers: 17 games (16 starts) 980 snaps 91 targets 63 receptions 623 yards 3 TDs 5 rushes 58 yards Career stats: 32 games (24 starts) 1,416 snaps 144 targets 97 receptions 983 yards 5 TDs 11 rushes 108 yards What you need to know Campbell set out to prove in 2022 that he could be durable and reliable after three years of awful injury luck limited him to just 15 games from 2019-2021. Not only did Campbell play in all 17 games, he played the second-most snaps among Colts skill position players – behind only Michael Pittman Jr. – in 2022. And Campbell was productive when he was on the field despite having the seventh-lowest average air yards per target (6.4) among wide receivers last season. He flashed his explosive acceleration and top-end speed on a handful of occasions, like his 28-yard jet sweep sprint against the Washington Commanders in Week 8 and his catch-and-run touchdown against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 10. Pro Football Focus ranked Campbell as the No. 7 free agent wide receiver in 2023, and at 25 years old, he'll be among the youngest free agents available this spring.

TE Hayden Hurst was a very good signing if the Panthers got him at a decent price and didn't over pay. He's likely targeted by the Panthers as a pass catching TE who can provide a reliable safety valve for their rookie quarterback.

There is no way I would even think about, must less condider, paying TE Hayden Hurst that type ($9 million) money.

If Jamaal Williams commands 5 million or less a season on no more than a 2 year contract, I could see the Panthers interest. But if he gets more elsewhere, then good for him. We don't want to overpay. The FA RB pool is large and the draft is deep at RB. There will be a large supply of RBs out there.

The Panthers will be Andy Dalton's fifth team in as many years. He started at some point for the previous four, playing 14 games for the New Orleans Saints last season. Dalton posted a 95.2 quarterback rating and 7.6 yards per attempt, his highest marks since 2015, with 18 touchdowns and nine interceptions when replacing Jameis Winston in Week 4.

I admit it was a pleasant surprise when I saw the Panthers had obtained Andy Dalton and at such a team friendly price.

That was a cool video.

I would like to see Drury get some action to see what he has got.

I was somewhat surprised when I read that the players, themselves were not really interested in playing in the NIT.

I am glad we didn't sign him last year, we might have won the NFC South, been in the playoffs and could not have afforded to move up to # 1 in this years draft.

I don't think that would happen because i feel that Stroud/Young will be more advanced in their game and ready to start than Fields was.

We can always require him to wear a dark hair piece. LOL

In the event the startinq QB is out for a spell, Andy Dalton is good enough to carry the team,within reason, until the starter returns.

(" $10M for two years.") I am surprised the Panthers got such a god quality, back up QB at that reasonable of a price.

I think the signing of Andy Dalton was a good deal because he is a capable starting quality player who can plug in if the first rd. pick isn't ready to start early in the season.

This could be the year Sam Darnold puts it all together if he ever gets a chance to start for the 49ers.

I fully agree with Chris Simms.

I would be ok with keeping Cam Erving on a cheap deal as a backup. However, if the Panthers can find someone better at near his cost, I could see them letting him go.

Sadly, Like you I am pulling to Hubert Davis to work out but admit I am highly concerned about him lasting. Here's hoping my concerns are caused by being an over anxious fan and will turn out unfounded..

Fitter is doing some serious negotiation. Now he he needs to find a WR that can be close to a D.J. Moore replacement because there may not be one that highly rated when the Panthers draft in the 2nd rd.

It is great news hearing that Panthers center Bradley Bozeman, a key player is signed, keeping the entire offensive line intact.

Sam Darnold was a good pickup by the 49ers. He has veteran experience and starter experience, but they aren't worried about that, with Purdy and Lance, all they are looking for is someone decent.

I haven't checked on the available centers. Do you know if there is one available in free agency that is good as Bozeman?
