2014 Panther UDFA

I would LOVE if Devine could somehow workout here. I've been following his career since he was around 16 and his highlight reel hit the internet.  Deion Sanders tried to adopt the kid and mentor him,but that didn't workout.  The guy is small, but he could be the answer at KR/PR to replace Ginn.

Can't edit my post, but for those who didn't follow the link, Devine went to WVU's proday this year and ran a 4.25.

I feel like we are writing off Mcnutt and King a little too quickly. They have a couples years experience and are both former draft picks. It's not really fair to pencil in a UFA to take their jobs.

As a 6th WR you have to be able to do something on special teams. Brown and Pilares do that, which gives him a leg up on McNutt and King. Brown also had pretty good receiving numbers his final 2 years in college. Him being young and a receiving threat as well as a returner, it's almost his spot to lose.

I haven't analyzed the roster and who can return kicks. But some players will go down. You could see someone with a pulled hammy start the season on the pup list or a guy make opening day, get cut, and come back after injuries. Barner could be the return man. And then you have guys like Trindon Holliday that play well and get cut and good teams pick them up right before the season starts.

 

In any case, McNutt and King have the athletic ability to make it. If they have a good camp they should be on the team.

    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
    • Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
