Who's the guy that you're glad you don't have?

So, whilst wasting offseason time I noticed today that Rex Grossman and Brady Quinn were signed by NFL teams today.  Of all the thoughts in the world I said to myself "gee, I am so glad that the Bills didn't have to be doing something like this."

 

About 10 seconds later I realized that we are pretty much a lousy team, with potential of course, but it made me wonder why because EJ Manuel isn't bonafide yet, we haven't won a championship since the 60's and we might not even finish .500.

 

The Panthers are a winning team and with the 2014 offseason wrapping up soon is there a player in this league that you can have that same thought about?  Now, I know the Panthers have their issues with depth at WR and OL, and have some issues with DB's - every team really does - but when you see Grossman and Quinn signed to two teams who seem to have had decent opportunity with their QB's in 2013 you have to realize maybe the Panthers are not too bad off!

 

So, who's the guy you're glad your team didn't have to go out and find in the scrap yard, or maybe even go out there and have to sign to a big contract to a guy like Jairus Byrd, Vontae Davis, Aqib Talib or Darrel Revis?

Hakeem Nicks! Mostly every Panther fan I know was screaming for Gettleman to grab him. I did not like the idea. I have always disliked Nicks because he is lazy and does not work hard. There is a reason there are reports saying Nicks is out of shape and not working hard.

Lafail. Soon Bell, Stewart and Harper

I don't see that happening unless it was via trade.  Even then, I do not know if it would be a benefit or not.

 

A CB or RT for Stewart?  The going market for him might be a 4th at best, so a player for player trade would be more of a depth, scheme or rotational player then it would be contributing starter.

 

Perhaps, Stewart and a draft choice for a player would be worthwhile.

I am super exited that Julius Peppers went to Green Bay.  Muhsin Muhammad did the same crap.  Run to Chicago because you’re overpaid in Carolina.  Thing about Moose is he is still in the community doing stuff that counts.  Dude chased money and came back to chase stats but he stayed in Charlotte and is giving back.  Before I rip Peppers here is a link to Mooses’ work in this community.

Peppers doesn’t give a crap about Charlotte and it shows.  Google this “julius peppers charity.”  This is the only thing I could find.  He donated money to the Tarheels after they got busted for “academic fraud.”

I wish Carolina had never drafted (and paid) such a thoughtless former member of our community.  The kids are gonna love the team no matter what!  Guys like Cam and Luke are handling business off the field and in the end that is all that really matters.  Good riddance Julius Peppers….DO NOT RETIRE HIS JERSEY!!!!!!!!!!

      Joe Person: Panthers will let Cade Mays test the free agent market

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      If Mays has a market, which it seems he will, he's gone.  I think we bring back Nijman for too much money to be cautious at LT, Corbett comes back cheap since he's already said he wants to live in CLT, and Christensen eventually gets re-signed with the hopes he can be depth at some point.  Draft an OT, draft a C. The OL might be rough for stretches next year, but time to get some youth there to prepare for Bryce in 2027 or the next QB. I still think we compete for the division in 2026 and can go back to the playoffs unlike the oddsmakers in Vegas, but the *real* year is 2027 IMO. Either Bryce has proven it and he's the QB looking at his 2nd contract, or we have the ready-made team for the next rookie QB or Vet we trade for.

      Joe Person: Panthers will let Cade Mays test the free agent market

      The Panthers are going to have a lot more flexibility in free agency than it looks like at first glance. On paper, the cap space might seem tight, but there are several obvious restructure candidates that could easily free up significant room. Between converting base salaries into signing bonuses and spreading cap hits out over future years, Carolina could realistically clear $60–80 million in additional space if they wanted to be aggressive. That kind of flexibility means they’re not stuck. They can extend key young pieces, add help along the offensive line, upgrade the defense, and still be strategic about value signings. Letting Cade Mays test the market makes sense from a leverage standpoint. If he’s willing to come back on a team-friendly deal, great, continuity on the line matters. But if his market price climbs, the Panthers should absolutely explore upgrades. The point is, this front office isn’t boxed in. With cap maneuvering and smart structuring, they have the ability to be active players in free agency rather than sitting on the sidelines like we are used too.
