I'm just glad we can have conversations about picking up solid additions to either start or build a good rotation. Would love to have either of those guys here. In general would be happy with getting 2 solid/good FA ( suspect this will be OL and DB) and maybe a couple dollar store Dave rentals. Combine that with another strong draft class and it will be a great offseason IMO.

Nothing wrong with bring in comp for remmers. Please look at what the current of Ts is; a canada goose, a DT, remmers whom was cut form 5 teams in two years....... maybe amini a second round bust that only played are LG. That's very very sad.

Panthers need about 4/5 Ts overall to compete with the current group.

Would take Free in a heartbeat at either LT or RT. Fact of the matter is that we're simply not very good there. Remmers was some lightening in a bottle this year but you've got to wonder if it was just that or if there's something else to his performance. A veteran that we can at least plug in at LT and a high draft pick on an OT are a must this offseason. We've apparently shown a lot of interest in La'el Collins, who I think is the perfect fit to ease into the NFL at RT before transitioning him to LT.

I would be ecstatic if we bring Free in. Whether it be at LT or RT I don't care much, all I know is it would guarantee we're solid at at least one tackle position. Love Remmers but he's not definitely the long term guy. I'd be happy and much less nervous with Free at LT than a rookie there. Free-Norwell-Kalil-Turner-Remmers would be solid enough to not ruin our chances of winning games. If we sign Free and go mid to late in the draft at tackle then we could get more secondary/WR help early in the draft or even a pass rusher (BPA) and I think we'd be in a really really good position. Gettleman's the man so whatever he does I trust.

Even if a guy like Free comes in and does end up playing LT...

 

 

We'll be drafting an OT prospect to groom...who won't be ready to play LT. Honestly, an average LT is probably our best case scenario for 2015. He plays to give the line some stability, as we groom the rookie future LT and he steps in during the 2016 season.

It'd be nice to have young prospects learning from a couple solid veteran tackles, free and remmers would be a solid duo

Dallas is in quite a conundrum this off season. They are in the rare position of having two starting caliber right tackles on the team, but both will be free agents come March 10. 

 

Doug Free was the starter most of the 2014 season with the Cowboys until a foot injury sidelined him. Then, Jermey Parnell stepped in and played just as well as Free, including starting the two playoff games. 

 

It is doubtful that Dallas will sign both players, as both know now that they are starters in the NFL. So one of these guys will be available. 

 

Most agree Free is the better player, but not by much. Parnell is 3 years younger, the Cowboys may go with youth. 

 

The Panthers look like they have a solid player in Mike Remmers, but there is no depth at tackle on the squad. The idea of bringing in another right tackle to compete, or possibly even toying with either at left tackle may be enticing to Dave Gettleman. 

 

Remmers played LT at Ore State, and I he has the build to play LT.  I would like the RT to be more of a run blocker.

      Ranked Panthers as the Best this year!!

      By frankw · Posted

      If you're looking for a pat on the back it sounds good in theory until you realize they also had the 2023 Panthers as the top draft class.

      Going into the 2003 and 2015 seasons we were supposed to be the joke of the league each time. In 2003, John Fox was supposed to still be in rebuild mode. We had a guy named Peppers on the defensive line who was supposed to be pretty good. We had Rodney Peete as our starting QB and a line that was a lot of hope and not much experience. Our new running back was a guy the Redskins, errrr Commanders, had jettisoned for being too old. We had a good kicker and writers thought that was needed because there were going to be more field goals than touch downs. Heck, it looked like they were right up until just before halftime of that first game when we had to yank Rodney Peete and put in some Cajun duded whose name couldn't be pronounced. And Steve Smith? He wasn't Smitty yet. Moose Muhammad, well, he was close to being written off as a bust. You know how that turned out. And then in 2015, we had Cam Newton, who was electrifying to watch but hadn't really won anything yet. There was an offensive line in front of him that looked like it was made in a defunct Swiss cheese factory and our big hope on offense was the great Kelvin Benjamin. And then he got taken out for the year with a knee injury in training camp. Ted "Feet of Lightning, Hands of Stone" Ginn became our default go to guy beside our next best hope, yeah, Devin Funchess. Our defense was pretty good, a scrappy bunch with frikkin' awesome linebacker play and a cornerback who had done more than drank the Kool-Aid, but had snorted the powder. He played like a superhero and became sort of a bat-man during the season. By the Super Bowl he had completely lost his freaking mind, though, and managed to talk his way out of a contract with the team next year. No one was expecting us to win the NFCSouth that season, much less almost go undefeated and into the Super Bowl. So, 2026? Who knows? But our best seasons came when no one had a reason to believe in us, except us.
