One Year Later, Would You Still Be Interested?

Last year it seemed like once Steve Smith was released everyone, including myself, wanted Dave Gettleman to sign And bring home Hakeem Nicks. As we all know he went off to Indianapolis and didn't have a great season. Now a year later he is back on the market and I believe he could still be a good for the Panthers. He is still young and will be going into his year 27 season at the beginning of the year. He didn't have a great year so I believe he will come cheaply and possibly less than what he got last year. I know we need speed but this move wouldn't prevent us from taking someone in the draft and bringing back Ginn. Originally I was all aboard the Torrey Smith bandwagon, but after seeing what he rejected in Baltimore I am not holding my breath.

So a year later does Hakeem Nicks still interest you guys?

He's overated and has no serious upside or potential. For the vet min sure, but not what he's going to ask for.

I'd be perfectly happy to bring him here. Good player. Big game experience. I'm not too worried about cost because I'm confident DG won't overpay. I'd say he's worth a little more than vet min though. Him, Ginn, and a rookie, plus what we have. I'm more satisified with that than not.

He just seems like the typical Gettleman signing this year. Will draw very little interest and probably could be cheap. If you june 1st cut cotchery you save 1.5 million this year. I don't hate this offense

And that's with no rookies. Sprinkle in one or two and you've got yourself one of them there football teams as the kids say.

    • Have you seen the mock drafts lately?   Most of them have us taking a QB. Just because you aren't high on these QBs doesn't mean the Panthers or other teams aren't.   If you want me to be real I just think you a Tmac homer and all you care about is us drafting him. It's why you get so defensive when people mention other prospects.   Be open to other people's ideas. Nobody in this thread is saying anything bad about your boy Tmac. 
    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
    • Sanders is with Tom Brady brand and that's his mentor. The Raiders owner was with Sanders taking pics at a Vegas game together.   It doesn't take much to connect the dots that Vegas will be interested in Sanders as their franchise QB. Oh yeah and guess who hasa small ownership stake in the Raiders Tom Brady.   I guess this is just another made up Madden idea by me huh?
