Alan "Blue Balls" Ball leaves Panther offer on table

Nice. This could prove to be a really solid signing. Let him compete for the #2 CB (hell maybe #1) spot on the outside. Bene fills the slot. Tre, Harper and Coleman battle for the 2 safety positions. We could have a pretty decent defensive backfield. With the front four signed and settled (minus any rookies we get) and the starting LBs obvious...the defense looks presentable. I like it.

 

If nothing else, I would say that free agency (to include resignings of current players) has filled all of the holes (on defense) and allows for a much more objective approach to the draft. NEED seems to have been addressed. I'm pretty sure I've heard that's what FA is for somewhere. I just can't remember where.

Free agent corner Alan Ball is scheduled to visit the Panthers on Thursday afternoon, according to a league source.
There were media reports Thursday that Ball had already signed with Carolina, but there is not an agreement yet, according to two league sources.

 

If things go well, Ball could be a Panther by the end of Thursday.

    • With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.
    • Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.
    • Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
