I was just on the NFL.com live chat and here is what Jason La Conforna said about big name cuts,

"One player I am sniffing around on right now is Casey Hampton. Steelers could use some cap room, he may not be someoen they would extend at this point. Id think a trade is more likely, but some people I know close to the situation say they would not be stunned if a move of some sort was made."

Hampton started 13 games for the Steelers last season and while he is a little up there in years (31) he is also up there in lbs (325). I don't think he is an ideal option but a definite improvement over our current situation.

Thoughts?

Here's what he said about my question on whether the Panthers would trade for a replacement DT or wait until cuts are made:

"You can't find guys like that on the street, that's the problem. There aren't too many 330 pounders who can play. They have been scouting Green Bay closely and were very interested in Dusty Dvoracek from Chicago before he was lost for the season, again. If Casey Hamton hit the market he would be of interest for sure, I imagine, but would they want to give him a big ticket extension at age 31? They have been actively looking for sure. Better tighten up that run defense. "

what's his cap value? Panthers are slim in that department, so a significant move to free up space would have to be made.

Think he is a career 3-4 guy, but at this point I think sean gilbert would be an improvement. He would certainly help this team out. I believe moving to a 4-3 would help his life expectancy out and would be a great fit. Problem with him is he would prob want a new deal upon being traded not sure we can afford at this point.

He give any likely desinations or compensation for him?

Arguably the best NT in the game for the last 4 years? I'd say lets bring him in and give him a contract. He'd probably be an upgrade over our DL from last year. I have to disagree with you about not being ideal. I'd love to have Hampton on our DL. He is accustomed to dominating double teams up the middle as a true 3-4 NT in Pittsburgh...

He would be more than a stop-gap. He would be the best DT on the team.

I agree, but I don't know what we would do with him and Kemo next year. He did mention that there would probably have to be some long term deal. I asked about whether the Browns were shopping Correy Williams but he never answered it, should of put a different name.

What do you mean? You would put Kemo and Hampton out there at the same time. Hampton is about the size of Kris Jenkins right? And we had Kemo and Jenkins start for a while.

      I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50.

      Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
