All depends on the draft, we are a KB injury away from being fuged at WR. It's like the Steve smith years all over again. I am optimistic that we may have the best line of Cam's career.

Forunately Benji is a mammoth and not injury prone. And we're also an injury away from being fuged at QB so that argument is moot. If we sign Jennings, which I still think we will, then our WR group will be among the top half of the league next year for the first time in Cam's career. If we can upgrade tackle in the draft we can also utilize Dickson as a receiver and Cam will have plenty of weapons. I'd be happy with Strong in the first or drafting a wideout early but I don't think it's necessary if we get Jennings. Then we can upgrade our secondary, o-line or d-line and make our team more complete.

The roster is definitely better than last year's. More tackle depth, the return of Ginn, more experienced youth etc. Also Hardy didn't really play much for us at all last season. So how is DE anymore a weakness than last year? Ealy is going to be good and CJ is a champ. Dave will take a DE if he's the BPA for sure anyway.

Honestly last year's struggles can be directly attributed to Greg Hardy.  They thought keeping him would be able to float the defense for another year while the team got more cap space.  Well they had 13 million tied up in a player that didn't see the field.  Imagine the 2014 roster if that 13 million could have been used to sign another LT, a better WR than Cotchery and Avant, etc.  They took that 13 million this year and spent it all on special teams and depth.  If they manage to grab 2-3 starters in the draft again, the Panthers could be very, very good.

There really weren't any out there that would cost that little, and be off the books as fast as Hardy was.

      Could do better could do worse. I've seen some people very indignant over bringing him back and I can absolutely relate to the sentiment. But it's just in a backup role. He's also a good locker room presence and an effort player so for a 1 year rental in a year where we aren't going to do much it's fine. This is a development year. And there will be options if need be at the trade deadline. Besides at the end of the day we all knew a signing like this was around the corner after how drafting Mark Williams ended. He should have been our franchise center for the next several years. I don’t put that failure on the Hornets.

      XL is out here being a hero!

      No one is upset.  And what I referred has been happening.   Patrick Mahomes has an offseason basketball clause in his contract.  A ton of other physical activites like jet skiing, baseball and all sorts of physical activities are written into his contract.  XL likely already has ATVs and stuff written into his contact.  League already has been inserting a lot of that stuff into basic contracts for non-top tier players and we have seen it pan out.
