Looks like Panthers have signed WR Kevin Norwood

Damned if we do make a move and damned if we don't. The fact is people wouldn't be happy unless we got a big named WR and to be honest I think that the Panthers aren't looking for bandaids but players that can grow with Cam. Now it sounds like we were high on the guy in last years draft and considering him so what is the harm in a conditional pick when he wouldn't have lasted on the waiver wire until we are able to pick him up? 

Now do I think he is the answer? Doubt it, but we won't know until he comes in here. I can already say that we need someone who is willing to FIGHT for the ball and not let the ball come to them. It seems like all of our receivers that are active right now won't win in a fight and hopefully this guy will. 

I know I am a homer but lets keep it real, Gettleman has a good track record so far with draft picks and I am considering him a draft pick of ours since we wanted him.

From the video clips I watched he looks like a less athletic Funchess. He's stiff and rigid, much like Bersin but has near perfect form while catching and makes great use of his hands. Has good straight line speed and like KB he high points the ball and shields with his body really well.

Really looks like another Boykin or Bersin type, don't see what he really adds other than abother body.

Strikes me as a potential replacement for Philly if he doesn't work out his hands issue.  By all accounts we liked Norwood in the 4th round last year - might have been rated higher than Philly in draft eval and he has good hands.  Give Philly a few weeks and if things don't improve give Norwood a shot.

2 completely different type of WRs! Huh?

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
