Panthers sign OT Donald Hawkins
 

Quote

 

The Panthers signed offensive tackle Donald Hawkins, who spent the entire 2014 season on the Dallas Cowboys' 53-man roster, to a future contract today. Hawkins appeared in one game for the Cowboys as a rookie, then spent last season on the Miami and San Francisco practice squads.

The Panthers previously signed wide receiver Cobi Hamilton, defensive end Larry Webster, guards David Yankey and Tyler Larsen, center Matt Masifilo, defensive tackle Eric Crume and cornerback Travell Dixon.

 

Super B...wait...

I saw it yesterday. Super bowl bound and still not satisfied, and it trying to get better.

If you're a player on this team, or a fan, you have to love this.

We all have been thinking dynasty for awhile now, but it's seriously looking like that may actually come to fruition!

Just now, ItsNotGonnaBeAlright said:

10 bucks says Gettleman is more concerned with scouting reports for the draft and free agents next season than he is with the Super Bowl right now.

Totally agree. There is nothing he can do to affect the SB roster so I bet his eyes are completely the horizon.

Not to steal the thunder from our most recent OL signing, but I totally forgot that DG snagged Yankey.  I remember being a huge Yankey fan when he was coming out of Stanford. Not that we need an OG, but his versatility is flexible enough to step in at OT too.  Amazing depth on this line.  

God Bless you DG.

    • Serious question:  Why LG and not RG?  There may be something I do not know, but Hunt's contract is huge and he could be let go after this season (post june 1 cut) and it would save the Panthers a ton of money.  Extending him would be paying a G who is in his mid 30s guaranteed money (and I do not see that as a terrible thing).  So if we release him at age 31, we save $19m.  I like him, but at 31, will he be worth the mega contract?   LG Damien Lewis has actually outperformed Hunt and he is a year younger.  He would also save less vs. the cap and leave less in the dead cap pool.  While his current contract expires after the 2027 season, he is a better prospect (IMO) to extend because only 50% of his current contract was guaranteed.  Here are his contract numbers.   Now, getting to Ickey--he could want LT money if he is offered a second contract.  If we pay him LT money to play either G positions, we are likely overpaying.  Secondly, the injury he suffered could be one that limits his productivity.  Ickey was improving, but he was an average LT.  The only way I re-sign Ickey is to have him accept a G contract and make a lot of it incentive based.     I feel like I am missing something, but in my mind, Ickey was always a guard if you consider the fact that he is an average OT and would be a great G.  Is that still the case (injury)?
    • Supplemental draft uses picks from next year. So a team were to draft him in the 1st, their upcoming 1st next draft would no longer be available. There have been some notable players that were obtained in the supplemental draft, such as Kosar. It doesn't necessarily happen every year either, and is more on a as needed basis. The gambling trouble is a big red flag for teams, and maybe pushes him down to a 4th? Not sure a team would use a 1st on him.
