Free agency not the draft will be the key this off season

[Carolina Cajun]

The things that will be interesting to me this offseason is the fact that we A)have cap room FINALLY, and B) are actually a destination for players.  In the past, we've had holes and we had to struggle to get quality players to come here unless we upped over other teams offers, but the question is now that we're THE contender, do free agents with "competing offers" decide to come here for a chance at a ring.  Still, in the Gettleman way, I think he take care of the guys he wants to keep first then solidifies the pieces he feels we "need" so that he has full ability to just go after BPA up and down the board in the draft.  March is gonna be more interesting for us this year than in the past few years.

I agree , we need to get some good free agents . Gettleman has been great finding diamonds in the ruff but we need a stud that can make a big impacr on our defense or oline

[Verge]

If we signed

Andre Smith

Robert Ayers

Henry Melton

Leon Hall

Rishard Matthews

 

and then drafted BPA, I would be ecstatic, and it wouldn't be that expensive, all get two year deals.

[Randolph Panther]

Would Mario Williams be a possiblilty?

We are not paying KK and star this year. They still have cheap deals. 

yes!!! But unless we sign all these free agents to one year deals we won't be able to in the future

You guys realize KB is coming back from a serious injury, and it's POSSIBLE he'll never be the same as he was?   Signing Jeffery would be the one FA splash that we should do.   It would be a great insurance policy, so if KB isn't the same or re-injures himself, we aren't back to the same WR core.   Guys, we're RIGHT here on going back to the SuperBowl.  We have a lot of money coming up.  Even with some extensions, we can get Jeffery here and draft well to fill some other needs or find guys like Coleman and Oher to fill others.  Keep the foot on the gas to a point.

Cordy Glenn has to be the big addition this off season.  We can move Oher over to RT, or have Daryl Williams start on the right side.  Glenn would definitely be the final piece in solidifying this O-line.  Unfortunately, it would also mean at some point, we will have to let either Norman or Star go when their contract runs up.  I would keep Norman.

F this alshon talk, we can get a cheap wr or late rd wr and with kelvin back well be fine , we need to get a rt ohers ok for now but rt is so damn important , this is a copy cat league people now know where to attack us and that is to send extra pass rushers and beat the f out of our ots. We also need help in our secoundary and some pash rushers. To be honest I cant see us getting any big name free agents, but  that doesnt mean we wont get decent free agents compared to the no namers we got in the past

Just like every other offseason everyone doubting Gettleman after he's proven people wrong.  People want to say sign Jeffery sign Mario. This isn't freaking Madden.  Jeffery is going to get some Huge deal.  We sign him kiss any idea of signing Kk or Norman extension goodbye.  We've got a core of players that just made the Super Bowl just 3 pleated the south and some people on here want to throw money out Hurney style.

KB is coming off an ACL tear.  Plenty of young guys come back strong from it. This  isn't 10 years ago where it was a career ended.  TD's torn it 3 times.  Gurley tore it as a Big RB and had a awesome year.

not trying to belittle what you are saying but YOU might keep Norman, but I 100% guarantee you that if given the choice Gettleman would choose Star over Norman every day of the week

Getting Jeffery would be equivalent to when we drafted Kuechly even though Beason was supposedly coming back healthy from Achilles tear. A move nobody understands or gets but will be a great, great move.

I see Jeffery to Carolina, for sure

well thats one for the Gman.

not another trojan wr please!

Sign Travis Benjamin and Eric Weddell as FA.  Look for another low priced FA as CB.  Tag Norman.  Draft OT, DE, CB, S.  We need a WR because non of our guys had the speed/ability in one package to get open.  Diamond in the rough CB in the draft for the second round if he is there is Will Redmond from Mississippi State if he is healthy.  Was a borderline 1st rounder before injuring his ACL.  Spence/Dodd in first if available as no OT at the end of the first excites me.

If  you want to win a SB you need to sign some notable FA, just like those other SB winning teams. You can't live off the draft and signing cheap bottom of the barrel FA forever.
