Irrational & Realistic FA Wishlists

I thought this would be a fun exercise: pick a few free agents you would without a doubt like to see on the Panthers.  You can be realistic or just type up some high paids you'd love to see.  I'm cool with either route.  Maybe even guess who you'd like then who you think is a guy we may get. 

Here's a decent resource with minimal ads: http://www.scout.com/nfl/a.z?s=127&p=9&c=12&nid=83&lnid=83&yr=2016

I'm posing this because I think this is a really spotty class but also believe there's talent to be found, it's just about the where and the one's that may be overlooked at the moment. 

On my end, I've got a few in mind that I like for us: David Bruton (S), Robert Ayers (DE), Marvin Jones (WR), & Mike Harris (OT/G)  

What say you?

I really want Jeffery, but he may want Dez money or around that.  I know KB is coming back but it would be great insurance and when Jeffery's contract was coming up KB's would be as well.

I would like Hardy back, but it's not happening.  

I really think we need to work on offensive line and stack the WR core.   I think we draft a DE to go with Ealy and also use Addison/rotation on the other end.  

I'd like to keep Norman and resign Short.

I think Gettleman has proven he can fill in defense with value signings and picks.

I think it's time we make a "smart" splash in Jeffery.  I'm not saying sign everyone, but that would be a great pickup.

Jeffery is one of the most injury prone players I've ever seen. Not like Gronk where he'll have a season ending injury every other year but he has numerous lingering injuries pretty much the entire season and always misses a few games. He's going to demand a lot and to me it's not worth it. I like him as a player but with KB coming back and Funches and Ginn/Philly I don't see us spending money on him. As far as a "splash" signing goes I could see it at one position only... DE. And even then I still doubt it. I'll be happy if DG continues to do what he's done the past few years. Pick up reasonably priced back-end free agents who fit our culture and scheme and draft BPA and keep our own talent. We made it to the Super Bowl this past year without KB and Bene and we're not losing anybody important. Adding a few more signings and draft picks and continued development from our draft picks from 13, 14 and 15 I think we've got the best shot of anybody at winning it next year.

 

Edit: Want to add I could see us going after Weddle. Not sure if he'd be considered a splash signing at this point but I think it's possible he's a Panther next year, and I really hope so.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By fanpanther · Posted

      the one thing this post has suprised me with is how much support there still is for young.  i dont understand why.  we had qbs before him that went to superbowls that lost support way quicker.  thr only qb we had had that started any number of games that played worse than young is clausen.  allen and moore played better and yet people still support him makes 0 sense to me

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      Again, can’t have a serious discussion if constantly wading through hyperbole. And you say that’s not really what was meant, but I tried to at one point get some folks to concede that he was physically capable of throwing a football 20yds just so we could get to a real discussion and they stuck with it. So I’m not sure your characterization is entirely accurate.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      And this is his third year. As far as people not understanding things, I am not sure people accept how difficult it is to remake yourself from the ground up. Which he absolutely has to do to compete successfully at the NFL level.  He takes a step forward with the footwork and a step back when he is stressed and reverts to what always worked for him before. I will say it yet again, anyone that reached a level of success with their self taught technique but needed to rebuild to break through the limitations that imposed, will understand this. I don’t care what specific activity it is the same challenge. Muscle memory and comfort level fight against the new moves you are trying to train yourself to do without thinking.  He is there. There is a ceiling with his technique that is too low for the NFL. He has to retrain himself.  We are in the third year and I guess we are supposed believe that he will be so good  when he finally gets to where the new will be second nature, that we have to wait (how many more years) for him to finish doing it. If he ever finishes.  The sad fact is he will not succeed at the NFL level with his horrible college footwork and compensation moves like the tippy toe drop backs. He just won’t.  If he can’t put that on the table for us, we would be foolish to not seek an alternative plan.
