Irrational & Realistic FA Wishlists

Recommended Posts

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.

    • They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world. 
    • I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).
    • It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
