Chris Long, DE, 30 

Mario Williams, DE, 31

Jason Pierre Paul, DE, 27

Robert Ayers Jr., DE, 30

Kevin Dodd, DE, 23

 

I feel like one way or another, we end up with one of these dudes, which one would you all prefer? I feel like Ayers is the most sensible as he matches the scheme and has just as much value as any of the others, though Chris Long would seem to fill that Jared Allen spot. 

 

What say you?

A lot depends on what happens with CJ...  but, my guess is that we'll double dip.  Sign a free agent AND target a DE in the draft.  I mean we're all thinking CJ is getting past his prime (at least in terms of speedy pass rushing) as he hits 30, not sure we want to sign a mega deal with ANOTHER 30 year old DE..., but certainly if CJ leaves, we need a vet who is a proven starter in addition to whomever we might draft.

We need another vet, pure and simple, regardless of what happens with CJ.  BPA in the draft, if it's DE, fine, if not, fine.

My order of vets, based on what I think they will cost AND how I think they will produce/fit in.  Bang for buck if you will.  With an added sprinkle of how much it will hinder/piss off the competition.

Hardy>Hayes>Williams>Ayers>Vernon>Long>JPP.  

Sorry I don't want someone trying to play at the highest level full time without a functioning hand due to their own stupidity.

      Off Season Thread

      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.
