As we enter FA, I always find the compensatory pick strategy interesting.  I know the Panthers front office takes this into account when signing and releasing players. 

 

Current Panther CFAs and their status.

Josh Norman (Signed by Washington) Value rd3 

Jericho Cotchery

Roman Harper

Amini Silatolu

Charles Tillman

Frank Alexander

Brad Nortman (signed by Jacksonville) Value rd7

Tyronne Green

Fernando Velasco (Non-qualifying UFA)

Cortland Finnegan.

 

Panther FA Acquisitions:

Gino Gradkowski (Qualifying UFA) Value rd7

Paul Soliai (Released)

Trenton Robinson (Released)*

Michael Palardy (Released)

 

Carolina Panthers
Qualifying UFAs Lost: 2 Qualifying UFAs Gained: 1
Name Rd. Real APY Name Rd. Real APY
Josh Norman 3 $15,000,000  
Brad Nortman 7 $2,200,000 Gino Gradkowski 7 $1,050,000
Non-Qualifying UFAs Lost Non-Qualifying UFAs Gained
Fernando Velasco 7 $965,000      

The current cut off for contracts counting toward compensatory picks in the 7th round is 970,000

I'm not thinking we're going to have much shot at comp picks next year.

Cotchery & Harper I assume are both gone, but I'm not positive they'll be signed by anyone else.  Same with Tillman.  If he's not with us, doubt he'll be with anyone.  Same with Finnegan.

Frank Alexander won't be signed by anyone given that he's suspended through late November.

Green - I know nothing about how he's recovered from injury.  Assume he'll be let go.  Don't know if he's done or not.

Tolbert, Silatolu, Velasco, Nortman - I'm thinking we're quite likely to resign all of them.  If any of these go, these would be the most likely to get us comp picks.

Webb, Love - I consider LOCKS for us to resign.  If for any reason we can't reach a deal, then yes, they would be signed and could help us get comp picks.

Utilizing the draft or the free agency period to stock the team has been a weak point for the Panthers. They actively do not maintain the roster necessary to farm compensatory picks.

I doubt the Panthers will see a compensatory pick for several of the upcoming drafts. The Panthers do not farm enough players in the draft and they have a difficult time signing key free agents of value to compete for the comp picks.

When a team has to sign players off the street, trade for vets ready to retire, trade for young projects mid season, and scrape up less than effective practice squad players to fill key spots on the depth chart in an effort to stay competitive for the playoffs, then that team has an ineffective system in the off season.

The Panthers have more roster turnover during the season than any other NFL team over the past 3 season (the last 2 have been really bad).

Thankfully, the Panthers have some of the best players in the NFL at their given positions to carry the team and make up for the inadequacies of the Panthers depth.

Wow. That is some quality bs right there. I know some farmers who would pay good money for that much fertilizer. 

You really wear your disdain for Gettleman right out on your sleeve don't you? Did he beat you up as a child?

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Basbear · Posted

      Brother re-check that guarantee...my page shows 30mill.....thats means he's staying in my book for at least til the end of 2026.  Im going to be my normal honest self, besides watching like half of the SB, I didn't know the guy. My guess is Panthers have a "planned model of paying players" and they almost had to spend a chunk of space on a DLman after Dbrown injury season gave them a nightmare out-come of worst D in NFL scoring. Once Milton got above Dbrown payments, they went with the plan B. A player whom the "co-GM" put his name with. Brad said turk would not be a problem off-field and leader, which the Panthers need badly. I dug in with the google-fu, I found out  I also found him playing lots of NT, which was shocking given the small frame. He seems ready for a bigger role and had a great SB too. IDK, I feel Dan Morgan was dead set on not going into this season without more DL depth and its there. The real deal is this, nearly all FA take one year to "adjust". I think turk is trying too hard and causing injuries as a result for his contract. Dbrown called turk "strong as hell" and I know for a fact Dbrowns has insane core and strength numbers. They lift together with the 50 LB difference...... you always lift with a guy who's similar in strength cause you can leave on the 8 wheels, let the other guy lift while you rest and go after him.  I do wish he had a better beginning to his panther career, 3 games for him to do so and it would cover up the low points if he made a few plays.... Again it felt like they almost had to make move/spend $$$ and Morgan was going to have DL depth this season no matter what...My best guess.

      If you can only fire ONE person before 2026....

      There's a reason DC wasn't getting calls to be a HC. He wasn't ready. His indecisiveness is infuriating. His lack of awareness is mystifying. He jumped at the chance to grab the David Tepper retirement plan and who can really blame him. Maybe with time he can grow into the job. But we're on year 8 of our 7 year rebuild. I think I'm gonna need a hip replacement before we get a decent HC.
