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

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?

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      By SCO96 · Posted

      If we were a solid winning organization most of us would have no problems with this selection. We would have had a capable starter in place to allow him to be eased into the rotation. If were told prior to the draft that he had been completely cleared health wise, we "probably" wouldn't have a ton of reservations about this selection. If we had picked this young man on Day 3 of the draft most of us would have no problems with this selection because we wouldn't have had to use draft capital to move up and get him. Unfortunately, none of the above were true 1)  We were a terrible team in 2024 and needed an immediate impact player. 2)  He was hurt near the the end of the 2023 season. We traded up to get him even though we knew he wasn't medically cleared to play in 2024. 3) When training camp started we were hearing stories that the knee wasn't ready. That alone should have raised some red flags. I personally would have red-shirted him in 2024 in order to have him ready for 2025. We had Chubba as our lead back and other guys to fill the #2 and #3 spots on the depth chart. There was no need to rush Brooks unto the field in 2024. Here's our draft history in the 2nd round between 2021 and 2024 2021 TMJ 2022 No draft choice. We picked Matt Corall in round 3 (#94) as our only Day 2 pick. 2023 Jonathan Mingo 2024 Jonathon Brooks. We have taken 4 skill players on Day 2 of the draft for the past 4 years who have contributed absolutely nothing to the offensive side of the football. 3 are no longer on the team. Two of them are no longer in the NFL. One  could possibly never start a game due to a knee injury. This type of poor drafting is why this team has been so bad for the entire decade.

      Clowney released

      By Waldo · Posted

      Even limited as he was I still don't think they have replaced his production, and not just the sack stats. The games Clowney missed it was very obvious what his value still was. Risky move but whatever. They only had 32 sacks last year and if that drops then it's going to get ugly. I see the improvement in run stopping but not in pass protect in any way.
