I didnt see this posted elsewhere so apologies if it is and I missed it (and please lock it or delete it mods) - I thought given the excitement over some of the signings it might be of interest.

CAR was ranked 5th (a little low compared to the ones ranked ahead of us in my opinion). NO was ranked first, and TB third.

Interesting comments on McGee, he hasn't gotten much attention due to Cash (more glowing comments below) and Garrett.

5. Carolina Panthers

The Panthers matched the Saints' league-low five draft picks, so they were looking hard at UDFA talent. I guess Jeremy Cash was considered a 'tweener by NFL teams, but I'll take him on my team anytime. Whether he plays safety or linebacker for the Panthers, he'll make plays.Keyarris Garrett was another find after the draft who will be in the mix for the fifth receiver spot. Though Beau Sandland was drafted by Carolina due to his athletic skill set, UDFA signee Jake McGee is the better player right now. Jared Norris should stick as a capable inside/outside linebacker and special-teams force.

Ya know, this makes no sense to me.  If you look at the list of top rated UDFAs, we got 3 of the top 10, including the top 2.  So how are we ranked 5th as far as UDFA pickups?  But then, NO and TB are going to be at the top of every list of "Golly gee, look who's going to winz the Super Bowlz this year." 

Now, perhaps if they are talking about immediate starters or highly impactful players...mmm, perhaps I can see it.  Just look at the teams listed before us and then take a look at last years rosters for those teams.  It wouldm't take much to be an upgrade or have an impact in a lot of positions on those teams whereas we have a very strong roster going into the the draft.  While our roster wasn't "complete" (very few NFL teams are) we are very close so the UDFAs might not make that much of an impact the first year...IF they make the team at all.  But I think a couple of them will.

      Wild Idea.. Trade for Shemar Stewart

      By Basbear · Posted

      Best I heard its a clause the bungals want to add. It prevents them form paying the full guaranteed amount if triggered. No one knows the details of the clause, but guesses are it relates to off-field stuff. Stewart is in the right here. Before they signed burrow, chase, and Higgins they were the cheapest team in the league bar none. Unlike tepper or jarrah Jones or any other NFL ownership, all Mike brown owns is the beagals. Every other owner has many other money making businesses, not bungals.  I still remember when Brenston Bunker was starting on WFNZ and he told the story about the beagals telling him to pick a used cup form a huge pile, LOLS! They been on hard knocks and I remember Marvin lewis telling the players not to take home Gatorade bottles........* but in that case, I believe some players were taking a back pack and filling it up with drinks. Still you make millions(around 200million) in net profit and Im sure coke gave the team those bottles, still... Its a 32 team billion business, someone has to the cheapest.....Panthers were around the next cheapest team before tepper bought them and he has POURED millions upon millions into the team. He bought a bubble that Richardson never would, so the team had to gather in building during the rain. He spent millions on coofus machines that he just gave away like the bubble. Tepper made that AC trailer a thing. I've trashed him about his concerts and taking away end zone seats from fans. But the guy will spend money any way to efforts to better the team, dang I just remembered the deal he gave Rhule- more than Andy Reid at the time.  I know results have not came, but Id 100% take Tepper over Mike brown as a owner.

      TIME TO SPECULATE

      There's no way they're shipping you some uniform you haven't seen lol.  I feel like they'd just refund you and ask if you wanted the new one when it launched. Probably just making the blues the primary, or a new helmet for a new alternate/variation.

      Man even after 5-12 seasons they are able to produce hype videos.
