Antonio Cromartie wants to come to Carolina

In a recent twitter conversation, cornerback Antonio Cromartie confirms he would like to be in Carolina...

In the tweet he seems to indicate there has been no interest returned his way, however. "Interest fro both sides" is apparently not there. 

With the departure of Boykin yesterday, I highly doubt another veteran journeyman is signed to the Panthers roster. Dave Gettleman appears to be wanting to rip the bandaid off of the "rotating 1 year deal veteran player in the defensive backfield" issue. 

If the Panthers ever wish to be truly special, they need their own guys in the secondary. Guys that have bought into the team long term and have been brought up within the system. 

If Boykin's release is any indication, the Panthers think they have found those players in Bradberry, Worley, and Sanchez.

makes a lot of sense to me: a workable veteran with experience with Rivera in San Diego? Then again, Boykin made a lot of sense to me too. So what do I know. Then again, it's tough to see Carolina picking up a journeyman after they just dropped before even seeing him in training camp. I really am flabbergasted (aye, flabbergasted) by us cutting Boykin.

Just thinking about baseball helps.

I try to name all of the backup olinemen which leads to some internal discussion. "....williams, Scott, folkerts.... Wait. Do we still have folkerts? No, I think he is gone... Hmm when did we let him go? I wonder if my wife will see if I pull my phone out and check...."

      2025 Roster Cuts

      We have without question one of the worst QB rooms in the league and your key concern is people having the audacity to be talking about it lol.

      I saw this list crossing the screen waiting for any Panther.  Chubba, JC Horn and Hunt.  It was a crime to see so many that were not as good as these three.  ESPN is garbage anyhow.

      Bingo!  We are on the same page.  Our scouting department was average under Hurney, but at least we hit hit it out of the park with our first rounders.  Our scouting department under Tepper's reign with his revolving doors of HCs and GMs has sucked because the scouts largely stay in place.  One or two may change every few years, but the core philosophy stays in place and I believe that to be heavily RAS influenced.    Looking the part of a football player (physical/athletic measurables) vastly outweighs putting on the tape and deep diving into his stats with our scouting department. Until we change that mindset, this team is doomed. Again, how many of us Huddlers (none of us are professional scouts) wanted McConkey over Legette? Yet, we went with XL.  Why?  RAS score, pure and simple.  If you put on the tape and look at the numbers without taking RAS into account, McConkey was the clear choice.
