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...."

      Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.

      They will still be a playoff team but they aren't contenders anymore IMO. They won't be able to spend like they have when they went to a SB and proved he couldn't carry a win at that level with a really good team around him. Now he is going to have to do it with less to spend around him. They just locked in to being a playoff bound team that's going to be a known speed bump for whoever will represent the NFC in the SB.

      Hmm. I think he'll live up to it. Last year, about half of his team was on IR it seems, at one time or another. Year before, Super Bowl appearance. Year before that, playoff run after being third on the depth chart and being pressed into service. Is he one of the greatest in the game right now? Nope. No chance of that. Is he in the top 10 going into next season? Pretty good chance of that.  Would 20 or more teams in this league love to have the guy as their starting QB. Most likely so. He's a good QB who can implement his coach's game plan to a T and has both the confidence of and confidence in his teammates. That'll take you a long way in this league if you've got the right cast around you, and he does.
