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...."

      DJ Moore trade talk

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Yes, he's a tier above them, but you also touched on the money side of it.  With T-Mac locked in as our #1 on a rookie contract for a few more years, I'd much rather use that money that would be needed for DJ on our defense and develop Coker into our #2.   Especially given his contract situation as an UDFA, as his contract is up at the end of this year but we can keep him around for a 3rd team controlled year on the real cheap.  Which means we probably could get him to sign a very reasonable extension this offseason to give him a little more money while giving us a bargain contract for what he provides. DJ's contract is north of $20 million for the next 5 years, why pay that for your #2 WR with the needs we have on defense and you have guys like Coker, XL, and Horn on rookie contracts who very well could combine to be a serviceable 2-4 WRs behind a stud in T-mac? I love DJ and he'd be a great fit on this team as our #2, but the money side of it just makes absolutely zero sense, that's all it comes down to for me on this one. And no, I don't see the Bears wanting XL back in that trade, because they drafted Burden, who is essentially a better version of what XL provides, a player you want to get the ball into their hands and let them go to work.

      This has to be bitached about, those biased refs

      By fanpanther · Posted

      I didnt see that many bad calls in the panthers cowboys game, but the chiefs especially in the playoffs were getting every single call they could get then the refs when it didnt matter would throw a call towards the other teams.  That I believe was the taylor swift effect.   But its crazy just thinking about how easy it is to change a game.  You dont need but a single ref to make a few close calls go towards one team over the other and in the nfl that is the game.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By CRA · Posted

      I don't think it's unrealistically blaming Bryce Young......to say has been a reason, sometimes a big one, in why our pass offense overall has been extremely week over the past 3 collective seasons.  I think that bothering anyone, is just being overly invested in some Bryce Young argument.  It's just a reality.
