We are one dominate OT away from being a totally different team on offense. I agree sign the fug out of him.

And while your at it draft an OT in the 2nd or 3rd round to groom to replace Remmers. I don't think there are any OT talent that's worth a high first round pick this draft.

This discussion comes aroumd every year and the net result is that contracts generally inflate in accordance, especially FA contracts chasing shallow pools of players (Anthony Collins, Torrey Smith at 8MM a year, etc.). That said, it could be advantageous for Carolina since they could front-load contracts for their own talent and avoid some cap trouble down the road.

OT, WR, TE2, FB, RB2

We are not 1 position away from either side of the ball.

* We are one dominate OT and one good OC away from being a totally different team on offense. Fixed you can thank me later.

Sign Norwell, Sign Short, Sign Star

49ers will cut Joe Staley won't they ? Sign him

Norwell will be tendered. Short will be allowed to walk. Star is already sealed on an 8M option year for 2017. Staley's agent will use Gettleman for leverage to get a better contract with another team.

We have been a dominant franchise OT away from a consistent offense since Gross left. Gettleman is not looking for a franchise LT. He likes projects at OT. Gettleman does not groom players. He lets key players go and throws inexperience to the wolves.

The Panthers also need another sure handed receiver for 3rd down. That has been a major void this year.

When everyone we need to sign is inked up on favorable contracts going forward, and we still have a ton of cap space to make some key FA acquisitions for the first time, maybe Gettleman will finally get credit for the hole he dug us out of.

You fail to realize Gettleman has had money to spend in 2014, 2015, and 2016. He does not spend money. He saves it to possibly sign current players at a discount price. The players want top dollar and Gettleman refuses to pay them. So, Gettleman does not spend the money, let's the key players walk, and saves it for the next off season to repeat the process.

Gettleman will not pay for an impact players. He will use it to over pay mediocre talent. I could see him going on a spending spree by loading up on 10 Soliai type players for 3 to 4M per season.

Olsen, Kalil, Cam, Luke, these are "impact" players that Gettleman has signed.

Oh but let's keep on the narrative that "Gettleman sucks because he didn't spend a lot of money."

Gee, wonder why. Can't be the fact we barely had any cap to begin with.

Gettleman has proven time and time again that he is cheap. Even in the winning seasons he hasnt spent any money. Why does everyone think he will go crazy this offseason?

Because he actually has money now he could spend, unlike the prior years reeking with Hurney contracts?

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      As I've said numerous times the last few days, having Thielen on the field has literally 0% to do with my views on this (I've even said I think Renfrow is going to take a ton of snaps from Thielen anyways).  He has more value to this team without playing a single snap than a 2026 5th round draft pick does for the franchise.   His value is helping set up T-Mac, XL, Coker, and Horn for long term success by helping them learn how to be pros, how to go about their business, how to train, how to do all the little things that helped turn Thielen from a D2 undrafted player into a borderline Vikings legend.

      Official Panthers roster cuts thread

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      He only wants to be traded because it's the Vikings who are calling. If he didn't want to be here, he could have retired, instead he took a pay raise to come back for another season.  I get it, it's an opportunity that he'd like to take, but we shouldn't cut off our nose to spite our face because he now wants to jump at this opportunity less than two weeks before the season starts. I'm not against trading him, I'm just against trading him for a return that doesn't help our team as much as having him on the roster would.  I'll put it this way, if a 5th is the best we can get for him from the Vikings and he's now dug in on not wanting to stay this year, I'm saying screw you and trading him to any of the other 30 teams besides the Vikings for the best offer we can get. He was perfectly happy here a week ago, if the Vikings soured him on that and then want to get him for peanuts, then screw them both.

      Yes and no, he wants to go back and his wife most definitely wants to go back. He took a bunch of team mates to Minny and has worked out with JJ two offseasons in a row. It's where both him and his wife are from.    The money was basically a please come back and help Bryce. Pretty please...here's some more money.    Now he's agreed to a paycut to go back to the Vikings.
