You guys are hilarious with your "that was two years ago" but then "last year we were 6-10 so we gotta sign all the players I want"

Team sports aren't always about signings. Sometimes it's keeping the team together. I'll make you a bet right now we win more than 10 games next year.

Gman knows what he's doing, I promise. He does this for a career after all.

I'll wait until after the Draft to make that bet.

I see huddlers saying CJ will be a rotational guy only, but I see Rivera trotting him out there as a starter every week.

Who will still rotate in & out of the game

DE Charles Johnson, Panthers

Grade: B+

Johnson refuses to leave Carolina, and the Panthers have used that leverage to sign him to team-friendly deals in each of the past two offseasons. Last year, Dave Gettleman cut Johnson to save $11 million in cap space before re-signing him on a one-year, $2.5 million bargain of a contract. After a relatively modest four-sack, 14-hit season, Johnson will stick around in Carolina for two years and $9.5 million.

As part of a rotation with Mario Addison, Wes Horton and Kony Ealy, Johnson should be able to return value on that price tag. This is a deep draft for edge rushers, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see Gettleman draft a defensive end, but he has brought back his edge players from a year ago without costing Carolina much at all. The Panthers also re-signed fringe contributors such as Fozzy Whittaker and Colin Jones, suggesting that Carolina sees its return to contention coming through the players who were already on its roster.

This is a terrible signing. Please correct me if I'm wrong he only had 4 sacks last year. If he continues on his downward trend of less sacks. He probably will end up with 2 sacks this year. And we signed him to 2 years $9 million. What the f*ck is Gettleman thinking? Seriously this is pathetic
