REPORT: Panthers going after Munnerlyn and Peppers

David Newton ESPN Staff Writer 

Today's Carolina Panthers free agency recap: Arrivals: The Panthers came to terms on a five-year, $55-million deal ($25 million guaranteed) with former Minnesota Vikings left tackle Matt Kalil. The official announcement is expected Friday after Kalil flies from the West Coast to Charlotte. Locking down Kalil to assure Cam Newton's blind side was protected was key with 2015 left tackle acquisition Michael Oher still in the concussion protocol. There weren't many good options in free agency or the draft. The Panthers also were negotiating with other free agents. Among those expected to draw interest are Minnesota cornerback Captain Munnerlyn and Green Bay defensive end Julius Peppers. Departures: Wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr., a player Carolina wanted to re-sign, chased the money and signed with NFC South rival New Orleans. Backup linebacker A.J. Klein also signed with the Saints, wanting to pursue a starting job. He wouldn't get that chance playing behind Luke Kuechly. In all, 12 Carolina players became free agents, but these were the only two that signed during the first wave of free agency.

Just now, Sam Mills Fan said:

Why are we only going after former players or family of current players? Is this a pro football organization or a commune?

There's something about Carolina sports and wanting to run a sports team more like a family rather than like a business. Canes tried this and failed. We will too.

    • Dan tends to attack one specific position group per offseason and the sprinkle others throughout the roster. He extended Moton, signed Hunt, Lewis, Nijman one offseason and then extended Brown and signed Wharton and Hunt and drafted Jackson next offseason. My guess is he attacks LB and Edge this offseason.    1. What do you do with Icky? Likely a scratch for next season and due a massive contract (if healthy) They will bring back Nijman and Christensen and draft a guy on Day 2 is my guess and hope one of them can fill the hole. 2. Coker has the talent for 2nd WR, but do you pay a guy who gets hurt that premium? I think hes your number 3 simply due to risk. Will the Panthers seek another vet or go surprisingly high in the draft? They will probably sign him more and longer than the RFA Tender to keep him happy and not break the bank in the process. Can see them getting a Vet in FA like Tutu Atwell or Hollywood Brown. Somebody with speed but also isn’t overly expensive. I think Horn and Tremayne stick around and unfortunately Legette. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Tremble released and a real TE in brought in, there is a good FA group this year. 3. Do you give X more feature time? Or cut bait now? I wouldn’t be surprised if they traded him but I’m willing to bet he gets one more year. Maybe Canales can find a role like Shenault had with McAdoo.  4. Planning the long term/short term on OL Like I said I think Christensen and Nijman are brought back for T with a Day 2 rookie and prayer something sticks. Moton, Hunt, Lewis return ofcourse. Probably resign Corbett as a safeguard at Center but I think they go C in the 1st or 2nd. Wouldn’t be shocked to see Morgan trade to the back end of the 1st to get a solid C and add picks. 5. How do you address LB? I think Rozeboom leaves. Hoping CJ Allen or Sonny Styles is still there is too big of a risk. They probably go get Kaden Elliss or Leo Chenal and pay good money for them. Maybe a guy on Day 3 for depth with Cherelus and Martin-Scott. Also think he takes a swing at Edge, wouldn’t be shocked to see Hendrickson or Oweh here.  6. Do you bank of Chuba bouncing back?    I think Chuba remains Chuba. There are some decent change of pace backs out there this year that will be cheap. Still developing Etienne and Brooks may be healthy. I think it’s Chuba and that crew maybe a veteran that’s not Dowdle. More like Deejay Dallas who was here already once.  I also think Dalton calls it and they get an upgrade at back up. Nobody that would endanger Bryce’s job but somebody that isn’t 55 years old either. Trubisky, Minshew, Pickett, Kyle Allen (yes same one).  
    • This is my answer. If I got board I would just do guest drop ins to obscure podcasts but would definitely collect the cash from Tepper.
