Panthers Have Signed Safety Mike Adams

I've never been a fan of safeties that lack athleticism or range, but seeing the difference with the defense once we let Harper walk was eye opening, and he was the posterboy for safeties that lack athleticism and range lol.  But, he was smart.  Ideally, I hope we find a way to upgrade beyond Adams, and keep adding bodies to the position to improve our chances that one is the answer, but if he ends up being the starter, it's still better than the alternative.

I was referring to his athleticism and age (hence the "even in his prime").  36 at safety isn't ideal, especially for a guy who wasn't all that physically impressive to begin with. But, ultimately, i'm not complaining.  Anyone we add at safety is a plus at this point and the DBs could use his knowledge and experience.

ike Adams - DB - Panthers

Panthers agreed to terms with FS Mike Adams, formerly of the Colts, on a two-year contract.

The Panthers are getting a proven ballhawk in Adams, who has intercepted 12 passes over his last three seasons. The two-time Pro Bowler will bring a strong veteran presence to a Panthers secondary that went through growing pains in 2016. Adams turns 36 later this month. This could be his last contract.

So basically the new Roman Harper...not my first choice, but still is better than Tre Boston.

It definitely beats athletic but no f'ing clue what's going on. He should be good as long as we can hide his lack of athleticism like we did Roman.

Yuck.

Very limited guy, even in his prime from what i remember.

36 turnovers in 13 seasons. not a barnburner, but consistent with a veteran presence to boot. i like the signing.

Agreed.

I have a real desire to draft Jamal Adams if he's sitting there for us and add him to this young secondary along with old vet Adams.

If he's gone, then draft the TE OJ Howard and automatically upgrade your offense.

    • If you're looking for a pat on the back it sounds good in theory until you realize they also had the 2023 Panthers as the top draft class.
    • Going into the 2003 and 2015 seasons we were supposed to be the joke of the league each time. In 2003, John Fox was supposed to still be in rebuild mode. We had a guy named Peppers on the defensive line who was supposed to be pretty good. We had Rodney Peete as our starting QB and a line that was a lot of hope and not much experience. Our new running back was a guy the Redskins, errrr Commanders, had jettisoned for being too old. We had a good kicker and writers thought that was needed because there were going to be more field goals than touch downs. Heck, it looked like they were right up until just before halftime of that first game when we had to yank Rodney Peete and put in some Cajun duded whose name couldn't be pronounced. And Steve Smith? He wasn't Smitty yet. Moose Muhammad, well, he was close to being written off as a bust. You know how that turned out. And then in 2015, we had Cam Newton, who was electrifying to watch but hadn't really won anything yet. There was an offensive line in front of him that looked like it was made in a defunct Swiss cheese factory and our big hope on offense was the great Kelvin Benjamin. And then he got taken out for the year with a knee injury in training camp. Ted "Feet of Lightning, Hands of Stone" Ginn became our default go to guy beside our next best hope, yeah, Devin Funchess. Our defense was pretty good, a scrappy bunch with frikkin' awesome linebacker play and a cornerback who had done more than drank the Kool-Aid, but had snorted the powder. He played like a superhero and became sort of a bat-man during the season. By the Super Bowl he had completely lost his freaking mind, though, and managed to talk his way out of a contract with the team next year. No one was expecting us to win the NFCSouth that season, much less almost go undefeated and into the Super Bowl. So, 2026? Who knows? But our best seasons came when no one had a reason to believe in us, except us.
    • it's not so much this personal vendetta against the Carolina Panthers as it is more about Bryce Young never not once been in the same conversation with the top 15 or even top 20 Qbs in the NFL ..just saying
