Im not one to make a page about any free agent, but it seems more likely than ever that Anquan Boldin could be an option. He is tough, reliable, and productive. And we have made no secret about looking for a slot receiver. He has recently stated that he wants to play another year. Do you think Getts will/should go after him?

We love to have Walter Payton Men of the Year on our roster....  Peanut Tillman was such an amazing fit with our team and such a HUGE ASSET even for only 1 season.

So, I could possibly see it.  Dave seems to be in the mood to acquire proven vets this season.  Who knows!

And now for your annual Anquan Boldin free agency thread 

The difference being that in past seasons we wanted "to give the young guys a shot," and this year we are shamelessly putting veterans into position to play a ton of snaps ahead of other guys.

Yeah that's happening because of poor drafting.

Can't see it happeneing...

KB/Funch/Johnson/Shepard/Byrd/Bersin 

Are essentially the top 6, and I'm not saying 2 of the bottom three couldn't be cut, but when you rationalize we're drafting at least one receiver maybe two, I don't think there's room for another slow receiver. 

If anything it's Cruz if we go the veteran receiver route. Byrd at least still has PS eligibility, and Bersin seems to live there. So there's still a lot that could change there...

with all the other veteran signings, it wouldn't be too far fetched. 

also, I think DG realizes the window to win a SB is wide open now, so veterans who can come in and contribute immediately is what he's looking for 

We all know that Dave has said he doesn't believe in Super Bowl windows, and yet he's proving otherwise with his actions in free agency this year.  Kind of like trying to do a Denver part 2.  Lose, restock with great talent and win 2 years later...

I kind of wonder if Dave has suddenly thought of SB windows in a new way.  It might not be about any kind of window in terms of overall team talent and potential, but in terms of JERRY RICHARDSON, and some of our best most amazingly loyal team veterans (TD, CJ, Greg...) the clock IS ticking and the window is closing.  So, maybe he now acknowledges a window in this sense.  

It's exciting to do something different.  Hoping it proves the magic formula for 2017!

      Jamaree Salyer would be an excellent signing. I hope we are looking at him.

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      By djp14 · Posted

      The Panthers are Pickett's 5th team in 5 years. Howell's next team will be his 5th. I don't think the league thinks that much of either of them. They're just warm bodies, at this point.

      10 players I wouldn't mind the Panthers signing that are still available:  - CB Nate Hobbs (Packers): Was just released this morning. Could be a very solid nickel upgrade for us.  - CB Kader Kohou (Dolphins): Solid slot corner who shouldn't break the bank and could be an upgrade over Chau Smith-Wade.  - OT Jamaree Salyer (Chargers): Had an underrated year with the Chargers (68.2 PFF pass block grade, 61.5 run block grade) and is still young enough (25) to continue developing.  - OT Jawaan Taylor (Chiefs): Depending on price, could be a good short-term option at LT while we figure things out long-term.  - WR Jauan Jennings (49ers): If we're going to add a FA receiver, I think Jennings makes a lot of sense but the price may be a bit too high for a slot receiver.  - WR John Metchie III (Jets): A cheaper option at slot receiver who has experience playing with Bryce at Alabama. Low risk/high reward type signing.  - WR Calvin Austin III (Steelers): Likely an "in between" option relative to Jennings and Metchie, but another solid option in the slot.  - LB Leo Chenal (Chiefs): I think we'll target another starting ILB in the draft, but we could also opt to pair Chenal with Devin Lloyd and check that need off the list early.  - OC Matt Hennessy (49ers): Could be a decent stop-gap starter at center and solid depth if nothing else.  - OC Andre James (Chargers): Was a backup last year for the Chargers (for some reason; he couldn't have been worse than what they had starting) but was solid for the Raiders the year before.
