Very possible.

Barnidge has just finished 2 seasons where he caught 79 and 55 balls respectively.

He's also an unrestricted FA.

Signing Barnidge would be a helluva pickup.  Better than any late round rookie.

I would have taken a rookie especially with Salary Cap and upside but I will settle for Barnridge if it's possible

Dickson is bad because he offers nothing on the field as a receiver or blocker, he typically gets blown off the line of scrimmage allowing his defender to disrupt the play. At this point they will have to sign Barnindge or waiting for team cuts to find a TE, I don't want to take another Beau Sandland or sign a Scot Simonson.

For all we know, Barnidge may have already been contacted expressing interest in coming back....could've changed our mindset on TEs this draft.  We very well may have traded up for Butt or Leggett, etc...not as pressing of a need if we grab Barnidge on the open market. Use these picks to shore up other positions, no issue.

Barnidge only made $1.5M last year.

Whatever the vet minimum is this year, I'm betting we could get him for not much more than that.

I think a lot of people are also assuming that we're still going to run tons of double TE sets after this heavy investment in offensive weapons and OL. I'm not so sure that's the case.

Those small WR's are effective when you have solid power running game

I still don't think that should've changed our mindset. Barnidge is over 30 and we still could've added someone younger to groom. And how is Barnidge's blocking?

Barnidge was pretty much his whole job when he was with the Panthers before, right?

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
