Chances we don't spend in free agency this year

I know we all get excited over free agency, and I personally think we need to add some quality free agents, but I'm afraid we might not spend like most of us want this year.

Two reasons for this.

First of all we have several of our own free agents that we might not resign and therefore could get comp picks for, high comp picks at that.  For this to happen we would have to limit ourselves in free agency.  We really would need to concentrate on players cut by other teams.

Another reason is that the team is for sale.  If I'm not mistaken free agency starts in March.  Why would the current ownership write large checks before they sell the team.  Wouldn't that cut into their own profits?  I know you could guarantee salary and such and that would effect them but what about any signing bonuses that have to be paid?  If somebody can remember past examples of this with other teams feel free to remind us how it went down.

I always get my hopes up for at least one or two big free agent signings. This usually never happens. Watching Panthers free agency in the past is like watching grass grow. Slow and uneventful. I'm expecting more of the same. At least until the next free agency after a new owner and GM are in place.

No way of knowing without even knowing for sure who our GM and even ownership will be.

I don't like the idea of shooting yourself in the dick in the present to hopefully be rewarded with comp picks in the future. Make decisions focused on fielding the best football field that you can and let the comp picks fall where they may. Would I pass on the opportunity to add a legit veteran WR for the hope of a 3rd-5th round comp pick next year? Hell fuging no.

I'm not sure who our GM will be even matters.  I would guess on any big deal the owner has to ok some of the huge signing bonuses and your upper tier free agents are the types that get those contracts.

Free agency starts in March, I'm just afraid we are going to be a "lame duck" organization until a new owner is in place.

      Week 6 Shout Outs

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      -Rico is our early season MVP. Stud. -Bryce Young - best game as a pro. See the other threads, very happy with how he played. The first McMillan TD was a good example of what type of rhythm and feel we should see. -Cade Mays had an absolute mother of a game. Absolutely bullied the Cowboys interior. I am getting convinced he’s a potential answer at center. Want to keep seeing it. -Icky & Lewis road grading on the left was top tier today. They’re getting it done the past two weeks. -BC in our stretch zone looks. We finally started diversifying the run game. Looked like we had Brady moving quickly to the perimeter on stretches and tosses. He swung out and killed some Dallas secondary. -Trevin Wallace got himself in position and helped close a few Dallas possessions. Doesn’t go unnoticed. -Mitchell Evans - loving what I’m seeing -Jimmy Horn Jr making noise. He looks NFL quick, not just college quick. -Coaching staff - they’ve have questionable moments this season but this was a really nice, complete game they called. I probably missed some, feel free to chime in

      Just when we thought it was over

      I agree but also the teams we lost to are 10-6 combined. So I think we are middle of the pack a little lower. But atleast we are .500 percent. I think the difference is that we are stopping the run and running the ball and not turning it over all the time. So I believe there is some optimism due to Ricos play and that allows us to throw the ball. Big ups to the Oline though. They have done great.
