Bill Voth Says Panthers Likely Will Make Serious Push For Top WRs On FA Market

i'm glad someone understands that. those are three development players with a veteran. We don't need another damn developmental receiver.

Agreed. We're too young in that department and we don't have the time to have one develop into something special. We have nothing but potential in the WR room. We need more than potential, we need actual results with a proven history.

I don't think we're going to break the bank, or get into a bidding war for any of the WRs that are available...but if, say Watkins wants to come home, we are actually in the market and are willing to spend to get it done.

Mike Wallace would be a great addition for us, also seems like the kind of guy who would love Cam's swag.  Watkins would be great, but I have a feeling he's gonna seek a big time payday that we can't afford.  Robinson would be great, but again, the question is the value vs how much we're gonna have to pay.  I think Wallace knows his time is shorter in the NFL these days, and just wants a good situation for him.

IMO, I'd love for us to sign Wallace and Pryor, then let them duke it out to make the roster with a rookie.  I think both of those guys could get incentive laiden contracts that would be easily voidable should they not make the roster, they both seem like guys who would bet heavily on themselves.

Watkins (24) has all the makings of a top wideout in this offense

Maybe so.  But he hasn’t shown it on the field and hasn’t proven he can stay healthy for long periods of time.  I just hate tying up that much of our cap on a guy like that.

Agree and I believe this is exactly what will happen. 

Man I hope so.  Matthews had good speed as well.  He ran a 4.46 and runs great routes.  His numbers speak for themself.  I’d love to have him here.

Uh in his career he’s only had one season where he didn’t play at least 13 games.

    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre. 
    • Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
