Word is we are going to be active in free agency.

That said it seems every time Hurney dives in early.  We over pay for a free agent.  (cue up Gettleman - Kalil comments)

I hope we get what we need but god knows I am terrified at what Hurney might do if he dives in Day 1.

 

When has Hurney ever overpaid for a free agen?

I’m not fearful of anything really cause even the Torrey Smith addition is already on the right track.. we’re better than we were yesterday at WR. We never overpay for skill positions so going against the grain there wouldn’t bother me for an AROB, PRICH, or MONCRIEF. We have other players we can cut if need be to keep our cap grounded. I would like to add a RB on the cheap too because we need a seasoned vet. Actually wouldn’t hate bringing in AP to run on goaline situations and up the gut... might be a nice fit for us while we groom a drafted RB in the 3rd/4th rnd.

Thanks for your service, sir.  I appreciate the fact that Panther chat may be a nice diversion for you and will not be critical  of anyone defending my right to post whatever the hell I want.  Having said that, We have about $19.7m left in the piggy bank.  We can restructure, cut, etc. if needed. There are literally thousands of options, but I am not sure that we go after any high enders.  I am looking for a G, a S, and maybe a DT.  I am expecting next week to be the time for us--not this week.

DeAngelo Williams, Jonathan Stewart, Jake Delhomme, Charles Johnson, Mike Wahle, Charles Godfrey, etc.  He is insecure, so he overpays players to stay here--validating his draft picks.  He has brought in a few where he paid too much, but he is insecure trusting his ability to gauge a good fit in the Panther system at the time so he is less likely to overpay for the unknown.  He is a fraud, to a large degree--like a member of Trump's cabinet.

Most of those were extensions. You might have a case with Charles Johnson, but he was our guy.

Mike Whale was a pro bowler here. We reached the NFC Championship game that season.

Hurney hasn't "gone headfirst" in FA since 2005, when they got Ken Lucas and Mike Wahle. Ma'ake Kemoeatu was 2006's big signing.

All good signings.

Wouldn’t call those signings going headfirst.

If signing some of the biggest FA names at their respective positions in the first day or two isn't going in headfirst then I'd be interested in your definition.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.

      I'm excited. I love situations like this when you could potentially find a diamond in the rough on the cheap. And you know guys like this are gonna put in the work and desire way more than others to be great.
