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.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
