New Panthers running back C.J. Anderson was on the winning side with Denver in Super Bowl 50 against Carolina. He called the Panthers a championship-caliber team. He's already had a conversation with quarterback Cam Newton. “I saw him in the lunch room earlier today. We didn't even talk about football. Me and Cam coached against each other late March, his 7-on-7 team and my 7-on-7 team. I'm excited to see how he prepares and works.''

panthersb_logo.gif Panthers sign RB C.J. Anderson (1 year): A Grade 
Contract details aren't yet known for this signing, which isn't a surprise because the numbers are slow to trickle out in the late spring and summer. For the sake of this grade, I'm going to assume that C.J. Anderson received $3-$5 million. If it's drastically different, I'll re-adjust. 

Anderson was the best-available running back on the market. The Panthers needed to bring in a runner to handle the early-down workload to complement Christian McCaffrey, and Anderson was the top option. Anderson rushed for 4.1 yards per carry (1,007 yards) last year despite running behind a mediocre Denver offensive line. Carolina's front is better, so Anderson should have success in his new home. 

I love this move, so I'm grading it an "A." In addition to providing McCaffrey with a complement, the Panthers are also giving themselves insurance if McCaffrey were to get hurt.

      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.

      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.
