 Cuts:

Captain

Torrey Smith

Kalil (post june 1)

Crockell

Searcy

 

 

Extend:

Mario Addison (1 year left on his contract, extending him a year or 2 can help open cap space)

 

Resign:

Kyle Love

Daryl Williams- drafting a OT early can be a big hit or a big miss.  When you have a stud OL who already has Chemistry with the current OL, you try to keep him if possible.    Signing Williams for 4 years at 8 mil is reasonable and possible. Rivera has talked how important improving the OL is this offseason.  And locking up a proven OT, who is one of your own in the top priority this offseason.

 

FA: 

 

Tre Boston- Boston is familiar with Rivera and his coaching tree.  After being cut and bounced around a bit.  Carolina feels he's matured enough and wants him back.

Josh Norman- Norman is coming off a Bad year, where at ome point was even benched vs the Saints.  He is looking to be a cap casualty for the Skins.  At his age and coming off the year he had, he isnt going to get anything big.  With the connections here, and how close he is with Rivera and Hurney an 1 year 5 mil is easily possible.  The way the NFL is, you need multiple good CBs.  

 

 

 

Panthers are now Walking the line with cap space and expect a few resturings to get a few other tied up.

 

 

 

Draft

1st: Montez Sweat-  Strong Edge rushing class with Edge rusher as a major Weakness.  Sweat can play standing up or hands in the dirt so wluod fit the hybrid.

2nd: Garrett Bradbury- when your franchise all-pro Center for over the last decade retires, you have to replace him.  Bradbury is the top Center in the draft with a Very high ceiling.  Oh and he is a local Charlotte kid.

3rd: Michael Deiter- the OL took a HUGE step back with the loss of Norwell.  Deiter is a huge upgrade to last year at LG.

3rd comp:  Elijah Holyfield- Panthers need to find that compliment RB, and big bruiser.  We didnt take advantage of CJ this past year.  But watching the Rams and Gurley in the playoffs/Super bowl this year, makes them look Hard for a RB2.  Gurley carried the workload much like CMC did this year.

4th: Jordan Ta'amu- all the tools ti be a solid QB, reminds me of Dak Prescott coming out

5th: Mark Fields Jr

6th: Jalen Hurd- Great athlete, project WR

To play devil's advocate what role does Josh Norman fill here? Are you going to take snaps away from Donte or Bradberry? Try to move Jackson to slot (a move I personally wouldn't agree with)? Perhaps play Norman at free safety?

Competition 

Bradberry is still pretty inconsistent.   With the NFL playing more Nickel D, its good to have 3 good CBs.

Play Jackson and either Bradberry/Norman then move Jackson to Nickel when situation arrives.  Heck or even move Norman to Nickel, still better than many Nickels.  You dont have to be the steriotypical short quick guy to play there.

AJ Green linedup alot in the slot vs us before he got hurt.  Michael Thomas moves around, etc

Dieter is interesting because he can play across the line in multiple positions. He would be a handy utility player in our OL.

I mostly like your cuts, but I want to see if Cockrell is any good as nickel. Like kspan having done better than I expected on the outside I prefer him to stay there. Cockrell can’t be worse than captain and would be cheaper.

I wonder if they will add another receiver to replace Funchess through the draft or FA. Both Jamison Crowder and Devante Parker would be interesting adds there.

Cockrell was only known as a solid Zone boundary guy.  Plus with him coming off a injury

Id only see him as a backup to Bradberry.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
