Riot Report: A Realistic Panthers Free Agency Wish List

There must be a hush hush order from the front office or we aren't looking at any free agents.  Many teams have said they are interested in a certain player in free agency but I have not heard one word out of our front office on who they will be targeting.

The new year starts today so I guess we'll see.   Tepper said we would be aggressive in the FA market.  Hopefully, it wasn't just a line.

Since 1995 I've never heard them leak who they are interested in.  There is no reason to do that.

I'd be willing to trade like a 5th or 6th for Quinn. We need a starting caliber end and there aren't that many options out there. Don't want to have to rely on a draft pick to start on day one.

Verrett would be interesting if he comes super cheap given his injury history.

Everything else on this list is a joke / Weddle already signed with the Rams.

Boy some of you are just negative. 

There are some interesting names on the list. Of course when you're shopping in the bargain bin, you're not necessarily going to get the current, high-priced name brand items, but you can find something old, incomplete, damaged, or even broken (but fixable) that may work for your specific situation. 

Quinn and Verrett are especially interesting. Hell, a healthy Eifert should offer plenty of excitement for any team and fan base. Morris would be kind of a meh signing on it's face, but he'd check a block for at least depth.

Weddle? Would have loved to have him, but let's not act like there might not be better values out there, as Weddle is 34. He doesn't exactly check the box for a team that's trying to get younger and faster on defense, and due to his body of work over the years, most certainly comes at a higher price.

if this team does not add serious players at Edge and S then the Carolina panthers will not be winning the super bowl this season

return to your annual March obsession with cost, your dated opinions on the cap and roster construction, and laugh at the pats, rams, and saints for "overpaying" legitimate  players once again.

If the panthers don't choke down the Hard To Swallow pill on what it takes to win in the current NFL and sign starting caliber players in free agency, then those same teams will be laughing at us come February

It isn't enough to just add one 1st rounder anymore 

Wel said sir, Well said.

You need to look at the 2018 free agent acquisitions of the team who just won the Super Bowl before saying a team must be sign multiple high profile free agents to win in the NFL

They went out and got the most gifted receiver in the world - Josh Gordon!

The Huddle - I can't believe we keep signing old safeties.  Its so stupid.  We need to get younger.

Also The Huddle - I can't believe we didn't make a run for Weddle and lock him in for a few years.

Hurney - Let's reach on Gaulden and not do our job effectively.

I've been saying that Alfred Morris would be solid if we don't get a young hammerhead in the later rounds :3

Though maybe we can sign Morris and then draft Bryce Love as a true back-up to CMC or whatever other runner the staff has their eye on

The team who just won the super bowl is the absolute pinnacle of what I'm talking about. The patriots have been at the forefront using free agency and trades to add major talent and win super bowls. Stephen Gilmore was the best CB in the league last season and just won super bowl MVP (okay so not literally in the case of the latter). That was the worst possible example you couldve cited and trying to coyly condense their modus operandi into one offseason suggests you know that.

if we got all five of those dudes that would be fantastic. Doubt it happens. Also would like a guard.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
