For a team that couldn’t get the hell off the field on 3rd down this is a very good under the radar signing I wasn’t expecting. 

If we pull in a fs somehow this will be one of the better offseasons on paper 

Yeah, we were apparently after Weddle initially. If we had signed him, I would say this was our best free agency in recent memory. Can't blame him for choosing a Super Bowl contending team for his last couple of seasons.

Kinda glad we didn’t get weddle, I think we need more youth and speed at fs.

but on the second hand I also would have been hyped

I’m liking Hurney 2.0— operates more like Gettleman 1.0 with stingy contracts for 1 year prove it deals. We have mad money for 2020 and could make more available now if he wanted to,... but he’s leaving that alone for the big picture.

Nice— I liked what Bruce did for the Seahawks— we will see if he can help us.

I am all for the youth movement but it would be hard to beat getting a player of Weddle's caliber. The Mike Adams signing was great for us as a secondary initially(prior to him finally slowing down last season) so I would have been a huge fan of getting him. It gives us the ability to punt on that position or grab a guy in the later rounds as a developmental guy. 

We will need to get younger at all these positions eventually but it is really tough to do that in one offseason. Signing some stop gap players like Weddle or Irvin is a necessity.

Just keep an eye on that Cap level... we were close before and this isn't going to be a cheap signing.

We very well may see another cut coming because of this.

Still, I think it's a solid pick-up. The guy's a Panther now, let's hope he tears up the NFC South this coming season.

Added bonus is his experience against every team in the division. This is a smart signing on paper, but then again so was Poe - holding out hope.

Bruce Irvin, listed as LB/DE for Panthers, says he has a lot left in the tank and likes the fit in Carolina. "The scheme they are installing - that's what I am used to."

 

Marty Hurney, on adding Bruce Irvin (via team release): "Our primary focus coming into the offseason was to add talent to our offensive line and our front on defense, primarily in the area of rushing the passer... (1/2)

    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
