CAR.png4. Carolina Panthers

The Panthers went into free agency with needs at several positions -- tackle, center, safety and pass-rush -- and they were one of the few teams able to fill their needs with quality players without breaking the bank. The Panthers re-signed Eric Reid after watching him start 13 games for them last season. Carolina also filled a big hole at center by signing Matt Paradis away from the Broncos. The Panthers also got Daryl Williams and Bruce Irvin on low-risk one-year deals.  

Key players added/re-signed: EDGE Bruce Irvin,  S Eric Reid, C Matt Paradis, OT Daryl Williams

I have to say I don't have a problem. they've done really well aside from the torrey smith deal, which I guess they can still get out of and I hope they do because i'm not loving the idea of cam's fourth option getting that much money but whatever. hurney's done pretty well. some of the deals might come back to bite us in the butt down the road (more typical hurney structures), but I think it puts us in a good situation to win and I think the pressure to win this year is on in a big way.

it hasn't necessarily been good long term decisions in FA so far, but it helps us in the now. That's actually fine, though. build for the future through the draft. take care of more immediate needs in FA and if you can get them done on one year deals...good. that was one aspect that I liked from gettleman and i'm liking in hurney this time around.

I got to give Hurney his props.

Panthers sign DE/OLB Bruce Irvin (1 year, $4 million): A Grade 
The Panthers are moving to a 3-4, so they had to find some potent edge rushers to fit their scheme. Bruce Irvin has lots of experience in the 4-3, but when he was entering the NFL out of West Virginia, I believed that he would be a better fit in the 3-4. We'll finally get to see him in that formation in 2019. 

Irvin does everything well, but his best attribute is his pass-rushing ability. Despite his age (32 in November), Irvin continued to show off his quality edge-rushing skills late last year when he logged 3.5 sacks in the final four games with the Falcons. Irvin should be able to parlay that into a successful 2019 campaign. 

There is definitely some concern that Irvin will regress because of his age, but the Panthers aren't taking a risk with this 1-year "prove it" contract for only $4 million. They'll be getting Irvin's best effort, as he'll be trying to earn one last lucrative contract in his career.

On paper I’m happy.

What I want to see is free agency ratings based on after the fact. I wish all these grading media’s would put time into making those. Course, it’s take more effort.

Still, I wonder who would win these offseason Super Bowls based on results...after all it’s what matters.

You will be able to see that during the season. Right now it’s all anticipatory and estimation. Enjoy what you can while you can.

32. New York Giants

 

Giants general manager Dave Gettleman claims he has a plan for this team, but I'll be honest, I'm not exactly sure what that plan is supposed to be. Not only did the Giants trade away their best offensive player in Odell Beckham, but they also dealt away one of their best pass rushers (Olivier Vernon) while also letting their best safety leave in free agency (Landon Collins). The only way Gettleman's plan is working is if his plan was to get rid of all his best players. 

OH NOOOOOOOOOO

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
