I think a UDFA means, wasn't drafted and then we picked him up.  

Mills was a UDFA only to the Browns.  Jake to the Saints.

Mills was just a FA signing for us.  Same with Jake.   We were signing professional football players w/ a track record in the league. 

Yeah that is true. The point was the OP didn't clarify which the point of my post.

Hoover is underrated according to whom? He is far and away one of the more popular players from the early years and one that is constantly mentioned when discussing iconic Panther's players. 

And Norwell will not be.  Good point.

Matt Moore is another name to add. (depends on the requirements) He's had a long career.  

Jordan Carstens aka the pig farmer was good for a couple of seasons

Nate Newton was here for a cup of coffee.

Mike Tolbert was good for a few.

Cj anderson that didn't get used was a one.

Wes Horton gave this team 6 years at a bargain salary.

Tyler Larsen is a good backup.

Norewell gets my vote, hope he comes back.

Wes Horton? Bargain? I believe he is valued correctly and paid according to the value he adds to the team. Is he great? Not even close. But he's serviceable and he's paid as such.

He was paid at a minimum salary and for a good part played around 40% snaps(along with starting). Some minimum guys never get a gameday jersey and never last over 2 two years. If you get snaps, starts, with multiple years that's a valuable asset.

technically not a UDFA.  Played w/ the Saints first.  

UDFA implies I think you were draft eligible and not one drafted you, then a team picked you up.   Jake was a UDFA just not by us.  He signed him w/ a professional career under his belt. 

If they had to be UDFA rookies with us then I might would put Hoover or Philly Brown.

yes out there I said Phili Brown,.. not because of longevity with us... it’s because he’s one of the few that didn’t spazzzzzzzzz out in the Super Bowl and made it a close game. That gets at least 4 years worth of brownies for me!

      Meh… I wish there was a network that has all sports.  This thing will fail.

      If you could add one player from any team in the NFL to the 2025 Panthers to make them Super Bowl contenders, who would it be?

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      Neither Barkley nor even a healthy CMC would move the needle much for us. Those are guys that impact teams that already have impressive overall offenses and defenses, so they can perform the complimentary roles that make them actually valuable. We should know that specifically because CMC almost never moved the needle on bad Panthers team after bad Panthers team. Ask Giants fans about that with Saquon.

      I would generally disagree. You see a lot more load management than previously but that is because being healthy in the playoffs is such a key factor. Different philosophies in that regard than previous generations.  Baseball really doesn't matter until at least halfway through the season. I am not gonna say they don't play hard but the physical demands are infinitesimal in the MLB in comparison to basically any other major pro sport.  People dislike all the shooting these days but that's a direct correlation with how much the overall skill level of the average NBA player has drastically risen over the past 15ish years. There are other aggravating factors, certainly, but that is the biggest one in terms of playing style differences. So many of the guys from the 80's and 90's wouldn't even be able to play in the modern NBA at all. The biggest problem the NBA has with the American market(they are the only US sport that has any real international appeal or interest, minus the NHL) is that they are so steadily corrupt and fix the systems against the small market teams. Well, you eventually lose a big chunk of the league viewership/potential viewership in the process. Take the very obviously fixed NBA draft lotteries. Superstar and upper tier star players rarely want to play for small market teams, nor can they usually afford to pay them. So how do you expect them to possibly compete in that environment?
