REPORT: Panthers interested in Gerald McCoy

[TheSpecialJuan]

Free agent DT Gerald McCoy has told interested teams he will visit the #Browns first, sources tell me and @RapSheet. Visit to happen in the next day. Among the other interested teams in the former #Buccaneers lineman are the #Panthers and #Bengals.

So we just have to hope he gets out of Cleveland without a contract. I can get excited about McCoy, KK and Poe in a 30 front.

Kinda brutal with what we’re paying KK and Poe

[TheSpecialJuan]

Probably the reason we haven't signed Brian Burns and Greg Little. Having that cap space in case someone like McCoy became available. 

[OneBadCat]

Damn that would be a stacked d-line.

ew, ew, can I be the first to ask if he can play safety this time?

Do we need another safety if the qb can't get the ball off?

Cut Torrey Smith, sign McCoy- profit

[PurityControl]

Make it happen. 

A Crushing D-line can mask any deficiencies in the secondary.

And you don't get wins by having Cap Space.

 

Make it happen

We do have pieces we can move to make room for his salary. The question is, are we willing to? I assume anything we would be looking at would be on a one year deal. If we are looking at him on a multi-year deal, it would make me wonder about either Poe or KK's future here beyond this season. 

I would love to add him but we will be riding the line on that salary cap, another pretty negative aspect of Hurney 1.0. 

Still think he is able to get a bigger contract with a cap rich team.

If he comes here, expect a restructure and Smith being cut.

Yeah, we do have a lot of options. Extend Shaq, jettison Smith, etc. 

I just don't want us to mortgage the future and end up in cap hell again.
