REPORT: Panthers interested in Gerald McCoy

[firefox1234]

Looks to me he is definitely keeping his options open to play for a competitive team, I just don’t know if he will like us enough to maybe take less than what he would get on top of us having creating room for him....

On nfl.com they are saying we have 9 mil in cap space.  Wonder if thats before or after june 1st cuts.  Regardless 9 mil gets us close.

I like McCoy and he fills a need but if the asking price is $11 million per year, seems like we're priced out of this bidding war. Plus we'd be paying for his post-prime years.

                       LDE - Kawann Short    NT- Dontari Poe     RDE- Gerald McCoy

 

OLB- Bruce Irvin     MLB- Shaq Thompson     MLB- Luke Kuechly      OLB- Mario Addison

We could fit him under the cap at $11M by releasing Torrey Smith, but that would also leave virtually no money for anything else *cough*FS*cough*

He says he wants to play for a contender, but sometimes that means having to take less money. Don't see how Cleveland and Baltimore are more of a contender than us. We'll see if he really wants to play for a contender or is just chasing money.

I could get excited about that

tbh i think we would be better off with a great front 7 and gauldin at fs.

Is there a FS in the market who could have as much of an impact as McCoy would on our Dline?

[GoobyPls]

Can he play FS?

That depends on just how bad we're going to be at FS. Unless Gaulden has improved by leaps and bounds, I'm afraid we're going to be really bad and we'll double down on the badness by playing Reid out of position a lot.

This site shows our cap space is a little over 9.8 mil.  On June 2nd we will get an additional 7 mil from cutting Matt Kalil so we will have almost 17 mil in cap space and have more than enough to get Mccoy at 11 mil and also get another safety.

If several teams are interested then there will be a bidding war so getting him cheap is highly unlikely. We have a more of a contender look than the Browns though that’s for damn sure.
