Free agent DT Gerald McCoy is visiting the #Panthers, beginning tomorrow night, source said. That will go into Friday, then he’ll presumably make a decision. It did sound like his visit to the #Ravens was excellent. So it’s #Ravens, #Browns or #Panthers.

3:58 PM - 29 May 2019

Let’s get it Hurn-dawg!!!!

I doubt he'd even be coming unless there had been at least some preliminary contract talks. We have to at least be in the ballpark.

He’s visited two teams and left and is clearly in no hurry to sign. He may leave us and visit other teams as well. I agree this means we’re in play over teams without visits so far like the Aints and Pats but him visiting here doesn’t mean we’re the favorites to sign him. May just be due diligence. May depend on how badly he wants to play the Bucs twice.

We need another 5 tech for our 3-4. If that is indeed where we are leaning.  Poe at NT and short is the one 5 tech.  I think Love is a good rotational guy.  But not sure about him starting there.  I think Butler is just trash but he may prove me wrong in a contract year.  

I still think either McCoy or Bailey will be signed.  Our team values the front 7 much more than FS. My gut tells me Bailey is the guy.  For the right price I wouldn’t rule out McCoy.  But I think we will be outbid by someone.

For some reason, everyone wants to plug Butler in as a DE in a 3-4, but IMO he's Poe's backup at NT. I too think he's pretty much trash, but I think he's better suited at the nose than he is at DE. I think we drafted him to be a three technique, but he just doesn't have the athleticism.

  I would seriously try to trade him to the Raiders for Karl Joseph. Both have little value and need a change of scenery. Even if he’s a backup, Joseph would at least provide an option at FS not named Jones.

I'd probably hang onto him and give him a look at NT first. I mean, if he's not the backup NT, then who is? I don't think Love can hold that spot down. I don't think Love really has a spot in a 3-4 look, I think he was re-signed as a situational player.

I just don’t think Butler has the “heart” to take on double-teams. No matter the scheme or situation. Maybe his light goes on with a contract ahead(maybe). To the point I’d rather just watch someone else suck.

I mean, if we could get something (like pretty much anything) for him, I wouldn't be at all opposed to trading him.

One of the things they highlighted about Butler when he was drafted was his motor. Maybe your right and he can show some of that as a NT. Him and Poe are of similar size at 6'4/6'3 330/346 lbs with Butler the former and Poe the latter.

our 2013 entire secondary were turds, but held it together for a top defense due to the insane pressure put on the QB

I know everyone is saying we don't need another DT, but consider we have no intention of extending Butler and if Poe is still dead weight this season he can be cut with some cap savings.  Then we are back to KK and McCoy.  We would only be heavy this season.

      I didn't want to pay him and they should have traded him before the 20+ million in dead cap. I feel this is another "blame tepper", he wanted a QB and Panthers only had 4 draft picks. CMC got a bad health report and missed games, but league still valued him and he was the best player on the team. Shitttttterererererererer traded him for 4 future picks, the future 2nd ended up being 61st........so all the other draft picks in 5th 4th were next to last, just a mistake. Yes 49ers at the time looked cook, but CMC helped them reach the SB. Used that 2nd and 3rd in the BY and DJ Johnson trades.....just awful returns. It was dirty to wilks to trade CMC while he was trying to make the playoffs, best I member the run game got better after the trade....   Im just one of those "never pay RB, safety, or MLBs" unless cheap/all world. CMC is not all world, but he's dang close.  Poorly handle, he bought a big home and thought he'd remain a career panther....Herniay made him the 16 million man, tops by 4 full million and no RB passed that mark for 2 years, God dam fug you herniay.  Im anti-RB, but about the last thing they should have done was trade a 1000 1000 threat that wanted to stay here, just total fumble by the Panthers/tepper/herniay/fittterererererererere per normal for this time-line.
