DT Gerald McCoy Will Visit The Panthers This Week

@LinvilleGorge plus, if you need your FS to be a super hero, you have some serious issues with your defense.

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 think it would be a mistake though to view McCoy as a long-term solution since he's 31. Short is also 30. Love is 32. 

I think we're going to be looking at DL early in the draft again next year.

I wonder if this cryptic tweet has something to do with McCoy visit.  Maybe asked to restructure or get cut? That 5 mil would go along way to getting McCoy. And at least McCoy would see the field.

I'm not saying that we need a prime Earl Thomas back there, but at the same time, prime Earl Thomas is what allowed the rest of that Legion of Boom secondary to do what they did.

A front loaded 3-year deal with a club option 4th may be good enough to entice him to come to Carolina.  That's so the club can cut their losses after year two and come out better versus the cap if need be.

FS is like a safety net at the circus. 

 

if you have to keep relying on the saftey net to keep performers from getting hurt, that circus probably sucks

Don’t underestimate the importance of Ron Rivera on that meeting. He’s met with an offensive coach in Kitchens in Cleveland and a former special teams coach in Harbaugh with the Ravens. Rivera should hold some clout in that meeting.

McCoy knows the Panthers better than any other team. He knows if Cam is healthy then we are a force. Otherwise he is putting his fate in the hands of two second year quarterbacks in Cleveland and the Ravens. He wants to know about the defense and how he will fit. He might think having Rivera coach him is a plus. I think that Baltimore as a defense is more exciting for a D linemen especially with his old line coach in Tampa now with the Ravens. But we have the best chance to make the playoffs. Plus we are the only warm weather team. The money will be close but the years might not be nor the guaranteed amount.

If him came,it will be a real 3-4,not a hybird,then we will cut more DL,even LB,like Haynes/Obada/Cox/Andre Smith/Carter,just a little waste.

I would, hypothetically, see McCoy as a mid term solution.  Even if he was here just 2-3 years, that would be fine.  It would branch us from the time period of Butler/Poe leaving next year, and whoever we would hypothetically draft next year.

If we have the luxury of cutting a fringe player for a solid (former) all-pro with gas left in the tank, I think that's a good thing and not a waste.
