...doesn’t necessarily go through Pittsburgh or NE.  While those teams have experienced mgmt coming available at seasons end, another has a HOFer who could come in tomorrow.  This person has led his team to the second best record in the last 20 years next to NE and without Brady.  His name.....Ozzie Newsome.  He’s still only 61 but was pushed aside by an assistant that the Ravens didn’t want to lose .  He apparently is still on the payroll without a title but I could not imagine them holding him back if he wanted to leave.  He has thought outside the box for decades with compensatory picks, hiring a ST coach with no OC experience, and last year trading back into the first round to take a QB that everyone else wanted to change positions.  Even if you could only get him as a consultant, keeping him through the hiring process and evaluation of Cam could set the Panthers on the right path for years. A call could sure do no harm.

For which job? Coach or Asst GM?

He retired from Baltimore and hasn't sought other jobs it seems. Why would he leave Baltimore and come south?  Weather? City? Tepper.?

I agree right now the Ravens look like a team to emulate. John Harbaugh honestly seems like the perfect mix of old school and analytics that Tepper is looking for. If we can get some Ravens influence in here that would be great.

      BREAKING!!! Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      It’ll be interesting to see how the board falls I completely agree with you on TE for us The safety from Oregon would be the cherry on top for Evero’s defense/scheme.  If a OL’men is there that you love it would be very hard to pass up. This fan base seems to just see Walker as a stop gap but I wouldn’t be so sure. He’s the same age as Ekwonu. He’s had a much more impressive career arc/progression than Icky has. He’s the better pass protector. As far as I see it if Walker has a good year I’d bring him back over Icky. Ekwonu isn’t some elite franchise LT. Playing next to Lewis is going to be great for Walker much like it has been for Icky. We definitely need to get younger/cheaper on the OL though so for this reason alone it’s still top of my list come round 1 if board falls this way  Could also use another corner with Mike Jackson’s deal up after this season and needing a nickel but Corey Thornton looked really good in that role in the limited time we got to see him. However he’s coming off an achillies injury and you never know with those.  Then as mentioned above we do still have a need at WR. As far as “weapons” go it’s kind of a 2 man show with Tmac and Coker and neither is a burner. If Jordan Tyson is there at 19 and we can have a young WR group locked up for cheap that’s a huge advantage cap wise  And don’t forget linebacker. That clip in Devin’s Lloyd blueprint they used from Evero saying they need more intelligence there could’ve been left out for Wallace’s sake but it’s true. Wallace is lost in coverage. Pair a smart linebacker with Lloyd and that’s a group with Wallace and Cherelus being depth

      What a Possible Trading Out of 1st Round May* Look Like

      The fact that this is even a discussion is a testament of the level of front office badassery that's going on.

      Not always. LT was for the Giants. So was Ray Lewis. Von Miller was moreso than Manning his final year in the season that shall not be named. It's usually the QB, but not always.
