What are the chances we make a splashy FA signing?

We have like $35mil before any potential cuts like Poe or Short. I don’t see us getting rid of Short but we could free up another what, $12mil cutting Poe?  I could see us getting one semi splashy or maybe splashy FA. Dunno if that’s how Rhule operates though. I could see us possibly going after Clowney (splashy) or JPP (semi splashy).  There’s a number of mid tier MLBs available too. Schobert, Ogletree, Bradham (I think). I definitely see us signing one of those (or an equivalent).

This.

I can see 2-3 solid mid-tier signings for guys that are still in or a bit before their prime. 

Blake Martinez (26 y/o) ILB from GB could be an interesting one if he doesn't re-sign.

Don't want to over invest in the secondary but Karl Joseph could be super intriguing to help out the unit.

Clowney would be nice but no way we can outbid other teams.

I would like to go after Trent Williams and solidify out LT spot.

Those splashy FA picks really worked out for us last year... How about we take a hard pass?

Just because you dont win the lottery does that mean you stop playing? Sometimes you win some times you lose, just because it didn't work out doesn't mean it cant. Free agents can be busts just like draft picks. Thing is you need both to supplement and have a good football team.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
