Carolina Really Doesn't Have to Re-sign any free agents

I know everyone has their favorites, but looking over the list of Carolina's unrestricted and restricted free agents, I'm just not seeing any one player that we can't live without. Add in the two team option guys of Poe and Wright (already taken care of) and I'm still saying nope. Eighteen guys and no one we can't live without.

What say you? Is there anyone that if we don't re-sign, then we're sunk? Is there anyone there who is guaranteed to be worth the money?

I just keep looking at the list and seeing some very overpaid guys on the wrong end of the age scale, some role players and guys that are okay at best. Bradberry is the only standout of the bunch and I think we can check him off because some team out there in the league is going to be very, very willing to overpay for him. Hate to see him go, but his play ceiling is lower than his pay ceiling.

Heck, I was a fan of Greg van Roten this year if, because if nothing else, he was a good pulling guard and seemed to be trying harder than Trai Turner was at the other guard postion. Still, I'm not sure we can't find better for less than it's going to cost us to sign him as a starting RG. And I don't know what his long term is.

Even with the loss of Olsen to Seattle and Kuechly to retirement, there's just nothing making me think any of these guys really need to stay.

Convince me otherwise.

I agree. There is no one worth bringing back. I think that was one of the biggest mistakes the team did after the 2010-2011 season when they finished 2-14. They decided to sign Jonathan Stewart, DeAngelo Williams, Charles Johnson, etc. to longterm deals that crippled the cap for years. We finished 1-15 to end the second half of the season for 2018 and 2019. I am comfortable with not bringing back any of the UFA.

UNRESTRICTED FREE AGENTS

But you're right, most of these guys stink.

You guys are right...there’s really no one on this list worthy bringing back. We need to avoid a repeat of 2010-11 as OP stated.

Prediction: Panthers will re-sign the following 

Greg Van Roten, Ross Cockrell, Tre Boston 

i'm fine with this honestly. If Cockrell starts this year, could work out. We kinda need Boston versus what's out there currently

I'd be cool with GVR, Cockrell, Elliott and McGee. All only if can be had for cheap.  Boston if cheap too, but I think he's tired of these temporary deals.

      Seattle was a run heavy team

      By Navy_football · Posted

      No it isn't. 😅😅😅 If someone says he can't throw X many yards because he didn't do it last year, but he threw it X plus 10 yards in college, that shows he can. He may not have done it in Carolina, but that doesn't mean he can't do it. There is a real possibility that there were extenuating circumstances. These definitive but inaccurate statements are also known as hot takes or gross exaggerations.

      Mingo stat. Lost yards on uncatchable balls

      By Wundrbread33 · Posted

      Thanks for posting this. I don’t know how many of you guys also visit the Reddit panther sub, but damn Mingo catches so much poo in there, and Bryce gets every excuse.    Seems like inconsistent logic to me that Bryce gets a pass for the team dysfunction, but Mingo is just a bust.   I saw inconsistent tape from Mingo, but he had plenty of examples of good route running…showing me he can do it.   He was a rookie, and naturally was inconsistent with it. I don’t think we are dealing with Dwayne Jarrett here. I look forward to seeing him develop more consistency…and I hope Bryce can get him the ball if he does.

      my thing is, we have seen lots of good QBs play behind really bad OLs at times.  And yes, bad OLs impact everything.  But those good QBs, still have lots of moments showing how good they are behind bad OLs.  And frankly, a bad OL has never made any of them what we were last year.   Heck, many of them go to the playoffs with bad OL play.   That's my Bryce issue.  He didn't have really any moments that a #1 overall pick should of had.  Bad OL play included.     But I concede, Bryce was setup to fail.  And fail he did.  But if he was special, I still think that still has it's moments no matter what.
