Supported by the Chargers' Athletic beat writer. 

Finally, a CB worth our time that would be an exciting addition. 25-years old, $2.5M in 2020, FA in '21.

Some LAC fans would be elated with a 3rd rounder for him. There's also folks linking the Chargers moving up to #3 and the Lions needing a CB since trading away Slay.

Get on it Hurney....send that email back over to LA and make this happen!!

We can still add a quality CB and edge rusher after the draft. Someone like prince amukumara or Everson Griffen who is holding out for a big contract. Even players like Kirkpatrick and Clowney would be good stop gaps till next year. No reason to trade away picks this year.

Read up a little on him. If I'm being honest, he sounds like their version of Donte Jackson.

Interesting. Thought more highly of him than DJax, but I would entrust Charger media and fans more than me having a draft crush on him a few years back. 
 

Still think with his age maybe a change of scenery turns it around for him. He certainly has the tools

I just wish I knew more about Rhule and Snow in terms of what they value in CBs. I don't even know if they plan to run a primarily man or primarily zone based secondary scheme.

Without a hint of understanding on what they want out of their CBs, it's really tough to make a call on any CB, either in the draft or in free agency.

To tell the truth, based on what I've read, it sounds like he started off showing loads of promise then seriously fell off. One piece I read said they were thinking of moving him to free safety.

I won't claim to have watched him, but it sounds like the same story as Jackson, potentially worse.

That’s not necessarily a good thing either. You have to be coachable otherwise you end of up with a whole lot of talent and nothing to show for it.

That's kinda where I'm going.

And if I'm being honest, I'm not entirely comfortable with Donte Jackson being our number one corner this year.

Two Donte Jacksons? Oy...

I’ve been preaching for quite some time that he would make sense for trade bait if you’re looking for a semi fresh start with the franchise. Do you really want him being one of the few “vets” left?

He didn't seem receptive to coaching under Rivera and his assistants.

Will it be different with Matt Rhule, Phil Snow and Evan Cooper? No idea.

You’d have to think for as much of a “players coach” Rivera is that maybe if it didn’t work under his leadership then who could make it work?

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
