A little bit of free agent related news this morning.

Former Panther Andrew Norwell took a pay cut to stay with the Jaguars. He won't be a free agent.

The Ravens agreed to terms with guard Kevin Zeitler who'd been released by the Giants.

Two guards---and what do I hope we get out of this free agency?  2 guards (and a CB).

Like jags were gonna cut norwell unless he took a paycut and they have the most cap space in the league.

His new deal still makes him a top 10 paid LG with the guaranteed money and as high as the #3 paid LG if he hits the escalators. He's good, they just paid him to be great on that initial contract.

Yeah I just looked up he was their best olineman last year but years before I remember reading their fans were really sour on him. He had some injuries and wasn’t playing well. My mistake.

You'd be sour on a newly acquired FA for being good when he was paid to be great too. So would I. Mike Wahle is a great Panthers comp.

      Panthers Select Xavier Legette with Pick 32

      By rayzor · Posted

      lol at the tears some are shedding. it's a great pick and an incredibly smart move to make ensuring that the guy you believe is going to be a strong WR for you is going to be around for 5 years on a rookie deal.  and we keep the same number of picks and only drop back a little with one of them.

      Same.  Stover, Sinnot, and Tip Reiman all intrigue me too.

      Live XL Presser

      I wasn't wild about the whole youth pastor energy of Canales at first, but man, there is no doubt he is a sharp guy, and he's already polished when it comes to handling media questions. Another thought I have when watching him is that it's evident that HE believes what he's saying, and that's what makes it easier for others to believe what he's saying. I'm finally starting to feel like he's close to the perfect guy to pair with Morgan to rebuild a young team with a weak culture that we've suffered through this last decade. I really like the different energies they both bring and feel it meshes well. I hope they don't break my heart, haha.  I'd have more of an issue with XL's one year of production if it came earlier in his college career and then he fell off. He made the most of his opportunities when his number was called, and did it in a pro-style offense, so I'm bullish on his potential to be great for us.  If they can go into rounds 2 & 3 and get a stud center and one of the defensive guys that fell during that run on offense last night, that will make my weekend.
