Main thing I would say is that these moves basically reek of our free agency from last year. High end backup/cheap starter level deals on players a bit below that grade. Recall Schofield, Burris, Whitehead, Weatherly. It's super early of course but between that and restructuring a bunch of contracts, if you didn't know Hurney got fired, could you even tell? I'm all for finding bargains in free agency but we're basically paying these guys to show us more than they have so far and to come across as a successful offseason, several of them will have to. I hope they do.

Yikes. I mean, I hope you prove to be wrong but on the surface... you ain't wrong.

If I were gm I would've just resigned our guards from last year to bargain bin deals , splurged on a LT and drafted a couple oline in rounds 1-4.  

Makes no sense to spend on injury prone castoffs and it will keep the oline turnstile turning .

B-I-N-G-O!  We have a winner!

we needed bodies, we got bodies that I would assume wouldn't be too hard to move on from... coaching got decent returns from what a lot of us thought were scrubs. I'm still hopeful. Plus, both are versatile which is always a plus

Can't imagine being this upset over someone else spending money lol

Idek why we even participate in free agency anymore . We always make the wrong moves or don’t have enough money . And when we do have enough we signed scrubs we all knew were scrubs . GM looking shaky to me already . Draft day please come soon

Yep. People keep saying backup money. $4.5M and $5M per year is starter money. That’s 65th-73rd in OL salary. Well, there are 160 starting OL so these guys aren’t backups, they are being paid like average starters. People look at the top salaries and see these as cheap. They are way less than $20M a year buy these are starter salaries so they better be good. They haven’t been healthy or good so I don’t know why we are jumping on them early.

It does smack of Weatherly, Apple, Roberts, Short and Okung. I really hope it works out but I recall bothe being disappointments. At least it’s not Matt Kalil money but it’s that level of player and just a hope they can do better.

That’s Matt Kalil level play.

It's no were close to that BS Matt Kalil money.

I haven’t seen anybody upset kev. We’re just stating our opinions. We overpaid for oft-injured mediocrity. Signings add up on the cap.

Look at the contract structures attempt to inform yourself.. You probably think Taysom Hill just got 35m a year.

These are backups who aren't gonna impede us drafting better, younger guys, the opinions adding up their contracts are kinda farcical bc they're both cheap and not a hindrance to signing anyone else important Also the injury labels for these depth guys seem a little overstated? They didn't blow out or tear anything major, these are things guys recover from all the time. I'm just having fun with the overanalysis of guys who probably won't be here past next year

That you don’t understand how this affects the Panthers as a team make it easy to see why you can’t “imagine” people being upset with the FO continuously blowing cap space. 
 

   Sticking your head in the sand and just hoping everything works out is definitely the rational thing to do.
