We've signed a lot of "camp bodies" in past years, is this really that different? 

I would say yes at this point. It looks like we've signed at least 4 starters for cheap next season and maybe a 5th depending on camp. (keep your eyes on Fox), not to mention the OL may start at the beginning of the season by default. (don't give up on this staff's ability to find skills that match the system). 

I personally cannot remember a more strategically precise FA in the last 20 years. Every signing has a reason and a purpose. Will they all pan out? History says no but I like the chances on most of these guys and they are all (except 1) YOUNG!

I think it was 2006.  But we signed Mike Wahl, Keshawn, Ken Lucas, Kemo and I might be missing someone.  We were coming off the NFC Championship loss to Seattle and Jake really had no one to throw the ball to but Steve the year before.  I think that was the year that Wharton started at LT and Gross at RT.  But that was the most big names and active I ever remember us being.  This year we are active, just a lot of WTF is that guy.  

Wahle, Ken, and Kemo all signed prior to 2005. Keyshawn was a knee-jerk acquisition for 2006 following Colbert dropping off a cliff at the end of 2005. That 2005 free agency period though was definitely one of Carolina's most active, especially in terms of big-name signings.

My memory is getting bad.

I would have to dig back further than I care to but relatively speaking it's been comparable to Nipple Shorts first off-season in that there has been some roster churn.  Most was expected, at least by me.  I'm still not sure what to make of it yet.   The plan may not reveal itself until the QB is determined however.  Until that's settled everything else seems to be the normal churn, well for a first time GM anyway.

Kemo was 2006

Feels a lot like the 2008 offseason, except the team is worse than they ever were under John Fox, 2010 excluded.

This. I’m not expecting more than three or four wins unless we make a big upgrade at QB and even then, it's questionable. Nothing we’ve done or really been able to do yet can free us from the inevitable 1-5 NFCS record.

      Draft Week Rumors, Leaks and Media Draftniks Final Mocks

      By Panther53521 · Posted

      After watching Dan for 3 yrs now, I think I understand his plan. It’s a simple plan that should work for the long run.     I saw some of this last yr. Dan wants a vet and a young player at each position. I really think we go OT if one they like there. Moton is aging, Icky will not be back until 27, if ever. We need to get ahead of the tackle problem

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      You are just stressing too much about these particular positions. You want to upgrade from Bryce and I understand that but you aren’t going to really get that without getting into a bidding war for a QB2 potential QB1 like Willis. You could possibly trade for Mills or the backup for Chicago but they are still gambles and their teams will won’t decent picks.  Again the Eagles thought KP was a capable enough backup to trade for him once their backup was hurt and won a Super Bowl with him as QB2. The point is most teams aren’t rolling with some stud QB2/3 that is going to push even a bottom tier starter. They are better off the building their roster in other areas. The Rams are rolling with Bennett right now as QB2 for example.  The goal is winning absolutely. We overachieved last year even with stumbling into the playoffs. Another year and this staff needs to take the next step in building a team. Will Grier has little to no impact on that….

      Three straight first round WRs is straight up Matt Millen poo. Considering the draft capital we have tied up on Bryce after that trade we would basically have spent damn near all of our draft capital in recent years on QB and WR just to put one of the most anemic passing offenses in the league on the field. Clown show poo.
