When the #Panthers signed former Pro Bowl CB AJ Bouye, they gave him a 2-year deal worth $7M, source said.

Thanks, hell of a deal. Fitterer putting in work!

2 years at $7 million is great! It’s up to our coaches to put him in a position in succeed. He has shown he is capable just a year ago.

Id like to see the details of the contract, right now thats a good overall. I bet its more taking form 2022 cap space, but we'll see.

It does feel like we’ve paid a decent amount again to “broken” players again. We done awful with FAs the past few years with only a couple exceptions. Spent a ton of money on retreads and injured players and it hasn’t worked out. Here’s hoping it does. We need a little luck because we are paying a decent amount to guys other teams don’t seem to want.

A problem inherent when shopping in the Kmart bargain bin.  Cap gets better next year, we'll be able to shop at Target.

I go back to saying I think this is truly year one of the rebuild rather than year two.

These are moves like I might expect in a year one.

I would tend to agree with this. Fans and team alike need to show patience of building the team the right way as this is likely a 3-4 year rebuild to the top of the division. However I think if we draft a QB this draft then they are trying to accelerate that schedule. 

[WOW!!]

Good contract now we can add a CB and safety in the draft and work with a nice mix of vet and youth in the Secondary..

[Captain Morgan]

details...

 Bouye joined the Panthers late last week, agreeing to a two-year, $7MM pact.  Bouye will receive $3.5MM fully guaranteed. That will tie him to the Panthers for the 2021 season.

Good deal.

Would not mind Rasul Douglas being re-signed could be solid depth at CB

As long as it does not hinder development of young players.  I want to see how Pride makes the transition from rookie to sophomore.  Hartsfield was listed as a S, now they have him as a CB and he was playing some nickel.  This should keep Jackson away from their #1 WR, which is good.

Sorry, no.  Douglas was borderline horrible.

Looked pretty good early, but went downhill fast. Kinda like Teddy.
