They are professionals… I truly hope they know what they doing me if not again tepper dm me  … that’s a day 3 4 fa signing move not legal tampering period 1st day move ..  and at this price point he must be playing a ton snaps next year.. definitely would saved the money towards bigger aeras of need (Oline market) then if wood still available day 3 4 offer 70percent of that deal if not I’ll take my chances with an cheaper options or undrafted fs who was a captain of his team in college… just saying we need to be chasing dollars not nickels and dimes day 1 free agency…. We are better then this .. I hope woods makes me eat these words

It would be even better if he put on 10 lbs. and played OLB in the mold of Thomas Davis.

Someone who has a nack for the ball like Chinn should be playing as close to the LOS as possible.

Agree but not  as a LB. He’s a SS and should be used accordingly. Even a hybrid role is okay but I think he’s more valuable as a safety.

Bro, its 3 years $15m lol that is nothing.  A quality starting safety is easily worth 5m avg/yr

He's probably going to get like $5M guaranteed, and the Panthers will be able to cut him at minimal cost next year if he's not any good. It's a decent deal for a solid starter who can eat snaps on the back-end.

Just gonna say, a lot of folks were talking about how relatively little guys like Elflein and Cam Erving were going to make and how inconsequential their contracts were at this point last year. Had they not been straight trash and proved to be serviceable starters they would've been correct. Unfortunately, they proved to be straight trash.

I really don’t like Chinn in coverage and as a SS he’s still responsible for the running back and occasionally wide outs depending on the formation.

With his speed and nose for the football he could be an elite WLB if he put on 10 lbs.

I think Chinn at 6’3” - 230 lbs. would be a menace at WLB.

Woods is definitely more of a strong safety. We overpaid slightly but probably had to to get him to come here. He's a upgrade on Burris, but probably a little out of position if he's expected to play traditional FS.

An interesting move and possibly a very good one depending on how he is used.

Some of you would complain about taxes after winning the powerball. 
 

Safety was a need. We addressed it with a solid young player and for a very manageable price. He’s comparable to djax at his position (probably better) and we got him for $5m per. Be happy.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
