Free Agency coming up

Recommended Posts

Between the underwear Olympics and draft another exciting time is coming up, Free Agency. 

 

I believe we should resign Bozeman, Foreman and maybe Franklin.

 

The Panthers still have a few needs and not a lot of money, yet. Who would you like for them to pursue?

Here are a couple of free agency rankings to read

https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/2023-nfl-free-agency-primer-projected-free-agents-cap-space-needs-for-every-team-in-offseason/

 

I think we need a TE, LB, WR, RB, Bridge QB, Edge and maybe Interior D line (for 3-4 D) to name a few. 

I think we will not go after the marquee names but maybe slide down to second or third day signings.

I hope this would set us up for a more clear picture for the draft.

 

DI Sheldon Rankins   DI Dre'mont Jones     DI Zach Allen

TE Dalton Schultz (if not franchised)    TE Mike Gesicki  

LB Bobby Okereke     LB Drue Tranquill     LB Alex SIngleton

QB Jacoby Brissett

Edge Yanick Ngakoue

 

Who you got?

i've been thinking a little about this and i'm wondering if their method of choosing coaches will carry over into how they choose free agents.

we've seen a good cross section of older experienced coaches combined with a good cross section of young hot shot coaches.

 i wonder if they are going to go after older vets who are smart mentors to work with the younger guys they have already and will be acquiring through the draft.

I definitely think Okereke will be a Panther. In addition to his connection to Reich, Okereke was also coached by Hansen at Stanford.

I’d also like to see Evero bring Dre’Mont Jones with him.

 

Ditto on Okereke

This may not be popular, but a potential casualty is Keenan Allen and he's a dude I'd target.  A young QB could really benefit in having him.  Reich has a history with from SD and had his best seasons in a Reich offense.  

On the lesser expensive WR end, Allen Lazard could be one to take a swing on.

LB, WR, maybe S or DL would be spots to watch out for.

Confused Good Question GIF by Choice Hotels

 

QB is the position of focus for me and I think they will sign a Free Agent.

Question is WHAT Free Agent?

There are no indications one way or the other (at least not yet) that the New Coaching staff is leaning toward or away from any FA whether it's Sam, Brissett, or anyone else.

I really want this proverbial ball to get rolling here. 

We need a QB.

I know Brissett v. Darnold is all the talk, but I'm personally taking Mike White or Taylor Heinicke.  I think both have shown to be more capable of winning games than other league backups available.  Darnold's inability to read the middle of the field in that Saints game soured me on pretending he can be our long term backup.  Sorry QUEBUS fans.

I used to get my haircut at the same spot Keenan and his dad would be at in Greensboro. His dad was a regular, but Keenan would come through from time to time. 
 

I saw that Allen was probably going to be cut. He’s still got some juice left in the tank, and would be a good target for our young QB. Hopefully, the price isn’t too high and we can bring him here.

    • 4610 total yards 27 total touchdowns 8 yards per attempt. Completion percentage was usual Cam ie mediocre or below at best at 57.7 and 86.2 passer rating. But the man scored points and moved the ball at will often. Compared to 2652 total yards 21 total touchdowns 6.3 yards per attempt completion % 60.9 82.2 passer rating. Let's just not do things like this. We can acknowledge Bryce improved (from realistically a bottom 5 QB) and hope he can work his way within the top 15 this season without dragging Cam Newton into it and unintentionally diminishing him. That's all I got to say. Carry on.
    • I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!
    • Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.
