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.

Yeah I wouldn't overpay but it'd be a homecoming to a familiar offense and coach.  I quite like the fit.

He's also a really funny and solid dude.  Him and Okereke would be my two top targets, nothing too cray

would love to land Singleton. he really broke out under Evero.

I went to high school with him and he's an incredible guy. I remember when he told me he was going to go to the NFL one day and I laughed at him. Can't believe he made it after all these years. Would love to see him in the black and blue!!!

Mike Gesicki is my #1 target. I think he could blow up in our new offense if we can get a QB. His stats don't tell the whole story in Miami.

Exactly my sentiments.  27 years old--talented--should not cost too much.

I'm not opposed but man, he always seems to be dealing with soft tissue injuries and that field we have just makes me cringe.

Gesicki seems like a Swiss Army knife to me. Can do some things well, but isn't great at anything. 

As a TE, his blocking is a liability. No other way to say it.

As a WR, he's not a burner.

However, by signing him, the Panthers accomplish two things - they sign a WR and a TE.

Gesicki seems to know how to get open, much like Greg Olsen did. Olsen was a great TE, but he was no burner. He developed into a competent blocker the older he got. It could be that Gesicki best fills that role.

I don't understand all the Gesicki love, I think he has JAG written all over him. If we're throwing money at TE Shultz is the guy. Underated TE in the NFL could really change the look of our offense. 

Bringing back Foreman and Bozeman probably top priority at this point. 

Some good mid range DL talent out there too so we can strengthen the line of scrimmage on Defense.

Jessie Bates is the guy I'd love to see as our safety under this defensive staff. Free up Chinn to be more in box safety with him roaming the back end knocking people's heads off

On the BOA turf, dude will be out by game 4. I have always been a fan of Allen, but I can't see a guy like him or Woods here given their age.

Campbell makes a bit of sense to see if he's finally turned a corner on the injury bug, but he too could feel the wrath of the turf monster. Ties to Reich and Parker are there too.

Chark at 6'4" 205 lb WR that runs a 4.3 40 is nothing to sneeze at. Familiarity with Duce too. Pricetag might be too rich for our blood.

Slayton could be a more affordable option. 

If we go draft, I'd also take a stab at Perry out of App St or maybe Tillman from Tennessee in the 2nd. I think Tillman is going to shine at the combine too.

    • Also hit the over.  Banking on Man City running up the score and Leeds getting a lucky strike.   
    • Tailed you.  Also Free Play, which is why the risk shows $0.00. Let me look at hoops and get back to you.  Always fade Hubert, haha. 
    • Hard to say right now, but good thinking.  I look at this as the info we need for free agency.  Looks like we are going to free up about $10m so far; watch to see if any contracts (Moehrig, Horn, Brown, etc) are reworked the first week of March.  Then after free agency, we will have a pretty good idea. Right now, to be fair to your question because I am sure you are aware of its timing: In free agency, I see us adding an OT of some sort and drafting one at some point.  It all depends on how they view Ickey, Nijman, and maybe BC.  That OT could be Nijman.  I do not see the future OT--just a stop gap. I see the Panthers signing a free-agent center.  I think the market is strong.  I see Fortner from the Saints as a prime candidate and his salary is estimated at $6m by Spotrac.  the Saints are $42m over the cap, so I doubt they are able to re-sign many of their own.  He will be 28.  I also expect them to re-sign Corbett (depth) at a vet min ($1.5m) deal. I also see free agency as a strong area to get a free safety who can play and is under age 30.  Hawkins, Cook, and Bryant are all around age 27-28, play at a high level, and should be had for about $15m per. EDGE: Arnold Ebiketie is a good value because he gets pressure at a high percentage.  He had 2 sacks and Atlanta just drafted 2 pass rushers last year.   He has a 70+ PFF rating and will (Spotrac) demand about $9m.  While he is not the answer, he is a great third down option with Princely and he would allow for Jones, Scourton, and Princely to develop.
