I've never understood this legal tampering period why not just start free agency today if players and teams can work verbal deals.  Hopefully we can get a WR.

Basically just making what has always happened legal. Used to be most of the big name FAs would ink deals mere minutes into FA. Everyone knew that you weren't hammering out multi-year, multi-million dollar contracts in mere minutes. So now it looks better on the surface. It's all window dressing. There are already FAs who know where they're going and what they're getting.

And if I'm not mistaken teams can only speak with agents and not the players directly.

Happy F5 day Panther fans!! 

First and foremost, I am hoping to see Bradley Bozeman resigned before Noon. I would also like to see a WR brought in early. Someone along the lines of Darius Slayton or DJ Chark. Depth at RB and TE can be had late in the draft.

There will likely be a lot of defensive players brought in to help adjust to the new scheme. I would expect FAs from Indy and Denver to be top targets as the coaching staff is highly familiar with these players. Players like DE Yannick Ngakoue, LB Bobby Okereke, and CB Ronald Darby.

While the Panthers are mid-tier in terms of current cap space, look for these FAs to have back-loaded contracts as we have God-Tier Cap Space available next year. I fully expect us to be busier today than most people think.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
