I wonder if they intentionally put these two together because of their last names. Sounding like a brand at Home Depot.

Come on man, you can’t trade the farm for #1 and surround him with pieces from the bargain bin. Go get him some dudes. We have money.

This isn’t that strong of an FA class.

Which makes the second wave even worse than it normally is.

But also means that if you participate in the first wave, you risk paying big money for an inferior player

Gantt clarifies where Tuttle fits...

Bingo!  Also there might not be a huge gap between choice A and choice B, but someone is going to pay choice A though the nose and choice B can be had at a reasonable price.

I don’t disagree you may have to overpay a little, but if he’s an upgrade to what we currently have, I wouldn’t mind slightly overpaying for a better player. We watched Gettleman dumpster dive to put pieces around Cam and outside of the one year where Cam was a legitimate superhero, that frugality showed.

Next year we have more money to spend and it should be a better class.

With the extension and reworked deal to Thompson,  Panthers had around 30m in cap space going into today. Quite a bit is tied up for draft picks and the Forman and Bozeman potential deals, so no big names. Also would be surprised if they went after one of the two tight ends in FA because of the cost. 

 

Also the trade with Chicago can't be official til the 15th, so technically the 10m from that trade isn't available yet either.

Not really. Brissett and Darnold will only ever be placeholders. No one dumb enough to think they are legit starters (except for us of course). Darnold probably thinks another NFL team is dumb enough to do what we did.

That would include Tampa, Atlanta, Washington and potentially the Jets if Rodgers falls through, correct?  Carolina, Houston and Indy would be placeholders.  Am I missing any other team?
