Panthers Free Agent Updates

Here is a list of my free agents for the coming days.  Not superstars--affordable, practical upgrades. *Indicates my preferred targets.  Comments below:

RB Alexander Mattison:  Plays behind Dalvin Cook.  Good numbers, can catch out of backfield

WR Richie James:   Had best season in 2022 in Dabold’s system.  Improved every year, however.

WR Parris Campbell: Played 15 games in first 3 seasons, but played 17 in 2022, where he caught 63 balls.  Huge risk...Cannot stay healthy.

WR Darius Slayton: Has had 3, 700-yard seasons in 4 seasons.  Durable.  Drop rate slightly higher that NFL average (7.0/6.6)

TE Foster Moreau:  Plays behind Darren Waller.  Good numbers for a #2 TE—more yards than all Panther TEs combined.

TE Dalton Schultz: Probably the player to target if not drafting a TE—overshadowed by younger TEs on roster at times because they just had too much talent at the position. 

TE Austin Hooper:  Nothing special and has been in Atlanta and Tennessee.  An upgrade? 

TE Hayden Hurst: Was injured in 2022—had good game in playoffs

TE Mike Gisicki:  Had a much better 2021 than 2022.  Not used correctly. Can play outside, slot, and on line.  Because he was not used correctly, his value is lower—I think he could be signed on the cheap.

I am convinced that we must find at least 1 WR in the draft and sign a marginal WR as described here.  The 39th pick must be a WR--after looking at this crap.

Grab the Veteran TE, Scott.  Focus on QB and WR in the draft.

I want Mattison myself, probably over Foreman as I think he's more explosive and can catch passes which will help a rookie QB.

Shultz is my preferred TE but figure we'll be priced out, so I'd like to see use go after Gesicki next.

Think I'd add Thielen to the WR want list though, as long as he's not trying to get too much money, I think he'd be a great savvy slot WR for a rookie QB to have.

Has there been any rumors or news regarding any of the wide receivers? 

I am curious what the market value is going to be like for those guys since this free agency they are regarded as bad.

Will the prices be reasonable or inflated?

They were looking at some guy named Fhqwhgads 😐

To answer your question though, pretty much nada on that front.

With the details of the deals today being out, counting the deal with Thompson (which i have saving the team 8m in cap space, could be even more than that actually).  

 

Panthers should still have 20m in cap space left. 

That would give us about 12 million left unless you already took out the 8 needed for rookies.

Which is why we need to cut Elflein, he isn't too hard to replace on the roster, especially if Cade can take a step forward this year.  We need that $4 million to spend elsewhere right now, can get backup lineman in the draft or later in FA.

Still need to land some WR, RB, TE, DE, CB, plus a backup QB too.

    • Honestly though, it could easily happen if Bryce doesn't improve.  The defense is definitely worse.  And those offensive additions won't mean a whole lot if we don't have at least average QB play. I agree with the overall approach of focusing on the offense.  But we could definitely be worse than last year.
    • looking at that list, it's a wash if i'm an outsider looking in, we lost a bunch of nobodies and gained a bunch of nobodies. any names that are well known that left, were replaced with relatively similar (but older) names. maybe the o-line improved, but at the expense of other areas
    • I'd say it's a push given my options. There's no way of telling.  Last season they thought they had an all-star staff. That was not true. This year it's "player upgrades".  But having said that, it appears they have upgraded the oline and dline at a few spots. I love that mindset in team building but the results of player choices has yet to prove itself on the field. I'm also very doubtful of these new coaches. I'm hoping I am completely wrong about this staff but I do not think they will be able to pull this off. So, I will say they got better at having a good plan but that's all I can give you until the season is over.
