Now if we draft a TE that position will become a strength! Exciting stuff

If we draft one, I'm not sure it will be with an early pick now.  QB at 1 and probably WR at 39.  Third will probably look at defense.  We will probably add RB/OL depth in the 4/5 rounds.  It looks like Thomas is stuck on our roster due to his dumb contract so it's Hurst, Tremble, Thomas as the main TEs.  Maybe Reich and co can have Thomas and Tremble looking better?

I like this. Still need a WR and a RB. Money is getting tight I think but I’m excited about all of this. Good stuff.

He can run routes and actually catch which is an upgrade over most other skill positions on our roster

better than Ian Thomas.  Fine add pending the cost wasn't too high.  But I'd like us to keep working at the TE spot.

Awesome!  Hopefully he wasn't too expensive.  I wonder what releasing Ian Thomas does to our cap?  

I don't know about our cap, but it would do wonders for my mental health.

Solid signing. Not who I preferred at TE....wish Moreau or Gesicki would've been brought in, but we have a legit pass-catching TE. Assuming the $$ are less for Hurst vs. others.

Well done Panthers!!

I like it as long as he’s not expensive. He’s 30, so he shouldn’t be but coupled with a TE in the draft it’s not a bad move. I think 39 could be a solid rookie TE or a WRnif a good one drops. It’s a much better TE class. This is a draft where TE is value so not overpaying a FA would be smart. Unfortunately, it’s kind of a bad draft and really bad FA year for WRs.
