Free Agent Roulette: Marry, Screw, or Bury


Edley

Recommended Posts

So you're Marty Hurney and it's time to decide which players Carolina signs to long term contracts (marry), offer a short term or low money deal, but allow to walk if they balk (screw), or outright releases (bury). This isn't about what you think is going to happen, but what you think the Front Office should do. I've included the free agents listed here plus a few vets at the tail end of contracts. What I would do is in Bold.

James Anderson OLB RFA Screw

Tyler Brayton DE UFA Screw

Thomas Davis OLB RFA Marry

A.J. Feeley QB UFA Screw

Jeff King TE RFA Bury

Louis Leonard DT RFA Bury

Rhys Lloyd K RFA Screw

Most of the RFAs will be at the least tendered offers, make no sense to just let them walk. Tyler and Leonard will be back as we gave up picks to get them, so expect at the least a tender.

The grey area for me are Marshall, Davis and Moore. I can see the temptation to tender them high and then negotiate through next season. that way you get compensation if they are snapped up and not matched, but more importantly get a better handle on the lock out for 2011. No point in loading up on big deals for starting that year if there is no football.

Thus I can see Moore, Marshall and Davis all being tendered high first and THEN attempting to negotiate a 'fair' deal for us.

At least that is what the front office 'should' be thinking.

    • Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.   
    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
