Sporting News Today Free Agent list (all of them)

Recommended Posts

FWIW: I outlined the Panthers' possible scenarios should a new CBA not be reached in this thread:

http://www.carolinahuddle.com/forum/carolina-panthers/27745-what-will-happen-in-an-uncapped-year-in-terms-everyday-panthers-fans-will-understand.html

Should the CBA not be agreed upon before the offseason begins, the following Panthers will be Unrestricted Free Agents:

Tyler Brayton, DE

A.J. Feeley, QB

Josh McCown, QB

Muhsin Muhammad, WR

Julius Peppers, DE

Hollis Thomas, DT

Keydrick Vincent, OG

Dante Wesley, CB

…and the following Panthers would fall under the exception of being 4th and 5th year players scheduled to become Unrestricted, but instead becoming Restricted Free Agents:

James Anderson, LB

Thomas Davis, LB

Jeff King, TE

Richard Marshall, CB

The following Panthers will become Restricted Free Agents, having only been in the league 3 years:

Louis Leonard, DT

Rhys Lloyd, PK

Matt Moore, QB

Quinton Teal, S

Tank Tyler, DT

C.J. Wilson, CB

Also, if there is no cap, we can use a Franchise tag AND TWO Transition tags on any of the potential UFAs:

Tyler Brayton, DE

A.J. Feeley, QB

Josh McCown, QB

Muhsin Muhammad, WR

Julius Peppers, DE

Hollis Thomas, DT

Keydrick Vincent, OG

Dante Wesley, CB

I don't think there is anyone on that list that we'd tag with anything other than Pep... but I wanted to provide you with even more reasons Free Agency won't be that great in an uncapped year... Teams can protect their top 3 UFAs in some form, and then the 4-5 year players that would have hit UFA status in a capped year will now become RFAs...

So, I say all this not only for the sake of discussion of FA movement, but also to outline the limited options that will be out there for those thinking we can so easily replace Peppers...

I really like Burleson, but I really doubt Seattle lets him go.

and regarding Wilfork: Bill Belichick isn't an idiot. He knows the demand for a dominant player like Wilfork, and there is no way in hell he walks. He'll get franchised and traded if they really don't want to give him a big deal.

Other than that, I like Kampman as a 4-3 DE, and possibly Merriman as either OLB OR a DE. He has the strength, size, and speed to be a dominant DE. He just came off a serious injury, people need to give him a break. I think he'll have a huge year(10+ sacks) next year.

I cannot agree more.

The fact that we need a # 2, and a #3 reicever is clear but i say we draft a plyer and get burlenson or just draft a reiceiver, why? well a young reiceiver like Mardy Gilyard from UC would be like a percy harvin: Third receiver and Great Kickoff/punt returner( we all know we want an electricfying kick/punt returner) I mean when was the last time us panthers fan saw a kick/punt returned for a TD ( not counting the 85 yrd punt return desean jackson did to us in week 1 =(...)

I think Steve Breaston is restricted; would love to find a way to get him in Charlotte. Gilyard or perhaps Shipley in the 2nd round also.

I'd like Gilyard.

If I were going to try for a Cardinal receiver, I'd prefer Early Doucette, but that'd require a trade and the Cards may well see him as Boldin's successor, so I doubt it happens.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
