Time to spend some of Pepper's money


Kevin Greene

Recommended Posts

With RFA tenders as opposed to new deals going out to the likes of Davis and Moore it's time to step up in free Agency and grab some talent for our roster.

Kevin Walter, come on down. NFL Free Agents, we've got some of what you want in Carolina, keep us high on your list.

Hurney, let's get 'er done.

I like the idea of signing Kevin Walter. My worry, though, would be the old "Alvin Harper" syndrome. That being that a guy who looks great across from a world class receiver might not look so good in a number one role elsewhere.

With that said, we have a star receiver and we need a guy like Walter. Throw in that he's considered a very good blocker for a WR too. Maybe it would be like having Patrick Jeffers back.

how bout we give up our 1st rounder next year for marshall? :D

Can't do it. You have to have a first round pick this year (per PFT).

We could only get Marshall if we negotiated lower compensation, which probably isn't likely. Add in the character issues he's had and overall I doubt we'll go that route.

When did he look all that good in Houston?

He's done pretty well as a number two, and is sort of a Patrick Jeffers type or a larger version of Wes Welker, if you prefer.

With all that said, while I like the idea of signing him I don't know if he's all we'd need. Bringing him in means Smith is still the number one, and Smith himself believes that should be someone else at this point.

He had 30 more yards and 1 more TD than Moose in a much more dynamic pass offense.

I guess that's doing well.

Moose is at the end of his career, Walter 28.

Anyway, agree or disagree spending one of our limited picks on a WR might not pay immediate dividends this year due to the learning curve WR's often face.

A WR we can plug in and go with game 1 would be a big asset, especially if we have him locked up before the draft and can make selections accordingly.

    • Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.  
    • I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......  
    • Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
