Don't trade for anyone. Not this year. Trade down in. The draft to get a couple more picks. That's it.

FAs sould be IoLs.

Get your skill guys in the draft.

I wouldn't completely rule out trading for players but it would have to be the right situation. Think potential long-term answers caught up in a roster traffic jam elsewhere. But trading for short-term bandaids and stop gap measures? Oh hell no. Absolutely not. That's about the last thing this organization needs to be doing.

I hope these guys can get it right. I don't trust them with trades yet. Baby steps. I think with the trade capital we have all we would be able to afford are bandaids.

As much as we can we need to stay in the shallow water...at least for the first year.

I mean, I fully expect Tepper's Panthers to fug up at every turn because that's pretty much what we've been doing for six years straight ever since he bought the team. It's gonna take awhile for them to earn back any trust from me even if they start killing it right now.

I feel good about the potential. Everything else is wait and see for me. There's going to have to be a learning curve.

Harris and Stinnie make a lot of sense.  Good work by Auman

If chinn has any value and a market, you trade him. We sure haven't been able to ever find out how to get anything out of that athletic tweener.

Oh yeah...he's not a panther anymore. Good.

[Bear Hands]

FA names

TE: Noah Fant 

OL: Jon Runyan 

Solid EDGE options: Bryce Huff, DJ Wonnum, Michael Danna

Meh WR options: Darnell Mooney, Kendrick Bourne

Trade targets

Picks - get more picks, no vets.  Stop chasing and start collecting.

...Yea...I'm waiting for the tall tale fug up that has Dippers fingerprints all over it..we know its coming...I'm conditioned like Pavlovs dog....whether its telling Canales what D to run...who to play ... or what play to run... He will throw a wrench into progress somehow..... thank God we have a point guard that can distribute the ball.

He’s a free agent now.  I’m sure there was a small market last year for him. We kept him to hardly play him.

Bourne would actually be a solid pickup

I hope. But damn man, I'm rapidly running out of hope.
