Depends on if they want DE or OLB style guys. Shaq Barret, Isaiah Simmons, Bud Dupree, Haynes, and for DE's nothing really. Yannick?

Isaiah Simmons makes me sad.  The too often reality of a positionless player.  Chinn and Simmons are great talents.  I still think dudes like them are worth a shot.  High risk but you got to think some coach could figure it out.

I mean, wasn't the rumor he was almost benched last year for lack of effort/caring......on a stacked/SB favored team?  I mean, he was setup to excel in SF.  You can't give him attention on that D. 

I don't want him.  He is just a name that would cash a check. 

In the midst of a playoff run. 

Vet minimum only. He certainly is no Dawg.

Clowney finished 3rd in the heisman race 3 weeks before that hit 

True but there was always an oddness to Clowney.  He got that random high school hype you rarely see in football.   I mean, he was basically deemed great before ever being it.  Not saying he wasn't good in college.  He was.  Not sure he was ever a great football player.  He just hit the talent lotto early and big.

Devil's advocate--imagine if you were his agent.

He is 24, has been injured.  Has all the tools.  Needs a prove it deal. 

Great opportunity in Carolina and I doubt you can fill all your holes.

His goal, on a small one-year contract is to get more sacks that Burns in NY, more pressures, and more tackles.

I understand your viewpoint.  I think he was great in his sophomore season especially.   Prob should have been drafted by a team that ran a 4-3, rather than playing OLB, and microfracture surgery as a rookie probably didnt help his future prospects either.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By SCMunnerlyn1 · Posted

      Just as we won those close games we could have just as easily lost them. So the jury is out on if we were more lucky than good ( see the sweep by the saints) Were moving forward on paper. And how badly dont we all want to see us back to at least Above average form. Its about time.

      Ranked Panthers as the Best this year!!

      By frankw · Posted

      If you're looking for a pat on the back it sounds good in theory until you realize they also had the 2023 Panthers as the top draft class.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      Going into the 2003 and 2015 seasons we were supposed to be the joke of the league each time. In 2003, John Fox was supposed to still be in rebuild mode. We had a guy named Peppers on the defensive line who was supposed to be pretty good. We had Rodney Peete as our starting QB and a line that was a lot of hope and not much experience. Our new running back was a guy the Redskins, errrr Commanders, had jettisoned for being too old. We had a good kicker and writers thought that was needed because there were going to be more field goals than touch downs. Heck, it looked like they were right up until just before halftime of that first game when we had to yank Rodney Peete and put in some Cajun duded whose name couldn't be pronounced. And Steve Smith? He wasn't Smitty yet. Moose Muhammad, well, he was close to being written off as a bust. You know how that turned out. And then in 2015, we had Cam Newton, who was electrifying to watch but hadn't really won anything yet. There was an offensive line in front of him that looked like it was made in a defunct Swiss cheese factory and our big hope on offense was the great Kelvin Benjamin. And then he got taken out for the year with a knee injury in training camp. Ted "Feet of Lightning, Hands of Stone" Ginn became our default go to guy beside our next best hope, yeah, Devin Funchess. Our defense was pretty good, a scrappy bunch with frikkin' awesome linebacker play and a cornerback who had done more than drank the Kool-Aid, but had snorted the powder. He played like a superhero and became sort of a bat-man during the season. By the Super Bowl he had completely lost his freaking mind, though, and managed to talk his way out of a contract with the team next year. No one was expecting us to win the NFCSouth that season, much less almost go undefeated and into the Super Bowl. So, 2026? Who knows? But our best seasons came when no one had a reason to believe in us, except us.
