Carolina Panther Free Agents

Below is the list of the players who we may loose in FA this Offseason. Is there anyone on this list we absolutely NEED to come back. What do you think? I'd probably want to retain MJack, XWoods, Franks for ST, Hekker, Jansen if he doesn't retire, Mays or Cobett to have a center on the roster, and maybe D. Moore if we cut Thielan. 

UNRESTRICTED FREE AGENTS (21)

QB Andy Dalton
C Austin Corbett
C Brady Christensen
TE Tommy Tremble
TE Ian Thomas
TE Feleipe Franks
WR David Moore
RB Mike Boone

DE DeShawn Williams
OLB Cam Gill
LB Shaq Thompson
CB Mike Jackson
CB Caleb Farley
S Xavier Woods
S Jordan Fuller
S Nick Scott
S Sam Franklin
S Lonnie Johnson
P Johnny Hekker
K Eddy Piñeiro
LS JJ Jansen

RESTRICTED FREE AGENTS (5)
C Cade Mays
WR Deven Thompkins
RB Raheem Blackshear
WR Velus Jones Jr.
WR Dan Chisena

Depending on prices, there's the guys I'd want back. Pineiro not being able to kick from 50 is a red flag, and might be time to find someone else.  There's only a couple guys on the list I'd be sad about seeing go, but gotta fill the bottom of the roster and depth somehow, which a lot of these guys *hopefully* will be in the future.

We only have about 32mil in cap, in the 40's with a Moton restructure.  Cheaper young alternatives all the way around.  Brady and M. Jackson, Shaq(vetmin)  should be cheap. The rest can walk......

ERFAs + RFAs I think are going to come back, if nothing else then to compete in camp.

UFAs I think we'll see Mays and/or Christensen retained for the OL, Franks brought back for ST. Would love to bring back Shaq on a vet deal. Mike Jackson showed that he can be solid depth at least, so I'd bring him back as well as either Franklin OR Johnson to help out on ST. Speaking of ST, would be willing to bring back Jansen and Hekker but we gotta find a better kicker than Eddy.

Just so people know, right now we have 150m in cap space next year(2026).
 

expect us to roll a lot of contracts of people we want to keep into next season with extensions/restructures(moton). Could totally see us clear up close to an additional $30m this year without much effort at all. 
 

there is plenty of space for us to make moves with the Cap because we have so little on the books after this year.

Most of those guys have played their last snap here in Carolina. I think we bring back Brady C. And Mike Jackson. Maybe Shaq Thompson on the vet min, but wouldn't be surprised if he was done. Very few connections left on the team for Shaq. Could only see him brought back as a player coach, leadership type role.

Want to see back: 

One of (but preferably both) Brady Christensen/Cade Mays

Mike Jackson 

 

If the price is right would like them back:

Tremble 

JJ 

Hekker 

Sam Franklin 

David Moore

 

That's about it from the list. Lot of churning at the bottom of the roster.

maybe keep Tremble because Ian should be gone and he is a much better blocker/compliment to Saunders. 

as for the rest, I'm cool just moving on from everyone.   I mean, I'd take JJ back but at 39 next year you gotta think he might just call it a career.  He getting to that window where he really increases the likelyhood of getting hurt out there.

Mike Jackson expresses a desire to stay out of gratitude to Dave Canales...

Damn, Canales having that effect on one of our better D free agents is a really good thing. I hope we can take advantage... Of course his agent won't see it that way, lol

    • TSN NHL Free Agent Frenzy reporting: Ehlers agent is in Sweden Ehlers and his agent want to talk to everyone interested before he makes a decision. Given the time difference with his agent, no likely Ehlers deal before tomorrow.  And, yeah, if all that comes out of this incredibly weak free agent class is a couple 2nd and 3rd pair blue-liners, I'd call this a disaster, given the size of the checking account.  And, if someone wants to take the time and begin listing all the top line talent Carolina has failed to close over the past couple years.... ughhhh.... yes, the Canes have a problem. If it's Necas wanting out, the Rantanen fiasco, Guentzel- and they're just the ones who were here. Now let's talk about all those the Canes were supposedly in talks with and decided to go elsewhere... who wants to go first?
    • The post says, "Didn't hesitate for a second .... "  Yes he did.  Did you see that he was wearing white shoes?  I'd take it out of Mr. "I think my 4-wheeler is a jet ski"'s ass.  It was probably XL's four-wheeler too.
    • If this is a precursor to trading Nikishin I’m done. Miller’s contract is not a 3LD contract so if we are shopping Nikishin for a center I’ll fuging riot.
