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

EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS FREE AGENTS (2)

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.

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.

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.

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

      I used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By frankw · Posted

      Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
