For the side of the ball that needs help the most

QB-Andrew Luck, Seneca Wallace, Matt Hasselbeck

pray to god for the Panthers' sake Andrew Luck decides to skip his senior year. If Jim Harbaugh leaves college ball and decides to join us in the pros, that will certainly be an encouraging factor. Seneca Wallace is probably the best backup in the league and keeps an offense competitive in the event of a starter's injury. Hasselbeck i wouldn't really want to start but to give Luck some guidance in his younger years. Keep Clausen? Maybe, but we might be better off just completely clean slating the QB position.

RB-Williams, Stewart, Goodson, Sutton OR Williams, Goodson, Sutton, 4th/5th rd Draft pick, OR Stewart, Goodson, Sutton, 4th/5th rd draft pick.

Eh, I'm kind of open to this. We could re-sign DeAngelo and keep Stewart and have a pretty good core. Or we could re-sign Williams, and try to trade Stewart but I doubt we'll get anyone to give us fair compensation since, after all, RBs get injured left and right and it doesn't take a superstar RB to have a solid running game. Our best bet might be to retain Williams and leave the RB core the way it is now, but given the fact that we have so many other positions of need, we have to look at the option of letting him walk as a possibility.

WR-Smith, FA, Brandon LaFell/Gettis

LaFell and Gettis I see being two good slot threats next year if they have someone better ahead of them. As far as free agency is concerned, two big young names yet to be re-signed are Sidney Rice and Steve Smith (Giants). Landing either of those would instantly turn this receiving core into a secondary's nightmare, however there is the likelihood both of them stay with their teams. Santonio Holmes and Mike Sims-Walker are also potential FA candidates.

TE-FA, Rosario, Barnidge

Since the days of Wesley Walls the Panthers have tried their hardest to ignore this position, treating it as an afterthought and it's time for that to finally end. So instead of starting another marginal Quintus Pfuffnick, peruse the FA pool. Zach Miller is my top choice, but Oakland might keep him. Other upgrades include Kevin Boss, Marcedes Lewis, and Owen Daniels. Retain Rosario as he won't cost much and has a more unique skill set than Jeff King.

Oline-Gross, Wharton, Kalil, Schwartz, Otah, Bernadeau, Robinson, sign/draft Oline depth

Gross, Wharton and Otah will all be here next season. It is imperative we keep Kalil, and Schwartz has been improving steadily over the year. Let him compete to be the full time starter at RG and give Robinson one last shot. Fill out the rest of the roster with a combo of low tier FA and mid-late round draft picks.

I don't care what he is, I just want Luck on the Panthers next year.

The main guys i would like to see targeted in FA:

Marcedes Lewis, TE

Barry Cofield, DT

Ray McDonald or Brandon Mebane, DT

James Jones or possibly Vincent Jackson, WR

Paul Oliver, DB depth

Rex Hadnot, OL depth

Billy Volek, backup QB

      TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive.

      Teddy Checkdown in trouble

      I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
