we do need talent on the line

but it wouldn't make a lot of sense though to trade away a blue chip defensive tackle for team chemistry issues(jenkins) and then to sign haynesworth

What hurt us the most was just having a lack of talent on the interior of the line, lewis and kemo are situation players and we have them as starters, and the back ups were average at best, that also doesn't make any sense on a john fox team

we need talent, but I don't think haynesworth is what the team needs

the departure of julius peppers will close a door but open a window with the additional caproom and draft picks he leaves us

I agree with some of this, but the diffrence is that Kris Jenkins didnt want to be in Carolina, Haynesworth has stated that this is a place he would like to be

exactly he wants to play here for carolina, something that neither peppers or Jenkins wanted to do. I don't think he would be a locker room cancer either. too many guys on the team that would step up and say something. Moose, Smitty, delhomme, Beason.

      NFL Free Agency

      Absolutely. He just turned 27 a few days ago, so quite young. He and Moehrig would be quite the pairing.  I know we say this every year, but this FA period has A LOT of talent that will be switching uniforms. We were aggressive last year and have no doubt this time next week will have some studs on defense.

      DJ Moore traded again

      DJ Moore has always been a bit of an enigma. He came here young, flashed a ton of potential, but never truly grew into a real #1. He’s had a few good reasons, but yet to have a real monster season (outside of his first year with Chicago) We’re still waiting for him to blossom, but he will be 29 next season. I fear that it is too late for him at this point.

      I have considered free agency.  LT?  Either not good enough or too expensive.  Besides, this is a good OT draft.  (I would rather have a free agent, mind you, but the Panthers' reality suggests we can't do it without neglecting other positions).  What LTs are available in free agency, and what do you expect to pay?  Any Ickey-level OT is going to cost over $20m.   How much do we already have invested in our OL?  I get your point, but I do not think you can spend over $100m per on your OL. We have 2 guards and a right T who pull in about $75m per season.  We don't have a center yet.  Teams just don't let good LTs hit free agency, and when one does on rare occasion, he is expensive.  If you want a third of the Panther cap going to 5 Offensive Linemen, free agency is the way to go.  We still need S, ILB, Edge, WR, etc. I think we'd need more than Nijman--and I would understand if we went free agent for a T--but that is putting a TON of your cap at OL--so considering our situation, I do not see that option as preferable.  You may disagree. If I was not talking LT on our line and thinking about the cap, I would agree 100%.
