Now let’s fix the OL before we actually have to start Pickett

Remember when FAs didn’t want to come here? It turns out winning and not tanking for 8 draft spots helps.

I think a lot of fans of other teams are going to look at the numbers on Lloyd and be really pissed off.

Money helps also

I do think the Phillips signing was a bit of an overpay to come to Carolina. Dan didn't want a repeat of last year and IMO, Phillips probably goes back to Philly for less. We didn't want a Milton redux, so we upped our number to make sure he came to Carolina. 

New England did it last year and wrote a blank check for Williams. They also went in on Carlton Davis III and Harold Landry. Look where they ended up. 

I think the Lloyd singing balanced the Phillips signing. 

I think Dan learned that pivoting from Phillips to someone else that is less of a fit in EE's system and settling for Chenal over Lloyd would've been a repeat of last year. 

Good on him. 

Decker on a fair 2-yr deal and I'm good walking into the draft with what we've got. Darnell Mooney would be another late add if his pricetag comes down a bit.

Need somebody to track who these players are following. Lloyd, Phillips were all reportedly being followed by Panthers on social media. 
 

A few other names I have ran across with recent follows: Taylor Decker, Rachaad White

[WUnderhill]

We're through one day of the legal negotiating window. Who are the best free agents still available? Here are NFL analyst Matt Bowen's top remaining names (including one player who will soon be released):

 

1. Trey Hendrickson, Edge
2. Rasheed Walker, OT
3. Braden Smith, OT
4. Riq Woolen, CB
5. Kyler Murray, QB*
6. Romeo Doubs, WR
7. K'Lavon Chaisson, Edge
8. Jauan Jennings, WR
9. Greg Newsome II, CB
10. Taylor Decker, OT

There’s a few OTs here, hope we can get one but no clue what kind of $$ these guys are commanding. A couple older guys and a guy that recently got arrested on a gun charge. Give me one of the older guys on a 2 yr deal to get us by and this FA will have been just about perfect.

Oh please, bad teams have been gobbling up free agents for years. Every guy talks about wanting to go to a winner but the vast majority end up signing on the dotted line for the highest offer made. Don't delude yourself into thinking we're a sought after destination for someone looking to win. I mean we're in the midst of eight consecutive losing seasons but win the worst division in the league by default and it makes some fans think we've arrived.

Taylor Decker is the move. At the very least they need to re-sign Nijman
