NFL Free Agency

[Basbear]

im no believer in "hey look at who Panthers players start following", but dbrown among others started following Lloyd.

That LB was not 20 million like reports, I mean lloyd at south of 15million.... its not crazy FA contract BS.

Everyone thinks these guys are going to break the bank. The reality is that only a handful actually do. The rest just get minor pay raises.

Side comment I noticed w/ the Linderbaum signing....

 

I know they say they don't plan to trade him. I still wonder if we reach out to see if the Raiders truly wouldn't listen to a trade offer on JPJ. 

I maybe wrong, but I  believe the new HC spoke highly of JPJ in his first presser. whatever that means... but Dan should at least give a heat check....problem is he was in Pete's doghouse and Panthers are copying all of Pete's ideas etc...

Tennessee got Trubisky. There goes my favorite QB2 option

the CB market is insane currently. Rams made the 20th+/- best CB the new highest paid and a bunch of no-names are getting 55 million deals...

At this point I'm more interested in do they have the tools vs is he a bonehead. Sometimes it comes down to speaking the right language. I said this before about Darnold after we traded him away. He needed someone who could communicate with him effectively to help him grow. Neither of those were Gase or Rhule. He could also be another Rosen. Either way, Dalton is done and we need to look elsewhere whether it's Levis, Howell, the ghost of Vinnie Testaverdi. Somewhere. 

I like the idea of Howell too. Everyone made excuses galore for Bryce because of a bad OL, Howell had it worse. 
Ans yeah threw a lot of picks but also a lot of completions.  They all suck under pressure.  
 

Two names I am in sync with, Levis and Howell.  Probably a couple more guys too.  But they would cost more.  
 

and PS I thought we’d have seen like three deals by now.  And a cut or two.

Between him and Demario Davis leaving New Orleans, and Mike Evans leaving Tampa, there's all kinds of good news for the Panthers.

The #Titans aren’t done, they’ve agreed to terms with CB Alontae Taylor, as the former #Saints star moves on. He gets a 3-year deal worth $60M with $42M fully guaranteed in a deal done by Trevon Smith of @AthletesFirst.

I think we sign Ethan Pocic. He was in Seattle with Dave and Dan. I still think we draft somebody Day 2 for Center

Wow, I didn't see this coming. Every Mock draft I've seen had them picking Jeremiyah Love in Rd 1. The Etienne brothers will be meeting twice a year. Assuming we keep baby bro.

I doubt it. We will sign/draft somebody and brooks is there too. His career ended when he muffed that punt

[Kentucky Panther]

Do we have good odds to sign Lloyd at this point?
