If we have the cap room, and we do, I say do it. He's better than any CB we can pick up from now on in this draft.

Was listening to Mayock talk about how 2nd and 3rd round CBs in this draft are akin to a 5th round CB in the past few drafts. If you want a corner, Nnamdi is the man to go for.

although I really really value the need for a second corner, I'd rather focus on DL first so we can pressure the other elite NFC south qbs- then find a serviceable corner. I'd much rather try to sign Joseph off the Bungles

Why is everyone so worried about how expensive it would be to bring him in? He's one of the top 2 or 3 CBs, at the very least, in the league and we have plenty of cap space. We didn't go through a purge last season and save all that money just to sit with our thumbs up our ass this season.

He is also 29. He probably has 1 or 2 more elite years left before he starts to fade. I doubt a "Top 2 or 3" CB will sign a short term deal on his last big payday. Fans always want to make a big splash in FA but look back at recent history, how often does that work out? Draft a guy and then bring in a couple of low priced younger FA and see who sticks. Our CB's are not all that bad.

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
