Spoke to my friend today for the first time since the draft and this is what he had to say:

Richardson is not convinced Steve Smith will be gone next season. The sense from people within the organization is that Smith has cooled off since last season and due to his very close relationship with Richardson there is a good chance he will be back next season.

At least one D-Lineman will be picked up this offseason and the name that keeps getting thrown out there is Cofield.

Matt Moore's name will not go away and if Newton bombs it during training camp and work outs, there is a much better chance of Matt Moore starting week 1 then Jimmy Clausen. The Panthers really like Moore still but would not be surprised if he is starting week 1 for the Dolphins. I was told there are some people from the Cowboys who are now with the Dolphins who signed Moore as an undrafted free agent.

I repeat once again Williams, Johnson, and Davis will be back next year and most likely Anderson as long as no one offers him anything crazy.

No chance the Panthers sign Aso or Burress

Despite what has been reported DeAngelo Williams has shown up to at least a few of the private work outs with the team.

Chris Gamble will not be cut despite speculation.

They want to cut Tyler Brayton but they feel they need some leadership with a relatively young core on the line.

The coaching staff has heard nothing but great things about Travelle Wharton and love his leadership and there is no chance he is going anywhere. (I read a thread that talked about Wharton and maybe him being cut)

Steve Smith wanted a chance to play with an elite QB for the last couple years he had left and he wasn't seeing that spark in either Moore or Clausen for some reason. Had the Panthers not drafted Cam Newton the trade rumors would be rampant.

Yup no problem I am more then happy to help. I know this offseason has been awful and boring with the lockout so hopefully this makes it a little bit more bearable. I am actually flying down to Charlotte tomorrow just to see some old friends and then will be there for business Monday-Wednesday and plan on meeting him for dinner. So if anyone has anything they want to know just write it here and I will make sure to ask.

You do not need to believe me but I said the day before Brandon Hogan was picked that the Panthers were very interested in a player with character concerns and do not be surprised if they choose someone who they normally would not pick. The first pick of the next day the Panthers chose Brandon Hogan.

I said months ago that Matt Moore could be back when everyone was writing him off.

"Panthers coach Ron Rivera suggested Friday that free agent Matt Moore may still be a part of the team's 2011 plans.Rivera said Moore "can get involved in our QB situation," along with Jimmy Clausen and No. 1 overall pick Cam Newton."

I also said I was told months ago that Steve Smith is no definitly gone and he has recently made himself more available to the media and sounds like there is a chance he could be back.

But hey why argue?

      Why would we not be contenders? As long as Bryce plays like he did when he came back, we absolutely can be contenders...that is...   if the defense plays better... which is why adding someone like Ramsey when we have a QB on a rookie deal and can afford it makes sense IMO. No one thought of the Commanders being contenders last year or the Texans the year before and so on and so forth. Top-end QB play, especially for a guy on a rookie deal, changes everything in terms of timelines. Regardless of what this board thinks, I hope the front office is willing to he aggressive in thks window we currently have with a rookie QB deal

      Would absolutely love to have him. I dont think he would require more than a 5th rounder. The biggest thing with his contract is the amount of guaranteed money. As long as they can work out and scenario where the Panthers aren't on the hook for a lot of that, I think it's a no-brainer. The Panthers can come up with $20M at the drop of a hat with restructuring Moton's contract, so there definitely isn't an issue from a money perspective. Jaycee paired with Ramsey along with Mike Jack would give us one of the best CB groups in the league. The one caveat I see is that safety still remains our biggest current weakness. We need a starting caliber S more than CB, simply put. But adding someone like Ramsey would be amazing as long as the compensation made sense. Ramsey could also play for FS snaps also. I also dont understand this nonsense about being seasons away. We have a QB on a rookie deal who was playing at an elite level to end last season. Within reason, now is absolutely the time to make moves like trading for Ramsey.

      He'd be a huge upgrade for this year, but we're still not going to be contenders with him and I'd rather keep the cap space to roll into next season to spend on a younger player who can be an impact starter for us for the next 3-5 years while we're hoping to contend.
