Anderson wants to remain a Panther

Per Rotoworld.com, a tweet from Joseph Person suggests from talking with James Anderson that he wants to stay in Carolina and is pretty confident a deal will get done.

Free agent OLB James Anderson feels "pretty confident" that the Panthers will re-sign him after the lockout.

It sounds like Anderson is open to re-signing during the initial 72-hour window, which would be a nice plus for the Panthers. The 27-year-old is coming off a breakout season at strong-side linebacker and can also play the weak side.

That's pretty exciting. I know some people on here don't want to overpay for Anderson, but I think it will be a reasonable contract. Hopefully we can re-sign Thomas Davis as well, and the combo of Davis/Beason/Anderson alone can garner another win or two. These guys are amazing when playing together and Rivera will really get the best out of all of them with his different packages.

Thoughts? I'm excited. Anderson showed a LOT of promise last year and I think Davis can come back off of his injury. No NFC South team has ever come 4th in the division back to back. Surely this is a sign of good things?

I've got a boner.

There are many boners to be had after CJ tweeted that he wanted Rice to come into Carolina, perhaps hinting that he would be here still (and he probably will).

Retaining our guys is something I've always liked about the team. I know everyone wants to make a huge splash every year in free agency grabbing Larry Fitz and Peyton Manning, but this team is a home-grown one.

GOOD SIGNS, GOOD SIGNS.

Here is the reality of the situation:

Anderson feels that his best chance of getting a good deal (and starting) is here. He is not a big name around the league. Beason playing WLB caused a lot of traffic on the strong side, giving him a lot of opportunities.

I want him on the team, but not necessarily as an everydown player on the strong side. I think Dan Connor will find the field more (Rivera likes him), and if TD is ready to go, Anderson could find himself at SLB on passing downs, WLB in relief of Davis. Who knows, but it is a good problem to have if you do not pay too much. I would think an average of $3-4 million per year on a four year deal is about what he is worth.

I agree with most of this, particularly Connor. Dude showed he could play -put the man on the field.

      Evero HC requests!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Evero to the Raiders makes zero sense unless the OC he's pitching them is a failed HC who doesn't have interest in trying for it again. They're a team about to draft a QB #1 overall, developing him is job #1 for the new coach/staff.  Hiring a DC with a young up and coming OC wouldn't make any sense, because then you risk losing that OC to a HC job after maybe just a year or two and that young QB has to change system, play caller, etc. It's why hiring an offensive minded coach makes the only sense.  The Raiders have to make the right hire/pick with this HC hire and #1 pick combo because of that division they're in, it's a gauntlet and you can't screw up this opportunity.

      Very intrigued how Morgan and Canales handle the offseason

      1. Sadly, it's just too early to tell with Icky. And the draft will have come and gone before we have anything, FA, too probably. Njiman was good, but there's dollars to be invested there as well. This is really our biggest puzzle to figure out. And Moton on the other flank is getting long in the tooth, too.  2. Coker: Pay the man WR2 money.  3. Most WRs take three years before you really know what you've got. We'll know for sure by the end of this one and he's still on a relatively inexpensive rookie contract. Now if someone comes calling for a good, good trade... 4. This is the make or break for good teams vs bad teams. And depth development is essential. We've had a bit of that but there isn't a spot on our line that doesn't have worries except for maybe on guard.  5. I think you draft the best ILB, the smartest one in the first round and don't look back. People lost their poo here on this board when we "wasted" a pick on Luke Kuechly.  6. Yeah, I think Chuba is a workhorse. But we need to be more decisive in his use. Still not sure Rico doesn't come back next season, too. He'll get to see the marketplace first, though, and we'll offer similar numbers to him.

      I've grown to enjoy Mike & Tripp, even more so after listening to the ESPN, TNT, TBS hacks who, for whatever reason, seemingly don't know dick about the Canes.
