http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/07/26/deangelo-williams-to-meet-with-panthers-tuesday-wants-to-re-sign/

The two best parts of this article:

“I honestly and truly want to stay a Carolina Panther and they’re doing their part of keep me a Carolina Panther,” Williams said Monday need via Steve Reed of the Gaston Gazette. “So I’m very excited about that. Carolina gets the first stab at me.”

and

“[Offensive coordinator Rob] Chudzinski said he has a big role for me and Jonathan to play this year and I’m pretty excited about that,” Williams said. “They even have packages where they will put me and Jonathan in at the same time, so it’s going to be pretty cool.”

The thing about them both being on the field at the same time has been something I've been hoping to see for a couple years now...

Just now on SC, was asked where he thought DLo will end up, and I thought he was gonna give the "Panthers want him back, and he wants to be back..." response...

Instead, he says there will be a full court press on DLo as soon as the negotiation period starts by Denver and Miami. Made no mention of us.

I really hope he just Schefted, uhhhh, I mean shafted us and wanted to sensationalize the negotiating opening up... If not, then I am not going to be happy. This b*tch better not know what he's talking about.

I hope this is more accurate. Sounds like from the beginning that the coaching staff was told DLo would be a part of things by the way Riv and Chud have talked about him. I really hope we hold onto all of these guys, then add Jospeh and maybe Weddle, Heap, Amobi, and a possibly a WR.

That would be a dream scenario for me.

Well...considering Deangelo is meeting with our staff as reported by PFT and he has said on multiple occassions he wants to be back and JSTEW has said on multiple occassions he wants him back...I think we work out a deal.

Normally I wouldn't be on the bandwagon to resign a running back to a second deal when we already have a guy the caliber of Jonathan Stewart but having a solid running game is going to be critical to Newton's development.

Actually He said the same thing last night on his Facebook feed... So actually PFT has it right... Read the threads b4 making yourselves look silly.

It makes sense for him to stay here, he has had and will have even more success. Him carrying the load with JS offsetting is only going to greatly extend his career.

It's DeAngelo's words quoted by Steve Reed...not conjecture by Floridiot. Therein lies the difference.

don't click on pft. don't link to pft. don't quote pft.

Just go to rotoworld and do this

Free agent DeAngelo Williams has told friends that he would be interested in playing for the Giants if they don't retain free agent Ahmad Bradshaw.

Williams is going to give the Panthers the first crack at re-signing him, but he'll have plenty of suitors. Bradshaw recently said there's a 75 percent chance he'll be back with the Giants, but other reports have that closer to 50-50. Williams' landing spot -- which we should know withing a few days -- is the most significant fantasy story of the free agency period.

is that so hard?

Best news this morning so far. I want to keep my Madden team in tact, lol. Now let's keep our core together lol.

In all seriousness though I hope we're able to keep the studs we have in place, I want us to have as many offensive and defensive options available as reasonably possible.

I'd love to get Joseph and Amobi, and I'd be happy to get Weddle. Not Heap though. He's too old and his production has dropped a little in recent years. Shockey's a year younger, with roughly the same amount of games missed and productivity.

      BREAKING!!! Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      Even if he beats the odds, returns midseason  and plays like he did last year it won’t warrant a big contract extension.

      BREAKING!!! Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      It’ll be interesting to see how the board falls I completely agree with you on TE for us The safety from Oregon would be the cherry on top for Evero’s defense/scheme.  If a OL’men is there that you love it would be very hard to pass up. This fan base seems to just see Walker as a stop gap but I wouldn’t be so sure. He’s the same age as Ekwonu. He’s had a much more impressive career arc/progression than Icky has. He’s the better pass protector. As far as I see it if Walker has a good year I’d bring him back over Icky. Ekwonu isn’t some elite franchise LT. Playing next to Lewis is going to be great for Walker much like it has been for Icky. We definitely need to get younger/cheaper on the OL though so for this reason alone it’s still top of my list come round 1 if board falls this way  Could also use another corner with Mike Jackson’s deal up after this season and needing a nickel but Corey Thornton looked really good in that role in the limited time we got to see him. However he’s coming off an achillies injury and you never know with those.  Then as mentioned above we do still have a need at WR. As far as “weapons” go it’s kind of a 2 man show with Tmac and Coker and neither is a burner. If Jordan Tyson is there at 19 and we can have a young WR group locked up for cheap that’s a huge advantage cap wise  And don’t forget linebacker. That clip in Devin’s Lloyd blueprint they used from Evero saying they need more intelligence there could’ve been left out for Wallace’s sake but it’s true. Wallace is lost in coverage. Pair a smart linebacker with Lloyd and that’s a group with Wallace and Cherelus being depth
