Free Agency Update


NJPanthers12

Recommended Posts

DeAngelo Williams and Charles Johnson will both have an idea where they are sigining Friday and everyone in the front office believes tehy are staying

Barry Cofield is expected to be the first target the Panthers go after from fee agents of other teams. St. Louis also very interested

Panthers will wait to gauge the market on CBs and see what type of contracts who is offering who. Aso most likley to Houston like I have been saying for months. Joseph will wait to see what Aso gets and the Panthers will bid accordingly. The teams loves Joseph but will not pay top dollar. Detroit and Philly are two teams you need to watch out for raising Joseph's price. I asked if Joseph was realistic for Carolina I was told as long as it he does not get over 8 million a year then yes.

Look for Paul Posluszny to get a monster contract from the Giants. Could be the first free agent to sign with another team.

Burney was their number 1 target for the undrafted rookies and they got their man. They are very happy about that. Already view him asbetter than Wilson, Stanford

Thomas Davis will get an extension shortly and never hit free agency, but like he said if they do not reach an agreement he will be released. Will not happen though.

Other then signing their own guys their number 1 priority is finding a defensive linemen and they wil 100% add at least 1 veteran.

Jerry Richardson is aware of the Kris Jenkins interview and is most offended about the part where he cares more about his investors than winning. That is one of the reasons he stressed his coittment to winning in his letter yesterday.

Sidney Rice is not high on the Panthers radar andd again will only make a move for a veteran WR if they decide to trade Smith. Edwards is their preferred choice.

The Panthers will also 100% sign a safety. Both Martin and Godfrey surprisingly are not safe but no talk to moving the to CB yet

The plan is to bring Landri and Rosario back

If Matt Moore is not retained that is going to be a huge sign that Cam is going to start

Mikell and Weddle are both high on the Panthers wish list being familiar with McDermott and Rivera respectfully.

skins already making contact with Holmes. Mosnter contract offer coming

Number 1 goal for Tuesday is to get Newton signed. No visits are happening today or tonight.

If the Panthers trade Steve Smith they want a third rounder plus a player

Orton to Dolphins is close

Kevin Payne will not be the only safety the Panthers sign

Good News: Looks like the Skins will have both Franklin and Cullen Jenkins locked up by Friday leaving no room for Cofield. That leaves St. Louis as the Panthers biggest hurdle. The Giants expect to use money on MLB and RB so wont bring Cofield back.

If Orton to the Dolphins is as close as I am being told do not rule out Matt Moore signing back here late.

I really did forget to post this this morning and rotoworld reminded me. The release of McGahee takes the Broncos out of the D-Will sweepstakes

Half Rumor Half Opinion: With Banta Cain released the Jets may release Paace to sign him. That is the rumor. My opinion is Pace could be a good pass rusher speacialist in Carolina and if I am not mistaken he is from Wake Forest

With the type of players the Panthers are targeting it seems like Fua has a better shot to start than McClain

Reggie Bush released? This is what I am hearing

I am getting the sense that it will be reported later tonight that one of Johnson or D-Will will be staying. Stay tuned.

The sense I am getting from the guy I speak to one of D-Will or CJ could make a committment as soon as tonight to the Panthers. My gues would be D-Will because I remember reading a while back that CJ will be in Atlanta this weekend and my guts says he wants to see Atlants offer especially since he was being recruited by players from Atlanta.

The Bears really liked Braylon and could make big offer, so the Panthers need to decide quick if they like him and are getting rid of Smith.

Also looks like the Bucs already made a huge offer to Aso

With all the craziness going on today I find it highly doubtful that anyone would have the time to constantly be updating someone not in any way connected to the organization (you) with information. If they are in any serious way connected to the actual goings on within the organization anyhow.

Should have chosen a different thread title :(

You are right I was just asking for drama. I changed it. I will not be respond to any of the doubters.

The only thing that I added that was not on my twitter was the Bucs made a bigg offer to Aso and the Bears are thinking of preparing a big offer to either Edwards/Burress/or S. Moss so the Panthers need to act quick if they like Braylon.

    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ    
    • I don't know. CMC is like others and may have lip serviced that line of " I had no plan or wanted to leave Carolina" I think he even said he bought a house too and wanted this to be home.   Here's what I heard- In a way Panthers org gave him a test and he didn't "fight" back. They approached CMC and told him they wanted to put him on IR since the "season" was over or out of playoff reach. CMC didn't fight it one lick and agreed. They secretly wanted him to kept playing or want to, but there was no kickback. I honestly don't know if its real or not, 5th hand information type deal doing on. Yes he had bruises and pains, but was able to play...... but went along with Panthers staff. Odd to be playing games with star players, but whatever....   Plus the staff doctors found out about his tendinitis and there was nothing to fix it. Even with him missing time, it was the best move to trade him before he got inflamed constantly.    Lastly, its mostly time a combo of stuff, Fitterererere did not sign him to be the highest paid RB. That was classic Marty "give me a" herniay doing. GMs have different values on roster spots and rumor was Fitterererer was one that didn't want to pay RBs. For all his faults, he's right about that......
    • I think google is confusing signing bonus with guaranteed money. If you get a guarantee of say $10 million, it doesn’t matter if the signing bonus is $5 or $8 million, it’s the $10 million number that affects the cap, as the signing bonus is always just a portion of the guaranteed money anyways. And again, I’ll admit I’m not 100% sure about it, but I’m pretty sure it is the case.
