Reporter Rumor: Panthers Interested in Malcom Floyd

[beastson]

According to Scott Hansen dont be surprised if we try to do something for Asante

the same people that don't want malcom floyd are the same people that are gonna be crying on sundays that we dont have enough options for Cam

I don't understand how we can have Floyd AND a CB. TBH at some point I would like another rotational DT as well. Reported earlier that we are 1 Mil over the cap right now, and while extending Kalil will get us under, if I had to guess he would end up making anywhere from the 5-8 Million dollar range this season, even if its on the low side, that would put us at only 5-6 mil under the cap, possibly enough to sign Malcom Floyd, but definitely not enough to get him and a corner, not to mention asante who would be a 6-8 Mil cap hit this year(read that somewhere but couldnt find where).

I don't know who the Panther's could afford to cut at this point to free up more cap room? Who are some expendable players who make a decent amount? Maybe restructuring would be key? Steve Smith? Jordan Gross? Chris Gamble? Those 3 come to mind, but I can't see them being willing to restructure when JR just handed out a shyt ton of money to a bunch of other players.

CB and DT come first, as they'd help complete our defense. Although Floyd would give Cam a tall person (6'5 yes? Tallest is Lafell at 6'2 I believe) to throw to, would be a great addition. But like I said, and what has probably been said before, getting a CB or DT (both is best) comes first as we have a decent receivers core already.

My guess is he goes to Baltimore to win or stays in SD, only way he comes here is if he really likes Chud

I think the Laurent Robinson signing today takes us out of the running. We're just about at the cap figure right now as well.

By "Us" you mean the chargers, I just spent 15 minutes trying to find somewhere that the panthers signed laurent robinson.

Gettis is 6'3.

[armistice]

Oh wow, I probably should have looked at his then. Even with the slight height advantage, Floyd has experience and just like Moss did with Britt last season and teach the taller a few guys a thing or two that Smith cannot due to him being shorter. I dunno, I just think he'd be a good edition to the team. But like I said, CB and DT some first.

[Dpantherman]

Hes not coming here.

[4Corners]

yeah I'd be surprised too

[armistice]

I'd be surprised if the Panthers actually went for him yes, but whatever, I wouldn't mind him being here if it was safe money (or cap, whatever) safe for the team. ^^

[OchoNueve]

Need a CB more, but I beggars can't be choosers and I would take Floyd in a second if we have the cap space.

WR Malcom Floyd may have received an offer he can't refuse. The Ravens have offered Floyd over $3 million per year, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune. If the Ravens obtain him, Floyd would balance the offensive attack out with his ability to stretch defenses down the field. Chargers RapidReports
