Why The Panthers Are Quiet During FA

A league source with access to the numbers said the Panthers have a whopping $24,042 worth of cap room, last in the league.

So not only can they not sign any free agents until they clear some room, but they couldn't even buy a full-size car with what they've got left. Then again, if they've got it in cash, they might be able to buy General Motors, but that's another topic altogether.

If we do poorly this year after sitting on our haunches and not clearing any cap room, I will f'ing despise people that will STILL defend Fox and Hurney here. I will despise you.

Do tell me sweet cakes who would make an impact here in FA?

I will never say FOX is the best in the league, but he is pretty damn good.

Hurney, gets way too much blame and never enough credit.

But please, tell me, who do you want signed ?

Real problem now... If we DO do something with Peppers, how are we going to use up 17 million between FA and drafts?

Wouldn't take long.

I would rather sit on it, extend a couple of our guys coming up (T.Davis) and have a nice bag of capspace waiting for 2010.

Oh and you DON'T have to use up all your cap space to be a competitive team either. I think you need to save a bit of room for injury replacements as well.

What are you saying!

We should bring in everyone and offer them as much as possible!

Having a plan in FA is crazy talk!!!!

IF WE HAD THE SPACE, i would like to see any OG or OT signed.. no big names, just a cheap O-lineman for depth.. maybe Orlando Pace for a 1-2 year deal.. he cant possibly think of starting at his age, right?

or some depth at DT, DE or CB:

DT Dewayne Robertosn, DT Anthony Weaver

DE Michael Montgomery, DE Kalimba Edwards

CB Joselio Hanson, CB Chris Johnson

just to name a few..

Survey says...the same people who whine about that will be the first ones to whine when those guys turned out to be not worth the huge $$. :D

None of these guys have been signed so nothing has been missed.

Pace won't be a backup IMO.

Until we trade/cut Lucas we don't need a CB

Robertson is waiting on us I think, or he is so bashed up its a waste.

The type of people you are talking about is exactly the type of FA's we WILL eventually sign.

It has worked for us in the past and will again.

      Thielen was a "dawg" like Dan Morgan likes to say. And they replaced him with puppies.  The analytics are probably saying this is more targets for younger receivers they are hoping to develop, specifically the first round pick from 2025. The eye test is going to show a very inexperienced group of WRs that are going to have some serious growing pains, for a 3rd year QB who has not yet proven to be the guy going forward.  It's crazy how in the literal first game of his NFL career, Cam Newton showed everyone he was a star QB and there was never any doubt about that. It almost didn't even matter who was around him, although he definitely had a serious lack of talent at WR for most of his career. Bryce is going into his third season and there is still a ton of doubt, and who is around him is seen as crucial for him to have success. I don't like it.

      Everyone says AT was old and slow but the one thing he could do consistently was get separation. That takes skill and it's been a huge issue in our WR for years. And while Moore may be a great locker room guy and our WR coach may be a 12 year vet, he's not playing in the game. Vets like AT do what they do because they can see things others don't and exploit it. The DB interview I mentioned before was with Stephon Gilmore after his DPOY season. He was pulling the younger DBs aside showing them things you wouldn't even think you'd be able to tell from the way the receiver was standing.  Seeing what a DB or LB is biting on in game that can give you that half step advantage is huge and we don't have that experience in our WR group right now and I think it could end up hurting us. None of our receivers have lined up against NFL corners successfully on a regular basis. Having someone that can walk over and give you a tip to get a half yard separation can be a difference maker.

      We only fielded about 4 NFL calibre players on that unit last year.
