Free Agent Signings Thread

I'm just frustrated that this organization never learns from it's mistakes.

It happens every year and it never fails.

Panthers go into offseason with glaring needs at a position.

Fans see it. Local media see it. National media see it.

Quality, proven players come available at that needed position.

Team ignores them.

Signs "up and comers" or "guys they really liked coming out"

Players, as expected, suck.

No quality players remain.

Season starts and glaring needs turns into a glaring hole.

Glaring hole spends the season as a revolving door of sub par, rushed free agent talent.

Glaring hole costs us games.

It all could have been avoided by biting the bullet and going against your "philosophy" and signing some decent available players. It. Never. Fails. Every. Year.

I get the frustration... I like what we've done in the draft under Hurney for the most part and I think he's great at finding value from top to bottom of the draft... But, then days like this are when I feel like we follow our stated personnel philosophy to a fault.

Like today... there was absolutely no reason to not put a claim in on Tate, knowing we were looking for an upgrade from Clowney anyway... What do we do? Waive Clowney and sign a 2nd year UDFA with one good game on his resume, who had the benefit of playing in one of the most WR friendly offenses in the league (yes we run a similar system) in huge part due to their Top 5-level QB.

Excuse me for not being hyped. Dude has very little physical tools aside from his size, and Naanee is a more athletic version of him. I don't get it.

And then you look at CB... Nevermind... Let's not.

I just hope we sign some quality vets out there now and not downgrade even more.

Waiting until after week 1, in hopes that the players we need will still be unsigned so we don't have to carry their contracts.

Hint: they won't be.

And the other problem with this is, even if they are, we are acknowledging that we're okay with taking a loss in week 1.

The CB position is HORRIBLE right now. Even with Harrison added at DT, we will NOT stop anyone with him alone... This is bad AS-IS.

    • Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.  
    • Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.
