Former Eagles and Texans S Quintin Demps was one of 4 players to work out for the Panthers.

Probably went in the other direction, and it was prob just special teams help.

EDIT:

Also worked out these guys.

LBs Antwan Applewhite and Kevin Bentley. RT @AndreWaschka: @caplannfl do you know what other players worked out for the panthers?

Why does Demps sound familiar? Anyway I am starting to hope there is a big time play-making safety when we pick in the 1st. If you look at almost all the preannual great D (Raven and Steelers) they have one thing in common, one hell of a good S (Reed and Polamalu). If we could find someone like that to play S we could move Godfrey back to what I think is his better position of CB. 2 birds with one stone.

Your thinking Will Demps, former db for ravens/giants.

Godfrey isn't getting moved to CB. The team is set, for better or worse, at both safety positions for the foreseeable future.

I would only want to do it if there was an Ed Reed, Polamulu, or Eric Berry type Safety available (which I haven't seen yet) or even a guy like Sanders (if he could stay healthy he was a beast). Those type of Safety will change your D completely.

      Is AJ Dillon just a camp body?

      I think Dillon can be what Eric Shelton was supposed to be.

      Yeah, no way he's an option at 19. We could honestly probably get him in the 3rd round.

      I mean, on some level I get it. They want to know 100% for sure before they either extend Bryce or move on. I imagine the logic behind it is that if they add another weapon and Bryce doesn't show he can be a franchise guy then we'll be in great position to draft another QB and slot him into an offense with 3 legit WRs, a good TE and a solid OL. I don't think it's as simple as the front office trying to "justify" an extension for Bryce. If they're not sold on Bryce then they know paying him big money is a recipe for disaster and at that point just trying to please Tepper isn't going to save their jobs in the long run if they're stuck with a QB we can't win with. I think Morgan and Canales are just as uncertain on Bryce as the fanbase is. They see his limitations, but they also see flashes where he has managed to overcome them and look like a potential franchise QB. I think they're trying to avoid Bryce becoming the next Baker Mayfield or Sam Darnold and want to do everything they can to give him what he needs to succeed so that if/when the time comes to move on from him nobody can say "the Panthers were the problem" if he goes elsewhere and succeeds. And if we do end up having to bring in another QB in a year or two if nothing else they will have the pieces around them as well and can hit the ground running. I also think drafting a WR in the 1st this year would be as much about missing on XL as it would trying to justify extending Bryce. Personally I think we need to just count ourselves lucky to have landed a legit #2 WR as an UDFA in Coker (which helps negate the miss on XL in the 1st) and try to find a good slot receiver in free agency or the 2nd-4th rounds while focusing on defense and the OL in the 1st round.
