After the 2003 run we seen an offseason very much like this one. It was very quiet and even more now than then, we signed very few players.

The biggest difference now is our RB tandem, and that 2004 was injury plagued.

regardless, an offseason as quiet as this one no matter the reason does not have me too inspired.

Its not about faith, its about attitude.

I pray we deal Pep, have a good draft day, and then sign some guys after the post draft cuts to fill holes.

We need to get motivated and active, if not this offseason will pass us by and we will be left wanting.

I am sure we will do some of the aboved mentioned, its just terrible watching our hands being tied because of the Peppers situation.

Worse case what happens?

We CANT deal Pep, he stays and we are cash strapped to even sign our draft picks.

Its all or nothing this offseason, and thats a bad place for ANY team to be in.

worse case happens is we can't deal peppers and we have to extend Delhomme, and give extensions/restructures to Smitty and a couple of other vets. Sign one or two FA and get the draft class signed.

That is definetly the worst case. Not dealing Peppers will really hurt us in the draft. We rely heavily on the draft and waiting util 60th pick for our needs does not go in our favor. We could really use some extra picks in the first 3 rds.

Extending Jake...umm...no

Sorry for you, cause they'll be doing that soon. Probably regardless of what happens with peppers. He'll probably get a 3 year extension.

The off season isn't over yet. The Panthers could still pull out a huge trade and have an excellent draft and pick up some notable key FA's after the draft. Always have faith.

Just my opinion, but unless they're in desperate need of a linebacker, I don't see any team having an excellent draft. If we trade for high round picks at all, I hope they are next years'.

Worth noting is that the Cats' rookie salary pool will likely not be very much $$. They calculate it after the draft based on how many picks the team actually made. If the Cats stand pat at the 5 picks they have and since they don't have a first rounder, they won't be spending a bunch of cap on rookies.

But, but, what about national headlines, we want a big splash...

      If he is BPA, then yes. I am a believer in Dan at this point and hope that he doubles on his strat from last draft.  T-Mac wasnt the biggest need, but at a first round position, over-drafting for need is bad.  We had XL coming back (we didnt know he'd catch rabid Racoon Disease in the offseason and forget how to be even an acceptable WR), Thielen coming back (yes...old AF thielen was a 1k reciever) and Coker coming off a surprising season...if you asked RIGHT AT THIS SAME POINT LAST OFFSEASON if we should draft Defense or T-Mac where we were last year, I guarantee 70-80% would have said "WHY THE fug ARE WE TAKING A RECIEVER!?!?!".  We're getting close, but you build a winning roster by Drafting studs in the first round and depth after, and Studs dont come from "Well we needed a Long Snapper", they come from "I dont care if we don't need a Receiver, That dude is THE DUDE"

      I honestly don't care about NBA talent. Our last championship team was light on it. The team that went to the title game was light on it. I wanna win college games. I haven't watched a full NBA game in probably 15 years. I barely remember one and doners, whether their ours or elsewhere. It's one of the reasons why my hatred of duke has cooled. Their players don't hang around long enough for me to even know their names.

      Should hopefully pick up a half-game on the Sixers and Heat tonight. Also possibly the Hawks and Magic. 🐝🐝🐝
