splash, no. signing players who 90% of us have never heard of, that we look up on wikipedia and find a highlight or two and subsequently overrate their potential and then shrug when 2/3rds of them are cut at the end of training camp, probably.

Where was the money when the Redskins signed every big name FA out there?

If a team wants to sign players and pay them whatever they can make it happen. It's just a maker of doing it and then dealing having to deal the consequences down the road. The good GM, and Hurney has been good at this, can balance this out to where those future cuts are already planned for.

I actually have a sneaking feeling that the Panthers might make a run for and sign Mario Williams. Hurney has never had a problem with paying as many as 3 dlineman big contracts and right now only C Johnson has one so...

Nope. The Panthers' MO has always to retain their own players first. Signing FA's are like a luxury to them. I think there's gonna be a big cut soon, someone like Davis or Otah. It's not that I wanna see them leave, but we're already over the cap. Someone's at least getting a big pay cut. At the very most, we sign someone like Garay who we can get for cheap.

The way it looks to me is there is a couple of free agents out there that actually want to come in and be part of Super Bowl Contender Team. Mario might like a 1st super bowl trophy.

Winners like winning and I fully believe there's a lot of folks believe The Panthers gonna be winning a lot. Money is great but when you got plenty, Fun trumps it every time and winning is FUN!!!!! So I won't be surprised if some folks want to join us in having Fun.

I just want to sit back and watch!!!!

      Why would we not be contenders? As long as Bryce plays like he did when he came back, we absolutely can be contenders...that is...   if the defense plays better... which is why adding someone like Ramsey when we have a QB on a rookie deal and can afford it makes sense IMO. No one thought of the Commanders being contenders last year or the Texans the year before and so on and so forth. Top-end QB play, especially for a guy on a rookie deal, changes everything in terms of timelines. Regardless of what this board thinks, I hope the front office is willing to he aggressive in thks window we currently have with a rookie QB deal

      Would absolutely love to have him. I dont think he would require more than a 5th rounder. The biggest thing with his contract is the amount of guaranteed money. As long as they can work out and scenario where the Panthers aren't on the hook for a lot of that, I think it's a no-brainer. The Panthers can come up with $20M at the drop of a hat with restructuring Moton's contract, so there definitely isn't an issue from a money perspective. Jaycee paired with Ramsey along with Mike Jack would give us one of the best CB groups in the league. The one caveat I see is that safety still remains our biggest current weakness. We need a starting caliber S more than CB, simply put. But adding someone like Ramsey would be amazing as long as the compensation made sense. Ramsey could also play for FS snaps also. I also dont understand this nonsense about being seasons away. We have a QB on a rookie deal who was playing at an elite level to end last season. Within reason, now is absolutely the time to make moves like trading for Ramsey.

      He'd be a huge upgrade for this year, but we're still not going to be contenders with him and I'd rather keep the cap space to roll into next season to spend on a younger player who can be an impact starter for us for the next 3-5 years while we're hoping to contend.
