Free Agency.

[Kuech the Sneak]

Antonio Garay

Terrell Thomas

Cheap(i think they should be) and both very good players. These moves will allow us to address other positions of need in the draft like safety and LB and maybe another DE

[carolina-chuck]

nope. but if lucky, maybe a garay, garcon, colston or carlos rogers. and i mean one of them only

To be honest. I wouldn't be mad if this happened. I rather have luis Castillo and Garay though. Would instantly upgrade and alleviate our defensive woes to be honest. Then draft a CB in the first or second and we are in business.

What is the Salary Cap #'s?

I thought they were releasing the cap numbers today.......

They are gonna release it Monday.

2012 cap number coming Monday bit.ly/AchgSF

Multiple league sources tells PFT that the 2012 team-by-team salary cap number will be communicated to the teams on Monday.

Given that all teams must be in compliance with the 2012 salary cap by 4:00 p.m. ET on Tuesday, that’s good.

[R0CKnR0LLA]

Have you heard of them?

Are they a proven player in the league?

Are they a sought out commodity?

Are they asking for more than the league minimum?

If you answered yes to any of these questions then please move along, the Carolina Panthers want nothing to do with you.

[EMSMedic79]

Nope, we spent our money last season keeping players. Just pray for no injuries..... otherwise it's more likely we'll see a 3rd or 4th string potential replacement at this rate.

[Herbert The Love Bug]

Peyton Manning

[JawnyBlaze]

Maybe, I'm hoping for at least an Erin Henderson if not a *big* name. I wouldn't be mad either way with Garay.

[unicar15]

The Vikings released Steve Hutchinson and Anthony Herreira.

Hearing that when the league sets the salary cap on Monday it'll be right around $120.6 million

so theres that

We have not made a Splash in FA since 2004.

[Argus Plexus]

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.

^^^^^

We have not made a Splash in FA since 2004.

Who were the big splash in 2004? 2003 was a big offseason with Prohl and Davis along with Delhomme (though no one knew he was going to become a 7 year starter). 2005 was probably the biggest year in signings with Freddie Jones, Mike Wahle, Ken Lucas and Marlon McCree. Then in 2006 was Kemo, Damion Lewis and Keyshawn Johnson.

2008 was also a big year in FA signings just not any names but it turned out to be several good signings.

And while my memory isn't good enough to remember every year I know that in 2006 and in 2008 most in the media was reporting the Panthers had no money to spend before FA started.
