DT Larry Tripplett was a key signing in Free Agency as Panthers look to rebuild D-Line

CHARLOTTE, NC- In a Free Agency that saw WR Chad Johnson not picked back up the Cincinnati Bengals, some Carolina fans were thinking about how sweet it would be to see superstars Johnson and Steve Smith reunited from their Junior College days. There was, in fact, some speculation that the Panthers would go out and try to snag Johnson, but Johnson eventually signed with Cincinnati's arch rivals, the Cleveland Browns (who will be Super Bowl favorites with their dynamic offensive weapons in 2009).

Instead, the Panthers took a more conservative approach to this year's free agency. The Panthers went in not having many weaknesses, but it was clear that the Panthers were going to look to rebuild the D-Line back to it's dominant status of just a few seasons ago. To do that, the Panthers signed DT Larry Tripplett, 30, to a 3Y/ $7.00M deal with a $2.43M signing bonus. Tripplett, who rarely played while at Buffalo last year, will likely sub in on passing downs for Ma'ake Kemoeatu, much the same way that Pro Bowler Damione Lewis did during his first year at Carolina. The Panthers also added the promising DT Lajuan Ramsey, 25, to a 5Y/$9.65M contract with a $2.40M signing bonus. Ramsey is a strong run stuffer who hasn't had much a chance yet during his career thus far, but has shown promis with his strength and tackling ability.

On offense, the Panthers found their replacement for retired John Kasay with the signing of K Dave Rayner, 26, who played for Green Bay last year. Rayner signed a 3Y/2.07M deal with a $270K signing bonus. Rayner has been on and off with his accuracy (51/72 career) but has a monster leg. The Panthers also added RB Michael Bennett, a long time member of arch rival Tampa Bay. Bennett, 31, signed a 2Y/ $990K contract with a $340K signing bonus. He will likely return kicks as Jonathan Stewart moves into the primary

I came across is this poo when typing in 2009 panthers draft results

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By strato · Posted

      I have been looking for a dropped pass list and all that comes up is QBs. And team stats. When I do receivers I get the passing stats for a handful that threw passes this year.    I wanted to be accurate but anyhow I was looking because thought I remembered reading where T Mac had more drops than XL this year.  One of you many smarter than me people here,I would appreciate it if you know how to pull that up, please do. Thank you.    And yeah I know that isn’t all there is to it I just thought it was interesting.  Of course what the hell is a drop lol.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years.

      I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
