We have a bit of cap space now, maybe more once Gettleman chats with Beason and D'Will. They have to sign a quality O-lineman in FA; that's an imperative. I expect a versatile lineman signed in the next month. We might even grab a corner with market being so quiet...

From what I've gathered from Gettleman, he wants everybody to be on the same page. I remember a quote of him saying something along the lines of everybody's opinion matters, from top to bottom. It's a collective thought-process. This is something that Rivera and Hurney evidently did not have. I was very worried earlier on like you. But the latest signings and cuts have been tremendously beneficial to both the present and the future.

Panthers fans should be excited. We have a GM who is a football guy, like our head coach. They are both extremely good at building teams. Whether it be defensively (Rivera) or as a whole (Gettleman). Both have an eye for talent and both know what winning takes.

I've been more optimistic than most about next year; the Shula promotion, retaining Rivera, and the Gettleman signings, cuts and restructures. Because i believe Gettleman and Rivera know how to build a team from top to bottom.

Oh, don't get me wrong. I still see a bright future ahead. Hellz, I will go so far as to say, it has already started. If we go say, 10-6 this year. Rivera will have been 16-8 over his last 24 games. Not a bad run if you ask me.

i don't see why we wouldn't be able to do that.

Only good one that's a run stuffer out there is Branch and he probably wants more than a 1 year vet min.(deservedly too)

Other guys like Hampton & Puoha are up there in age. Other than that nothing much.

many might disagree, but i think cole is our run stuffer. he is basically the opposite of dwan...good against the run, poor against the pass.

one interesting player still available is richard seymour.

Cole has been out of football a bit so he's an unknown but he can definitely fill that role if he's healthy.

Seymour is aging and had a hamstring issue. Not sure what his health is like.

cole hasn't been out for all that long. not a big deal.

I've got no real opinion on seymour. haven't really been paying attention. just noticed he was still available. I'm not even sure i knew he'd been released.

Better yet, sign OG sign NT.

Trade down 5-8 spots pick up extra second...

1st. Best WR available

2nd. Best Safety available

2nd. BPA

Profit.

I think what you really mean is:

Trade down 5-8 spots pick up extra second...

1st. Best WR available

2nd. Best Safety available

2nd. BPA

Turn off Madden

1st. Best WR available

2nd. Best Safety available

Cry over the fact that the real world is not Madden.

      The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.

      Ok LT and Petersen are a cut above everyone else to me cmc and Faulk are interchangeable on this list.  though Faulk was better career wise
