Would You Trade A 1st Rounder For Victor Cruz?

with him having problems getting a deal done in nyg got me thinking maybe Gettlemen who should know him really well could somehow make a deal with them and bring him here?

 

I would do it in a heartbeat not only will that give our #2 for this season but Cruz could take over as #1 once Smitty is done.

 

Our WR AFTER Deal

#1WR:Smitty

#2wr Cruz

#3:Lafell/Hixon

I don't think we are that desperate yet. I would not give up a 1st at this point. If Smitty were to suddenly retire I would, though. At this point I think we will have options next year. Like someone else said, maybe we use our first 2 picks next year on WRs.

I don't know. A ton of teams are gonna jump on Nicks too.

 

True but he is from Charlotte and has mentioned that he would love to play here. Make him a reasonable offer is all I am asking for and let him decide.

I would, because it would become a late 1st. The trickery is affording him/ willing to pay more than the Giants would to keep him. As they can match any offer we make.

 

But yes I would do it.

 

See but we have to send a pick AND sign Cruz to a deal....not cool

 

I could maybe be ok with one or the other.

 

That is why drafting a WR or signing a FA WR like Nicks is the best course of action

 

 

BTW that 1st Marty wanted to trade away to teams in the 2nd was for Clausen ....that  netted us Cam Newton the next year. Let's not gamble like that

      Yea when teams see a gun charge they rightly pause but this seems like a big misunderstanding.

      D-Mo on FA & some of my general thoughts

      Sorry man you lost me at "Teppers have evolved as owners". Limped into playoffs at 8-9 not even above .500 Tepper is trash as an owner bro and that's not even a discussion at this point. 37-83 w/l ratio. Nuff said.... Morgan tho, he's cooking and it ain't cuz of Teppers leadership

      D-Mo on FA & some of my general thoughts

      After listening to Morgan's presser twice, I came away with some key beliefs. First of all, I don't think he's a bullshitter. What you see is what you get. When he says something, he means it.  The Teppers really have evolved as owners. Morgan has mentioned how they're easy to work with--a pleasure to work with a few times now. There seems to be a good relationship between all of them (and include Dave Canales on that). We'll see if it lasts. Yes, no one wanted to come to Carolina with the previous management, but that seems to have changed. The team signed arguably the top Edge, LB and OT on the market, two of them on pretty good deals and one on what I'll say is "not a bad one." And, credit Sunshine Dave "Flowers and Cotton Candy" Canales for helping to change the culture. Morgan mentioned getting guys--and I'm paraphrasing--that are not only great football players but great people. Don't look for us to be acquiring any James Pearce types anytime soon, just saying. We'll see if that holds true in the future. Dan Morgan really has set up the Panthers to take the BPA/BAP. He mentioned it at least a couple of times, and he doesn't seem pressured to pinpoint a particular position. He just wants quality players that will help the team. This is how it's going to be (to your joy or dismay, probably for as long as he's here), and personally I love it. Many of us know how Morgan was when he played: aggressive! That's what he's going to be when making acquisitions. He explicitly said it, and emphasized it. All avenues are open (think FA, waivers...the draft)! Personally, as long as it's controlled aggression and not reckless aggression, I love it.  On KP: "Mobility is big in this league."  He basically says if another QB is the BPA while drafting--we're going by our board, people--we're going to add them.        ...
