I was shocked that nobody has mentioned Quintin Mikell as a possible FA signing, I know Woodson is one of the best to ever play his position but Mikell is 4 years younger, would cost less and is probably a safer pickup.

I don't see why we would contact Woodson then.

 

I'm sure we have contacted a whole lot of players that we just didn't know about. You contact players to feel them out, see what they are asking, and decide whether that makes your team better, not just now but in the future (cap hits).

It's a dangerous game to play if you bring in Woodson just to see if he can impart some wisdom here or there. I would be the first to buy his jersey, but I only want the guy if he can play. If he can't offer him a consultant job or bring him in as a intern secondary coach. Neither of those options effect cap space or roster spots.

What happened to Mikell? He got a huge payday and what? Now he's available? Weird...

The Rams cut him as part of a cap move. Mikell graded out i believe as a top 5 safety last year. The Rams supposedly want him back at a lower number. Mikell might not want to do that.

I dont agree.

Mikell>Woodson>>>>>Rhodes

Rhodes plays when he wants too. Kind of a diva. Woodson is talented, a great leader, and a future hall of famer. Mikell only has the edge on him from an age standpoint.

 

As a diva, I agree. But, as an overall FS Rhodes has the nod over Woodson.

Woodson hasn't been great the last two years. He's been beaten in coverage pretty badly, but his ability to create turnovers made people look past that.

 

Woodson would be a nice addition to this team, but he's more of a "nickle" CB/FS than a true FS. Rhodes has the ability to stand in the backfield and solidify the secondary.

Do you know what kind of contract Rhodes is looking for? I think that will play in the direction the Panthers will take.

Nope, but at this point of time Rhodes, Woodson, Mikell, or any other FAs isnt going to get what theyre looking for. The market is so much different today than 3-4 years ago. I would think that we could grab which ever one we want out of those three guys on 1yr 3-4 mil contract. Theyre not going to get anything more than that elsewhere especially if on a competitive, SB contender. Those players would have to take less to be on a Denver, NE, SF, etc team.

      Travis Hunter on T-Mac

      By Seltzer · Posted

      T-Mac put up good numbers for 3 consecutive seasons on teams without a good QB situation, and in an environment where T-Mac got game planned against weekly and still performed. Teams threw all kinds of defensive coverages against T-Mac, and he still found ways week in and week out to contribute at a high level. XL was basically a 1-year wonder. Doesn't mean he cant be great (and I think him & T-Mac will compliment each other well), but i think T-Mac is the more polished of the 2 right now. This certainly isn't a perfect comparison, but I hope XL & T-Mac can approximate what we had with Smitty & Moose (Although i think T-Macs ceiling is higher than Moose and XLs ceiling is lower than Smitty). Both those guys were multiple Pro Bowlers and even All-Pro. T-Mac & XL have a long way to go to actually being comparable, but the potential is there. And regardless of how this season turns out, you can actually see a strategic plan being executed. On paper, I think this offensive roster has as much talent as any Panthers team since 2017. Defense is still a question mark, and it's unrealistic to think we will go from being historically bad to great in 1 year, but based on historical and statistical data, we stand a much better chance of turning the defense around in 1 year than the offense. I still want us to potentially add at S, CB, and ILB, but this roster is exponentially better than the roster heading into the 2023 season. Which still begs the question of how & why the team thought they were in a good position to trade all the way up. Regardless, it's in the past, and while the past 2 years have mostly sucked, we are strategically in a much better position than we have been in years. This is easily the best WR group since 2020 IMO (Moore, Anderson, Samuel). I'm super excited about what T-Mac can bring to this offense and team, and I'm really hoping we continue to build off where we ended last year offensively, and hopefully we've made enough improvements on defense to be competitive. I've also been vocal for the most part in supporting BY9. He came into an awful situation and to a team that was in no position to make such a trade.   Still, this is Year 3. And this is a team that IMHO has both the talent & depth on offense to score and score a lot. Most QBs that ever amount to anything are competing by Year 3. There are no excuses for the offense not to perform. I think BY9 knows full well what's riding on this year in terms of his long term future.  And I think T-Mac is a massive piece in helping Bryce and the team get over the hump and back into playoff contention.
