Panthers 2014 Free Agents

[EightyNine]

There are too many people in the top column

how bad would it be. cause i really feel this who throw us into being consistent contenders. getting Nicks would also allow us to go Hog Mollie in the first 2 rounds or even elite CB instead of having to use it on a #1 WR. i think this could be our best scenerio

Signing Nicks should not take drafting a WR out of the equation

it doesn't but I would give us the ability to get best available OT and then get Wr in the 2nd and CB in the 3rd

That is a very, very good point. if we can get a solid vet to put opposite of steve, then grab a WR to groom within the first two rounds, we could also focus on the line and secondary. 

 

Nicks or Maclin would probably be the best bets for that equation. both would be solid #2's (maclin has #1 potential) and then we get the WR of our future in this draft.

Highly highly doubt we sign Nicks.

exactly and just in case both of there injury history cause them not to workout we would still have a future #1 wr on the roster

Your going to be surprised at the money thrown at Nicks. Lots of teams have a ton of money to spend. Thanks Hurney.

The Panthers guaranteed Jonathan Stewart's $1.5 million base salary for 2014 when they reworked his contract in the 2013 offseason.

The base salary is only $1.5 million, however, and Stewart's $6.875 million option bonus doesn't appear to be guaranteed. $2.5 million of his $4.25 million salary in 2015 is additionally guaranteed. The bottom line for GM Dave Gettleman will be that Stewart is owed $8.375 million in 2014 salary and bonuses, and he isn't worth half that much at this stage of his career. He'll almost certainly have to accept a pay cut to stay in Carolina.

 

 

Per rotoworld...

 

His contract was reworked last offseason and $6.875m no longer guaranteed.  If we cut him, we'll get hit with only $1.5m this year and $2.5m next year.  Stewart is a goner... Gettlemagic.

[Carl Spackler]

Why in the holy hell wouldn't we bring back Anderson? He's a good backup QB. Works well with Cam. Is OK in spot duty.

 

Also, bring back:

 

Ginn

Mitchell

Gano

Gross

Munnerlyn

Hartsock or Brockel

Cole

And maybe LaFell and Bell. Don't be shocked if they're here again, but not in starting roles. I've thought for months that Ginn should be the No. 2 receiver.

Greg Hardy DE UFA Panthers TBD -- Franchise tag

Brandon LaFell WR RFA Panthers TBD -- Take him back only for very little $.  2 year deal

Quintin Mikell S UFA Panthers TBD -- Think he earned another contract if he'll play for 1 year.  Don't think his body holds up for 2 more.

Jordan Senn OLB, LB UFA Panthers TBD -- Good ST player, keep if possible.

I'm curious to see what they can do if anything about the dead weight contracts, I'm personally all for keeping Hardy if at all possible and see what happens with Cam.  Cam is still under contract and we can tag him for 2 more years on top of that meaning he's here at least 3 more years one way or another but it would be smart to sign him now with an heavy incentive based contract and save money in the long term.

 

Hardy we would have to either Tag or Sign big now plus tag. money is there to do this if not for 3 of our dead money contract so I'm curious how much of those we can dump or designate as a june 1st cut.
