I

Kenny Britt interests me as well. He'd come cheap and while he has off-field issues he could be a very high reward/low risk sort of signing.
I think he has lacked explosiveness since the knee injury. Not that excited about him. Sent from my SPH-D710 using CarolinaHuddle mobile app

Some of the guys mentioned in this thread would be great.  I hope that either Maclin and/or Britt is on the team's radar.  Maclin has already alluded to the fact that the torn ACL may scare some teams off, so he is willing to do a one year (prove-it) deal, and Kenny Britt has to prove not only that his body is right, but his mind also. Britt would be a relatively low risk, great reward pick-up.

 

 I don't see us getting Verner or Grimes in the backfield because I believe that they'll probably command more money. Plus, I don't think that their respective teams are going to be trying to let them go anywhere based on their play and cap room. 

 

Again, I think that we should give Fred Davis a serious look. He is still relatively young, and talented as well. He is kind of in the same situation as Britt.

 

Maclin, Britt or Davis would be a "tactical" strike, no doubt, but could make a prolific splash at a very good bargain.

    I think you  are dead on. Also the other posters bringing up Cotchery(could be our Ricky Proehl 2) and other players like that. Maclin or Britt would be low risk/ high upside like Ginn/Dwan were. There is no way that we jump in with the big names unless we just luck out like we did with Tolbert and someone really wants to be here. It seems to be a good bet that whoever Gettleman brings in(no matter how the signing seems) will be able to contribute. His player evaluation on rookies and Free agents has been spot on. If Maclin will take a "let me prove it" contract for a year or 2 that would be awesome.

I want Aqib Talib.

So you want Smitty to punch out another teammate then?

 

I would love to sign Boldin on a one year deal honestly.

 

I wanted him when he was an FA last time...

 

 

 

Would love Oher, Maclin, Decker, Cromartie... if we got any one of those I'd be stoked.

 

Do not want Britt, too much trouble.

I think Gettleman has made his philosophy clear, atleast when there is no cap room. Last year was DTs. This year, I think we draft multiple O-linemen in the draft. I expect he looks to patch other holes with 1 yr contracts. That said, I think Maclin makes total sense. A healthy Maclin is what Lafell only wishes he could be.

 

Gano, Gross, Ginn and Mitchell are no-brainers. I am ordering a Mitchell jersey the minute that he signs a multi-year deal.

 

Some of you mentioned Vontae Davis and Rogers-Cromartie. I would be elated if we signed either of those but those are probably a bit pricey. I think we actually bring back Florence and just let it ride with the CBs that we've had. Side note: Its about time to pull the plug on the Joshes. J.Thomas would have been cut last Sunday if I were the coach or GM. I was hopeful for Norman but at some point you've got to put-up or shut-up.

Would love Maclin....the ONLY way I will be happy with using our first 2 picks on OL in May will be with we bring in a free agent WR like Maclin or Britt....we could go OL/cb in the first and then again in the second, add a WR in the 3rd or 4th and I think we would be seriously upgraded.....it's rough right now being impatient, everyone wants the sexy picks but our oline held us back big time this year, I truly believe that yet we still went 12-4 which is a testament to cam. As much as I want to draft a kelvin Benjamin or mike Evans I know how important the Oline is and how big a difference it can make....we just all have to be patient and let gman work....good results will come for the long term not just the here and now

After watching GMs press conference I think Getleman answered some questions for us, although not directly:

Expect more of the same for this year as far as contracts, Gman will be signing many one year low salary deals, Hardy will sign at a discount or be let go, highly unlikely we use any franchise tags ( Gman made the comment has hasn't ever used one?).

Most of the names being thrown out here aren't going to happen they will want 2M+, from the business side of things it can't happen. But they would feel the needs well without question.

 

He also said something about not have 21 free agents every year.  Maybe the 1 year deals will be used to get us out of cap hell but I think he is going to set us up much better in the long run.

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
    • 7 wins this year and some of those against really good teams and yall think Canales might get fired? Lol Good luck getting a better coach in here if that happens.
