Munnerlyn's agent meeting with Panthers next week

[cbully]

he'd be a BETTER nickel if we had BETTER cbs around him... I say its gonna be another short term deal

[fieryprophet]

Captain gets unfairly criticized because of the middling conversion % against him, but that overlooks the many snaps in which he covers his guy well enough the quarterback doesn't target him. The first rule of playing corner is to make the QB hold the ball; if you're constantly being targeted you're not doing your job.

[jptaylor84]

Not a fan of cap but if he has better quality around him, one, he doesn't play outside corner and two, his diffiencies aren't so much on show bcos of the talent around him. He's a good depth player elsewhere it's not really his fault panthers have little talent to support him.

[magnus]

because i'm lazy, copy and paste from another thread about capt.

 

 

 

i'm predicting a deal will be done....3 years, $2.5-3mil/year with $2mil signing bonus

 

same type deal will be done for mitchell as well.

 

both guys produced big for us last year and provided a lot of fire on the field. i think it's a respectable offer, esp. considering the market will be just as or more crowded as last year.

I'd definitely take that. 

 

 

We need a corner better than Munnerlyn, but that doesn't mean he's bad, and it doesn't mean we don't do what we can to keep him.  A guy like Munnerlyn, and an upgrade across from him, makes this a better defense.

[PantherPhann89]

I don't have a problem with Munnerlyn returning as long as he's paid like a slot corner and only plays the slot.

[rayzor]

I'd definitely take that.

don't try to replace him. try to build around him. 

 

if you want to upgrade cb....look at the weakest links and go from there. that ain't captain.

I'm surprised no one is talking about the Panther's having not contacted a single free agent player or agent.

"It's been real quiet, which is shocking. I don't know what's going on. I'm just waiting. I guess they're going to let everyone hit free agency," Munnerlyn told The Charlotte Observer's Joseph Person on Friday. "I don't think they've talked to anybody, yet -- not even Greg Hardy. That's a shocker to me. I guess they're going to see what the market value of people is and go from there."

This is going to be an interesting off season now that D. Gettleman has had an entire year to evaluate the team's talent.

 

Does a lack of activity to retain our free agents up to this point indicate Gettleman has determined that there are numerous opportunities to improve the level of talent on this team?

I think it shows that DG is going to be as cheap as possible in filling out the team and relying on rookies and low tier FA pick ups. If anyone wants more then 1-2, maybe 3 million a season, they likely won't be back.

You could be right.  On the other hand, the Panther's stock as a desirable destination for free agents is probably at an all time high.  That affords DG the opportunity to play hardball, where as Marty Hurney needed to constantly throw money at players in hopes that they would stay with an underachieving organization.

This is interesting. Gettleman played hard ball with Dwan Edwards and Munnerlyn last offseason and won. He might try to do the same again this year w/our free agents.

Which is it?

He will be. I am trying to rationalize it.  Here is what I think:

 

Gettlemen might know the personnel around the league better than anyone--the guy seems very aware.  He also has a good eye for talent.  While he may like Munnerlyn, he knows that he is nothing special in the grand scheme of things.  Gettlemen is like a Mafia overlord--its just business.  Emotion has nothing to do with it.  I LOVE his attitude.  Compare that to Hurney who thought he was Santa rewarding the Core of a 2-14 team.  Remember when he had to cut Jake (after making him very rich)?  He flew to Chicago to cry on his agent's shoulder.  I knew he was done when I read that.

Gettlemen did some pretty awesome bottom fishing last year.  He really has no chioice.  I seriously think Gettlemen is going to reward the core with decent contracts, but players who had a good year are not going to be given a Brink's truck.

I love Captain, I have a jersey he signed and gave me his practice gloves at training camp a few years ago. If he can put his ego aside and realize he is better off in the slot then I say pay him.
