NFL Free Agent News

Speculation that Bengals free agents may flock to Minnesota to join former DC Mike Zimmer (link).  Word also that the Vikes are very interested in Dolphins corner Nolan Carroll, a guy I'd personally love to see playing for Carolina.

 

As to the aforementioned Dolphins, lots of chatter that they'll go hard after Ravens left tackle Eugene Monroe.

Why do we bother making this kind of thread. It will be heartache for us on both ends. One we can't afford to resign most of the starters who made this team 12-4 last year to new contracts and we can't afford to go out sign anyone that is good. Once again we must get what ever is left in a few weeks when everthing is calm down. So let the hurting begin. :sick:

Because while it makes sense to have separate threads for every move the Panthers make (or don't make) there's a lot of relevant news from around the league that's worth talking about, but doesn't necessarily need it's own thread.

Yea I know. It justs hurt seating  by why other teams get good players to make their teams better we get the leftovers and hope they fit out gameplan and pan out for us in the end.

Would you rather be Oakland, Jacksonville, or Cleveland with cap room but missing many many pieces and under bad ownership, with questionable GM's and coaches? Be thankful for what we've got, because we went 12-4 and were 1 of only 8 teams to have advanced to the divisional round of the playoffs, have a clear franchise QB (along with the centerpiece of our defense in Kuechly), seemingly great HC and GM, and fantastic ownership.

Didn't work out so bad last year :)

 

 

Yea it did. But we can't just keep living year to year like this. We need to get solid core group guys to stay together for years down the line to make this team good. We never know what we will get from one season after the next with one yr contract guys.

I am really thinking that we draft 2 OTs and will have one start and the other compete with Bell. We are in no position to hit the market hard, and by next weekend, the OTs in free agency could be gone.

while I don't doubt the panthers draft two tackles, iI'd be willing to bet they sign a veteran tackle.

Ya got to have some leadership at that position.

    • Love the Freeling pick even more after watching his pressers. Dude is sharp and definitely seems to have the right mentality. I loved hearing how personal he took having a bad game with a torn labrum and instead of seeing that as the reason for his bad game and not changing anything, it motivated him to work even harder. Such a great pick, we finally got our all pro level LT for the next decade and now we can move Ickey to RT or guard with no hurt feelings due to his injury. Second favorite pick is probably Brazzell. He said he false started on his 40 and it cost him probably 0.04 seconds, so he’s more of a 4.33 guy rather than 4.37. Really Randy Moss lite. I didn’t know anything about him prior to drafting him and first highlight reel I saw of him I immediately thought he looked like Moss. Then I saw the measurables and was like yep. Then I see that he’s drawn that comparison by many scouts and analysts. If he can add consistency and play to the level of his highlights every play then we got an incredible value.
    • During his three years at UGA he only allowed 5 sacks. He is only 21 and is on an upward trajectory. He's a great athlete that was good basketball player in high-school.  His height (76% how is this only 76%???? these guys are giants now), hands (81%), span (99%), speed (96%), quickness (10 yd. 86%), and explosiveness (vert. 96%, broad 97%) are all outstanding.  When we took Freeling, Fano, Mauioga, Proctor, and Miller were all off the board so we could have drafted Iheanachor or Lomu instead or waited to the second or third round to take Bell, Tiernan or Barber or wait even longer.  A lot of these tackles (including the first two taken) project to right tackle or guard in the NFL and that's not what we needed now.  Freeling has some sloppiness to clean up in his run blocking, but he's young and getting better.  We can let him get experience behind Walker and Moton knowing if he has to replace one of the two this year, his pass blocking won't get Bryce killed. Icky's not coming back from that injury as a nfl starting left tackle and Moton is in the twilight of his career.  If Walker has a great year, we will have to pay him a lot and if he is medicore we would want to let him walk.  Getting a LT on a rookie contract is going to help a lot with the cap.    
    • It was cool but they have done this at least in recent years unless I am imagining it
