For some reason I don't remember... do big signings usually start right away or does it take a couple days?

 

For the other 31 teams, signings are permitted right away. There is something in the by-laws or the charter or something that prohibits the Panthers from making any moves until atleast 2 weeks into free agency.  Then, once that 2 week period is over, there is a limit to the value of the player that the panthers can sign.

 

I'm hopeful the Panthers will make a splash this year with a career backup center or maybe a "special teams ace" at linebacker!!!

Come on over.

My employer actually expects me to be at the office working during my scheduled hours.

The Panthers are most definitely not the only team that tends to sit back and wait when free agency starts.

A fair number of smart teams prefer to avoid the early feeding frenzy. Whereas some of the teams that are regular participantd in it will be in need just as bad this time next year.

I am looking for Gettleman to do big things with the offense in light of recent events.

 

If we go into the draft with only a low level name or two added in free agency.....  uh oh.

 

Gettleman will look like a hero if he bags Hakeem Nicks and a LT in FA.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
