Person: Nicks is Panthers' top FA target (Offering $4.5m/year per La Canfora)

I'm told Hakeem Nicks is the Panthers' top target to replace Steve Smith. Panthers hope to bring him in for a visit soon.
 
Without Smitty, we need some semblance of an NFL-caliber WR on the roster.

With Steve Smith on way out of CAR, Panthers still talking to Hakeem Nicks. Offering deal worth about $4.5M/season. Badly need WRs

For the #Panthers, this offseason has been and will be about bringing in more weapons and better protection  for Cam Newton.

 

And yes, Nicks is in play. As is Ginn. As are a few others. If they can make it all happen, they’ll be happy. Fans could be too, come Week 1

 

Back off the ledge fellas

Gettleman needs to lock Nicks in a room with him & Cam Newton ASAP.

Lock the door & don't let his ass out until he's signed. Cam's bigger if force is needed.

I think Ginn will be back unless someone flat out overpays. It looks like he has sorry of a verbal with Carolina, he's gonna go see what he can get & give them a chance to match it.

    • I'm going to be real, the reason that vote ended up so lop-sided by the end was directly due to my programming. So there's nothing tongue in cheek about it. Also I left PFF after the Collinsworth acquisition (didn't want to move to Cincy) but have stayed involved in analytics via backdoor channels, but I can absolutely say that the experience was eye-opening, not because those guys are unquestionable football savants and that I became one by proxy, but because the amount of information that becomes available outside of what the typical fan has access to is revelatory and also really drives home how much context is still being missed even with all of that information. You don't discover that you know everything, you discover how much you still can't know no matter how hard you try, hence my point about the NFL not being able to figure out what makes a QB good. There's a lot of AI work going into that now and even that only seems to further confuse things vs. actually enlighten the problem. In the professional realm teams don't really talk about quarterbacks as A strictly being better than B, but how A can potentially perform better than B given a specific context of C. Of course those contexts may be wider for A than B, but there's also contexts where B can outshine A, even with lesser talent surrounding them. So what good teams strive to do is ultimately define a process of how they want their entire team to operate under schematically, find players that fit that scheme, and hopefully find a guy whose skillset will be maximized running that scheme with those players. Where bad teams fall of the wagon is constantly shifting those schemes and chasing bad fits or fads vs. sticking with a core identity and developing it.
    • there is a 100 mile long list of NFL players and coaches going to bat and defending horrible play from teammates.   
    • In 6 games, we've only had 6 hurries??? ... that can't be accurate
