CB Terrell Thomas Visited Today

[*FreeFua*]

Don't know if this deserves another thread but...

@MikeGarafolo: In addition to CB Terrell Thomas, who was in for a visit today, the Panthers are nosing around CB Antoine Cason. Figure they sign 1 or both.

Free agent CB Antoine Cason will visit the Panthers.

The ex-Charger played only 169 defensive snaps for the Cardinals last season, struggling in coverage. He's still only 27, however, and just one year removed from being a 16-game starter. Cason would be a sensible, cheap flier for a team with a beastly front seven that takes pressure off its secondary. Mar 18 - 8:01 PM

Just adding to your post. Could start a new thread, considering some of the other crappy threads out there right now this is actual news

Cason would be an interesting choice.  Hes played in 96 straight games, had double digit passes defended from '10-'12 with the Chargers, and has had at least 2 INTs every season.

From last year...

Long and lean at 6-foot-1, 195 pounds, Cason is a good fit for DC Todd Bowles' preferred press coverage. Although he's started each of the past three seasons, Cason could be coming to town as the Cardinals' No. 3 corner after they gave Jerraud Powers a three-year, $10.5 million deal. Cason's size could land him on the outside when Powers moves to the slot in nickel packages. Cason is coming off a year where he notched 73 tackles, two interceptions and two forced fumbles, but graded out as the sixth worst cornerback in Pro Football Focus' ratings.

Apparently we had "light" interest in Cason last year as well

just seen the tweet about Cason. i wouldnt be mad about bringing him in.

This would give us the only two guys in the league to come back from 3 ACL tears.

One thing I've noticed about our interest in certain corners (Thomas and Cason in FA, Verrett in the draft) they're all guys who like to get up in your face and press. It seems like they wanted to do more of it last year but we didnt have the corners that could do it

...or if you've kept up with the Panthers free agency endeavors, neither...

Thomas is a solid corner. Certainly an upgrade over Florence and DJ Moore.

I'd be satisfied if we pick up Terrell Thomas.  Solid guy to start along with Melvin White.  Nickel can be a draft pick and Dockery/Norman as backups.

-1 for people making their own post the "best answer"

[MedellinHeel]

[Growl]

Gettleman: How is it?

TT: Good.

Gettleman: Good. Because that's coming out of your contract once you sign it. Prorated... Our franchise is forward thinking, you know?

TT: Really? Wow... I...

Gettleman: Don't think this situation here is the best fit for you? I agree. Thanks for coming in.

TT: Well then, who's paying for this?

*Gettleman walks to the door. Pauses. Turns around. Points at Thomas and folds his thumb down over his index finger while making a clicking noise. Farts. Leaves.*

As a fellow poster who created a Michael Vick:Ron Mexico screenplay thread a long time ago...this is greatness and fully appreciated.

Totally captures the Gettles this offseason.
