Cotchery a panther

The deal includes a $2.25 million signing bonus, and pays Cotchery a total of $3.5 million in 2014. The final four years almost certainly exist for the sole reason of spreading out Cotchery's cap hit, which shows how truly dire Carolina's cap situation is. For the moment, Cotchery is Carolina's No. 1 receiver.

Hard to find an available guy coming off a better season that can definitely make plays AND serve as a role model for the obviously young staff we will have in camp this year working out at WR.

 

Its a two bird-one stone move IMO.  

 

Guy made some sick catches last year, is a huge threat on he goal line despite his size, and is coming off a huge year overall.  He's athletic, mature, not a spotlight guy, still has some wheels and can take it to the house on practically every play based on last year.

 

He's been buried in some bad spots over a lot of his career but he broke out last year in the absence of Miller and Wallace.

 

I am pleased.  This is a quality move in a league where true quality at an affordable price is not so easy to acquire.

 

Keep it up Gett!!

    • I guess so. Don't think I was involved with previous discussions.  Tepper is one of the newest owners in the NFL. Dan is going into his 3rd season as a GM - ever. Dave is going into his 3rd season as a HC - ever. Before becoming a HC, he was an OC/playcaller for one season total. Idzik is about to go into his 1st year as a play caller - ever. WRs are rookies, sophomores and 3rd year guys - though the experienced 3rd year guys are XL and Coker (who has missed a ton of games). TEs are guys going into their 2nd and 3rd seasons, and Tommy Tremble - though Sanders has missed a ton of games. QB has played 3 years. Chuba is an experienced RB, but Brooks and Etienne have taken very little snaps at the position. O-line is more experienced vets with some talent - which is HUGE. Need them to stay healthy. I mean the offense is very young in every aspect except O-line. You see it differently?
    • I said this ALL last season and will say it again this year. Our record means diddly squat this year, I don't care if we have 0 wins or 17 wins, I only care about one thing and one thing only. Bryce proves without a shadow of a doubt that he IS or ISN'T our long term solution at QB. It's the only thing that matters for the same reason it sucks that this is the same thing as last year.  This needs to be determined, and if they can't determine it, then it's still telling the team the answer, just not the one they want to hear. As right now we're in the ultimate QB purgatory, a position that dooms franchises for years.  Just look at a team like the Cardinals, who extended a better QB and it still screwed them over and haven't had a contending team in a long time. People get too caught up on wins and losses when evaluating players, particularly QBs.  When people look at the final record and use that as a reason to want to extend a QB or not is just a fools errand.  If we had lost 2-3 more games last year because we didn't make a last second FG, I genuinely wonder if we would have just moved on from Bryce this offseason (like we should have been doing anyways IMHO).
