IF we get Britt, I don't want WR in the first. WR is deep, and DG is all about value. We can snag a starting LT in the first round, probably not the 2nd. We could snag a #1 WR in the 2nd. I wouldn't even be opposed to double dipping on the Online.

Britt is a bonified #1,

Britt

Underwood

Cotchery

..the perfect combo IMO.

Got the full package in britt, speed and athleticism in underwood, and the possession, cutch guy in cotchery. GOOD CORPS.

Meanwhile one the Online... NOT GOOD

This stand only if we get britt

Again, Person and Jones are getting abused by other team's beat writers breaking Panthers news. Those guys are horrible. They can't even get a fuging scoop on Tiquan Underwood. Jones has always struck me as a know it all, but it must not be to hard to get a gig at the CO.

Underwood likely isn't going to be as strong as Ginn was.

What I think most disappointing about all this was is how perfectly this off season set us up to take the next step. You don't often get handed the opportunity we did. The draft and free agency were very strong at our 3 most crucial positions of need coming off a big season.

Now were scraping the barrel at those positions hoping to just replenish what we lost there hoping it's as good as what we had so we can get back to homeostasis while the rest of the conference makes significant strides.

Persons is too busy trying to follow March Maddness... Poor guy can't multi-task.

Cotchery/ underwood > lafell/ Ginn IMO.

The point still stands, we are not even done with this part of the roster. Can't judge it until its the finished project.

The problem with the LT position this year is that there's a sizable gap between the first four players and the next four players.

If you're one of those people that believe that there isn't a huge talent disparity between the next four guys (Turner, Moses, Richardson, Kouandijio), you might as well just wait until the second round to take your tackle and take which ever one is available at your pick instead of reaching for one of them when there are better players available at positions of need.

Sorry if this has been posted:

 

Underwood in 4 years before becoming a Panther:

 

42 games, 63 receptions, 1006 yards, 16.0 YPC, 6 TDs

 

Ginn in 4 years before becoming a Panther:

 

56 games, 71 receptions, 838 yards, ~12 ypc, 2 TDs

(Note: HIs most prolific WR years were before this as a Dolphin, but still)

 

edit: Ginn's 6 years before becomin a panther:

88 games, 161 receptions, 2048 yards, 12.7 YPC, 6 TDs

 

I'd say we have a chance of filling Ginn's spot pretty well with Underwood.  Excellent signing, Gettles.

      In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
