Here's our free agents

[WUnderhill]

Please let Bell sign somewhere else. We know Ron will be tempted to play him if he's on the team.

[Captain Morgan]

If we don't re-sign a single player on that list, we'll be just fine. No real current game changers. Decent players but outside of Dwan and Ed, nobody who really contributes

 

 

 

agreed.  We are really set up well this year in that regard.  Let's us use our meager cap funds to extend Cam and maybe even Luke this year,  while doing some shopping for better players than we've been able to bring in the last 2 years, 

which is kind of exciting.  It also means so much of our o and d will be returning, which should lead to a faster start.

 

we certainly saw the last 2 years that it takes teams with lots of new players some time to fit together.

 

We'll need to keep one of the DT's to keep the rotation fresh.  Might be able to afford both for one more season.

I can't lie, Bell has contributed, he sucks, but he contributed to the best of his ability (which isn't much).  I think Bell should be brought back, but only as a backup to provide depth.

[Ricky Spanish]

Just because the DTs are old doesn't mean they can't contribute. Having them in the rotation has been great the past two years. If they can sustain their level of play I see no reason why they shouldn't be brought back at a cheap vet contract.

 

As for Bell... Backup money. No more. He would provide solid depth, but that's it.

[Killa Cam 69]

I wonder if Webb could be a number 2 qb one day

[Gallagher]

I see Dwan Edwards and Byron Bell as our most important FAs. That being said, inking Cam to a long term contract is more important than the both of them.

[Navy_football]

Dickson isn't good. I would like an upgrade at te2.

 

I just re-watched the Cardinals game and it was as I suspected. Dickson really is not that good. He has below average ball skills - even for a TE. Brandon Williams looks much more comfortable catching the ball than Dickson. The youth movement will be complete when Swole takes Dickson's place.

 

On the pass that Cam overthrew him on the wheel route, Dickson slowed down coming out of his move on the defender. If he keeps running full speed, that ball hits him in the hands - probably at head level. He isn't as hungry as we need in that position. Probably 2-3 other passes that game he could have been caught if he was a real receiver.

[YoungPanthers89]

Dwan and Bell would be fine if they don't try and sign elsewhere and raise the price tag. Let swole bones be the 2nd TE next year.

[WCUcats]

That's a great looking list especially considering the we have something like 27mil coming off the books in dead money this off season. We should have the money to make some actual moves and build around a core team that's already solid. 

 

Looking at the NFCS we seem to be putting ourselves in a position to dominate the conference. The have the a chance to run train on the NFCS like the Colts have been doing in the AFCS. 

 

Might just be a good time to be a panthers fan... Finally 

[R0CKnR0LLA]

Really great looking list, we're set up very nicely for the future. We can basically re-sign any of our free agents (other than Hardy) for the bare minimum.

 

I'd like to keep Velasco, he did a solid job starting. Significantly better than Amini at least. He's a good cheap depth player. Probably Dwan also. Other than those two I wouldn't miss anyone. Personally, I don't want to keep Bell, even as a backup.

[WCUcats]

I can't lie, Bell has contributed, he sucks, but he contributed to the best of his ability (which isn't much).  I think Bell should be brought back, but only as a backup to provide depth.

I agree. We should keep Bell for as little as possible and draft a OT in the first or second round. 

 

We can use Bell as a backup, or for risk mitigation in case the rookie busts. 

[Anybodyhome]

Dickson isn't good. I would like an upgrade at te2.

 

Cuz Dickson dropped that wide open pass going down the right side Saturday ***.................oops, wait................

[ed bell]

We gotta keep Webb, who's gonna chase down Devon Hester?

[SurvivalSloth]

In a perfect world...we get to keep Hardy (not trying to be a dead horse here) and make room for Swole Bones to get a firm grasp on the TE2 position. Watching Brandon Williams over the years has been a real treat and I'm ready to see him step up and become a part of this offense. He's too physically gifted to only be used on special teams.
