Pro Football Spot's FA prospects for Panthers & some of my own thoughts

[mbarbour21]

That's an interesting thought. Not only cap wise, upside wise, and value wise (inasmuch at it relates to relative productivity, particularly in our offense, along with the opportunity costs related to our ability to fill other holes): Nicks plus Britt is greater than Cobb.

I'll have to consider that.

We know Getts is a huge value guy. You have to look at what each guy is worth and what they will settle for. Nicks+Britt would probably be a better deal than just Cobb.(cap-wise) But let's not forget that Cobb is younger and has return ability. At the end of the day it will depend on the value Getts places on them. Sometimes less is more. Cha-cha-cha!

I know Getts is a value guy, but I hope he makes one 'splash' this FA.  I don't mean Revis or Demaryius Thomas splash, but one that locks down a position with a young talented player in his prime, that truly eliminates a need. Rather than gambling on Avant, I'd rather bring in Smith.  Instead of swinging for Cason or DeCoud, let's get Culliver, Maxwell or Thurmond. Bye-bye Chandler/Bell experiment, hello King Dunlap.

 

Above all, I think Gettleman has to give Newton at least two weapons.  Whether that's Cameron/Dunlap, Torrey Smith/Knowshon - whatever.  Newton has been patient for four years, and with his pending contract and Shula's carte blanche privileges, we have to help the young QB out.

 

Again, not implying spending spree because that is not going to happen here.  But with the way Getts drafts, we don't need quantity of free agents, rather quality.
