NFL Free Agency Update Thread

Probably

their depth chart is only Colston-Stills-Cooks-Toon and assorted practice squad bodies

Yeah, 22 years old and basically had a 1000 yard season last year. Man would I love to have him!

I just heard a guy on WFNZ in the Green Bay area literally say the one thing he seen when we played GB last season that the Panthers do not have is play makers for Cam. At least someone who follows a winning team is in agreement with me.

 

Yes, you savant you.  You are one of the exclusive few who have figured out that the Panthers need more receiving weapons for Cam Newton.  How did you ever figure this out?  It's not like it's one of the most popular topics of conversation about the Panthers both on this forum and in the media.

Of course it is obvious just waiting for someone to come up with a reason of why we are doing nothing to fix it. I personally think DG dislikes Cam.

Am I living in some twilight zone?  I completely understand why the Lions didn't want to pay Suh as if he's an elite QB, but is the NFLN really trying to sell people on the idea that a 31 year old Haloti Ngata coming off of a season in which he was suspended for a banned substance is equal to or perhaps even superior to Suh on the field?

 

Dafuq?

 

Suh averages 7 sacks per season.  Ngata averages under 3.  Suh averages 36 tackles per season.  Ngata averages 31.  Ngata is a space eater for the Lions if he isn't washed up, but he's nowhere near the disruptive force that Suh is.

I'm just waiting for people to realize that we're less than 24 hours into free agency and there's still an entire NFL draft that lies ahead.

Only if you do first. At least give me an argument against it or add something to it. Just passing along a message from a guy who is following a team that has actually won SBs.

Suh just cost way too much money and the Lions at least got a good player back even if he is aging. Suh will be a bad signing for Miami.

This relates directly to our FA because I am wondering why we are signing no play makers to go opposite of Kelvin. I think I am free to express how I feel about the FA so far in this Update Thread.

Way too much.

[Mr. Scot]

If Boykin is the answer the Panthers have at the number 2 WR we are no doubt scoring more FGs instead of more TDs. I just heard a guy on WFNZ in the Green Bay area literally say the one thing he seen when we played GB last season that the Panthers do not have is play makers for Cam. At least someone who follows a winning team is in agreement with me.

 

Nobody who knows the game thinks Boykin is being signed to be the #2 receiver.

 

He's expected primarily to be signed as a special teams guy, maybe depth, and frankly could wind up just being a camp body.

 

Throw in that free agency isn't over tomorrow.  We have plenty of time, and after the initial frenzy the prices tend to go way down.

 

Amazing that we spent so much time ahead of time on this board discussing how silly it would be to overreact within the first hours of free agency, and yet people still went ahead and did it

I have seen nothing to show he dislikes Cam.

Oh yeah.  A guy who's repeatedly said "this is out franchise quarterback" must really dislike him

And we are free to tell you how silly your opinion is.

This.  For most teams, their bottom of the roster guys contribute on special teams.  Last year, we had a bunch of bottom of the roster type WRs who didn't contribute on special teams - I'm talking about Cotchery, Avant, Bersin, and Brown.  Those are #4 type WRs at best.  That isn't acceptable.  Look at Boykin not as a potential #2, but perhaps a potential replacement for a guy like Bersin.
