Voth's sources: Panthers have no intentions of signing second wave free agents

[0DegreesKelvin]

So many whiners. Who would you rather sign to a contract?

Cam and Luke?

Or a big name receiver or tackle this year that will eat up all of the cap for future extensions?

Gettleman has a plan for the future.

Bup Bup Bup

[Frizzy350]

To can find some great deals at goodwill.

Right? Amiright?

Ask Macklemore.

$50 for a T-shirt is just some ignorant bitch poo.

[Ricky Spanish]

Please tell me we haven't resorted to this already

Oh, and we already find a backup OT, his name is michael Oher. What we need is a starter.

 

When your starter last year was Byron Bell, anyone you sign to fill the roster spot becomes an immediate upgrade and starter.

I'm okay with the Oher signing because it's a cheap prove it type contract.

 

But when we have a franchise QB, I think we should set the bar a little higher than just simply being better than Byron Bell.

Meh, I think most of you are looking at this the wrong way. You have a handful of teams that MUST overspend to meet their cap obligations. Basically they are distorting the FA market this year. You do not want to get into a bidding war for players against Monty Brewster. (Richard Pryor film where he had to spend $30Million in 30 days to inherit $300M)

[Pox 08]

13 mil. Not even enough to sign our r [kies and extend luke and cam.

 

or sign extend Star and KK in a couple years..........  or extend our guards in about 3 years..  or  even sign this years class of rookies to extensions in 4 to 5 years.

Seattle's rise is due to very good drafting (Sherman, Okung, Thomas III, Chancellor, Wilson, Wagner) and smart trades (Lynch). FA plays a very small role in what they've done.

Trades are the same as picking a player up in FA. Yet we don't trade either...

[Mol3m4n]

I've started a list of people who should cheer for a different team. It's crazy how quickly it grows once FA starts.

I want a copy.

[Malt Liquor]

championship teams are built through the draft. Not through free agency's.

[heel31ok]

I understand the concern. We did not even post a winning record last year and our front office appears happy with status quo.

I can't help but wonder if we would be so complacent in FA if we had missed the playoffs like we were supposed to with a sub 500 record.

 

we are in the NFC south no need to go crazy, we will make playoffs again and everyone will be happy. we are playing horse shoes and hand grenades right now.

[bandu]

free agency this year makes me want to yawn...meh, and who wants to spend money on a WR whenever you have a good array of talented WR to choose from in this upcoming draft.DG is a stud in the draft if you infuse his two previous drafts and I have confidence in his ability to evaluate talent.my only concern right now is addressing our need at LT...somehow...some way...some day...please...hell I will be happy with average.

[fjblair]

Everything comes in time. Gettleman will get it done.  Not even worried.

 

Yeah because of his long and brilliant track record of success as a GM. LMAO.

 

You should be worried. He has done very little to merit that kind of trust.

[pstall]

Some here feel like the guy who was dragged by his wife or gf to wake up at 3am on Black Friday and wait in the cold in a long line with crazed shoppers and once you got in all that was left was a hair dryer and a remote controlled hole punched.

[fjblair]

Our team was 7-8-1.

Once again, our fanbase's failure to comprehend that the status quo is not acceptable is rearing its ugly head. Just re-signing role players from a team with that record is not how you get better, it's how you maintain. The reason we struggled early and eventually lost in the playoffs was due to glaring holes that have yet to be addressed appropriately. Ginn is not a #2 WR. Oher shouldn't be the only move we make at tackle.

But, seeing what cheapasses we planned on being after Voth's first report, luckily, I decided to check the huddle every 12 hours or so instead of wasting every waking minute checking if we signed anyone, because we won't.

 

It is the JR way and the norm for the Panthers. Instead of building on a 12-4 team, fat man blew it up and started over with scrubs. Then we have a predictably Panther like season with a gift of a playoff game and the highlight of the off season thus far is resigning a guy we cut last year. It's laughable. Yeah I know Hurney really fuged us with cap thing that no other team has to deal with, lol.

 

I really hope there is some magical scheme for LT because relying on Oher is a huge gamble and we can't plug the hole this year with a draft pick.

 

It's only fair that DG gets this season to put his chips on the table but no more excuses. I hope he pulls it off.
