Irrational & Realistic FA Wishlists

I thought this would be a fun exercise: pick a few free agents you would without a doubt like to see on the Panthers.  You can be realistic or just type up some high paids you'd love to see.  I'm cool with either route.  Maybe even guess who you'd like then who you think is a guy we may get. 

Here's a decent resource with minimal ads: http://www.scout.com/nfl/a.z?s=127&p=9&c=12&nid=83&lnid=83&yr=2016

I'm posing this because I think this is a really spotty class but also believe there's talent to be found, it's just about the where and the one's that may be overlooked at the moment. 

On my end, I've got a few in mind that I like for us: David Bruton (S), Robert Ayers (DE), Marvin Jones (WR), & Mike Harris (OT/G)  

What say you?

I really want Jeffery, but he may want Dez money or around that.  I know KB is coming back but it would be great insurance and when Jeffery's contract was coming up KB's would be as well.

I would like Hardy back, but it's not happening.  

I really think we need to work on offensive line and stack the WR core.   I think we draft a DE to go with Ealy and also use Addison/rotation on the other end.  

I'd like to keep Norman and resign Short.

I think Gettleman has proven he can fill in defense with value signings and picks.

I think it's time we make a "smart" splash in Jeffery.  I'm not saying sign everyone, but that would be a great pickup.

Jeffery is one of the most injury prone players I've ever seen. Not like Gronk where he'll have a season ending injury every other year but he has numerous lingering injuries pretty much the entire season and always misses a few games. He's going to demand a lot and to me it's not worth it. I like him as a player but with KB coming back and Funches and Ginn/Philly I don't see us spending money on him. As far as a "splash" signing goes I could see it at one position only... DE. And even then I still doubt it. I'll be happy if DG continues to do what he's done the past few years. Pick up reasonably priced back-end free agents who fit our culture and scheme and draft BPA and keep our own talent. We made it to the Super Bowl this past year without KB and Bene and we're not losing anybody important. Adding a few more signings and draft picks and continued development from our draft picks from 13, 14 and 15 I think we've got the best shot of anybody at winning it next year.

 

Edit: Want to add I could see us going after Weddle. Not sure if he'd be considered a splash signing at this point but I think it's possible he's a Panther next year, and I really hope so.
