I want CJ to get reworked, don't wanna rely on a rookie  starting opposite kony. Maybe grab another vet DE to add to the rotation

William Hayes.  These links literally about make my pants move.

He could save $11m by cutting CJ.

However, the $4m dead money would hurt--if we rework his deal--a three year deal around $18m, Keeping CJ this year would only cost the Panthers an additional $2m if you look at it that way.   Curse you, Marty Hurney.

Cursed on Hurney no doubt but I say cut the ties.  His production isn't worth the money we would be paying him.   I realize he is good against the run but IMO his sacks are declining in a hurry and we can find better, younger.

Good point.  Whatever happens, I trust Gettleman completely.

I think Coleman would be a solid SS anyway, and that was where he projected to play when Gettleman signed him. Wouldn't be surprised to see Coleman make the move, and if a bigger-name safety was signed it be an FS.

Eric Weddle would be great.

G-Man is gonna send Johnson packing and Allen is already retired. We desperately need a starter opposite Ealy. We need to make a run at Vernon or JPP. I hope to god we're not relying on a rookie to start because no one from the draft is starter material right out the gate.

William Hayes from the Rams. NC native. Filled in good for Chris Long. Shouldn't be expensive.

I for one was surprised that all five of the suggested moves were on the defensive side of the ball although that was definitely the older side of the ball.

Personally, I'd put OT adding competition/depth and adding a true slot WR in the top 5. For a slot WR, we need someone who is both quick and fast, gets open consistently, and has good hands.

Getting the ball out of Cam's hands quickly has to be a priority next season, because every team in the league is going to try to defend us like Denver.  And while no other teams have that unique collection of talent, it means that Cam is certainly going to see more pressure and take more hits. So we need a slot WR who can consistently beat man coverage.  I suggest Pharoh Cooper in the 2nd round, but I'm a bit biased there.

I don't know who Bill Barnwell is but this is a pretty good article. I can't disagree with any of it. Surely Allen announced his retirement after this was posted. 

Out of the 5 points he makes; restructuring CJs contract would be huge. Not sure I see that happening but could you imagine if it did!?

Is CJ the last of the fuged up Hurney contracts or is there still another?

5. I think they will move Coleman to SS and start Boston at FS. DG may bring in some FA competition but it would be a below the radar type signing.

[CatMan72]

FS and SS are basically interchangeable in our scheme so we can bring in a physical FS to play SS. Keep an eye on Weddle, his former association with Rivera and desire to play for a contender make Carolina an attractive destination.

best bet his cut charles johnson and just draft a new de or maybe double dip like we did with dt

Get Cam to have OBJ demand a trade to the Panthers and let's ball the fug out

Stewart and Kalil.

Although both of them can at least play at a high level.

Yes, I'm sure that he would get along swimmingly with our defensive personnel.
