Antonio Cromartie wants to come to Carolina

[Jeremy Igo]

In a recent twitter conversation, cornerback Antonio Cromartie confirms he would like to be in Carolina... 

 

In the tweet he seems to indicate there has been no interest returned his way, however. "Interest fro both sides" is apparently not there. 

With the departure of Boykin yesterday, I highly doubt another veteran journeyman is signed to the Panthers roster. Dave Gettleman appears to be wanting to rip the bandaid off of the "rotating 1 year deal veteran player in the defensive backfield" issue. 

If the Panthers ever wish to be truly special, they need their own guys in the secondary. Guys that have bought into the team long term and have been brought up within the system. 

If Boykin's release is any indication, the Panthers think they have found those players in Bradberry, Worley, and Sanchez.

makes a lot of sense to me: a workable veteran with experience with Rivera in San Diego? Then again, Boykin made a lot of sense to me too. So what do I know. Then again, it's tough to see Carolina picking up a journeyman after they just dropped before even seeing him in training camp. I really am flabbergasted (aye, flabbergasted) by us cutting Boykin.

Gettleman should sign him and then cut him right before training camp

I wonder if they are going to try to extend Coleman? A two or three year extension, for him, would help solidify that secondary as well.

Cromartie's problems always begin with coming where he shouldn't.

I try to name all of the backup olinemen which leads to some internal discussion. "....williams, Scott, folkerts.... Wait. Do we still have folkerts? No, I think he is gone... Hmm when did we let him go? I wonder if my wife will see if I pull my phone out and check...."

I can't see us getting him . Why would we get him now when we had the chance to get him before we signed boyking?

[Khyber53]

No way in the world do we need him.

[Captain Obvious]

me too. can you sign me for 2 months, give me $80000 then cut me? I won't complain about our family locker room. I promise.

I was going to post this yesterday, but couldn't find the Tweet.  Oh well.

i just dont see it happening not after Gman's hired gun comment, maybe if one of the young kids gets hurt.

[Zaximus]

Sign him for cheap, so we can cut him a month later.
