2017 FAs that will improve this team...

Both Glenn and Armstead have already signed big long term extensions.

The LT FA class is complete trash this year. Click the LT tab here: http://overthecap.com/free-agency/

Andrew Whitworth is the best by far but he is 34 years old and declining. The rest are terrible unless you think Matt Kalil is salvageable.

The two that are good aren't going anywhere. Villanueva is an EFRA which means there is zero chance he leaves Pittsburgh since all they have to do is offer the minimum and he can't leave. Nsekhe also seems to be pretty good but he is an RFA and Washington isn't going to let him leave since a cheap 2nd round tender will guarantee he stays.

There are some decent RT's though, but that's not really the position that needs to be filled with Williams showing improvement.

The worst thing is you have access to so much information and you didn't do any research. A simple search on overthecap or spotrac and you could've seen an updated list of 2017 free agents.

As for what I believe the Panthers are missing are numerous but #1 for me is a legitimate 2nd TE, particularly one who can run block effectively. The free agent class for TE's actually has some talent this year. 

  1. Martellus Bennett(NE) - Probably a pipe dream but he's a hell of a player.
  2. Jack Doyle(IND) - The Colts who just spend good money on Dwayne Allen might not spend on Doyle.
  3. Vance McDonald(SF) - May be a better athlete than Greg and I've seen good things about his run block.

    • People comparing this deal to CMC, Williams, or Stewart is laughable, and I'll break the numbers down as to why: In 2020 We made CMC the highest paid RB ever. We gave him a $64 million over 4 years with $38 million guaranteed. That's $16 million on average. In 2011 we extended Williams, then in 2012 we extended Stewart. These extensions were 12 and 13 years ago: Williams - 5 years, $43 Million, $25 Million Guaranteed, Average of $8.6 Million per year Stewart - 5 years, $36 Million, $23 Million Guaranteed, Average of $7.3 Million per year Let me do the math for you: The Salary Cap in 2020 when we Signed CMC was $198.2 Million. CMC accounted for 8% of our total cap that season. The Salary Cap in 2012, when we had both Williams and Stewart under contract, was $120.6 Million. Those two combined to take up 13.1% of our total cap that season. Without the cap going up next season (and it will) Chuba is taking up 3.2% of our total cap. That's it. Not only are we paying Chuba HALF of what we were paying CMC per year, and LESS than what we paid Williams over a decade ago, shows how much less significant the contract extension is compared to those other moves. I really am not following how people are calling this contract a "big" money contract on a running back and a waste of cap space. This is a solid starting RB contract in the modern NFL.
    • Yeah Brown was shown to be a lot more important even in his second year 
    • I remember some of those poor showings by Peppers but even in those times I don't feel like Brian Burns would be anywhere close to his level. Peppers was better than Burns in every way. I've never seen Burns even once show that he could take an entire game over and severely affect the outcome and for the money he wanted I sort of expect him to have that Peppers ability. I know our defense is weak now but I'm still glad he is gone and so happy we didn't pay him that monstrous contract he wanted.
