Desean Jackson and Ginn would be nice. Doubt Dave is going to admit KB and Funch is not working out though. 

I dont want to give up on funchess yet next year will be the no excuse prove it year 3 for him. much as I love KB, if they feel like it's just not working and they want to explore trades I'm cool with it but I really holding out hope KB is still adjusting to the league and just needs to recover more. and it will technically be year 3 for him too.

I've only watched about 2-3 games on each, but Martellus has stood out most. He absolutely owned Chandler Jones in week 1. 

 

 


Well blocking would be the main skill I would like to see in a 2nd TE. Bennett is way out of our price range most likely. Need a more under the radar guy

The Panthers have around $50 million in cap space going into next year, I don't think any player is really out of the price range. It depends on Gettleman's personal balance of cost vs benefit. Even more cap space would be available if Oher retires.

True. Bennett paired with Olsen sounds mighty enticing...give us ALL the former Bears tight ends!

Until he proves me wrong, I have no faith in Gettleman signing anyone of significance other than fillers. Even doubting KK staying at this point.

I understand we were in cap hell before. But this season we were coming off a SB berth and in a position to bring in some help. He did the opposite and then poo'd the bed in the draft.

Even the Giants have spent money when they thought they needed to. So I have to trust that he will try to go against his ways to at least sign some players in FA.

    • I sure do miss the days of having guys like Cam, Luke, Peppers, Olsen, Steve Smith etc who were faces of the franchise and could dominant games. I hope we can soon find and develop future faces of the franchise like the past guys and find a strong identity with some game changers on defense.
    • 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, the overall cap percentage 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
