The final missing piece on offense, lets get it done!

Yeah I'm thinking even if the Panthers aren't interested , if its any sort of betting war of offers then there's 0 chance we're picking him up since Olsen's posted 3 1000 yard seasons in a row and managed to stay healthy. I think its risky not drafting or bringing in a TE in free agency but I somehow doubt the Panthers organization feels the same way

Barnidge is pausing his search for a new team and going to Louisville for this weekend’s Kentucky Derby. Mike Garafolo of NFL Media reports that once Barnidge is done watching the ponies, he may visit with the Jaguars and Panthers.

The Panthers were Barnidge’s first NFL stop after they drafted him in the fifth round of the 2008 draft and he spent four years in Carolina before moving on to Cleveland. He played in all but one game during his time with the Panthers, but didn’t get much work as a receiver with 18 catches over that span.

He would give Cam Newton another weapon on offense after the arrival of running back Christian McCaffrey and wide receiver Chris Godwin in the draft. Carolina has Greg Olsen at tight end as well, of course, while Jacksonville currently has Marcedes Lewis and Mychal Rivera at the top of their depth chart. Barnidge has shown more as a receiver the last couple of years, which might be appealing as they try to build up a team that can win now.

I would need to see the details, but if this were to happen, it'd be a very very interesting tell about Panthers top brass.

If the Bills are involved, that means they'll jump ahead of us and sign him.

Not sure if we can get 14 weapons on the field at once, but sign em all, right?

Chance to be on SB contending team and that happens to be the team that draftedh him! 

More weapons around him means more opportunites for him to make big plays.

Just look what ATL did last year, it was like the Golden State Warriors give the ball to the open man.

When you have everyone involved, defenses can't hone in.

No brainer

Adding another legitimate TE that opposing defenses will remotely show any respect to in their gameplanning should be a top priority. Dickson is done.

[SOJA]

If we sign Barnidge and get a decent backup safety that can play both positions this would be IMO the strongest a Panthers roster has ever been in May

Can confirm there is interest. But how much I am not sure. Might not win a bidding war.

Think cutting Boston for some cap space partially attributed to some interest? Think there's enough cap to fit him in?
