Resign Norwell & Star.

*Also Peppes, Byrd, Clay, Palardy, Larsen & Gunter

Everybody else can go.

I like this list, but I think that Star will price himself out of our range (Norwell is more important as we try to re-establish a running game under Norv). All the others should be cheap (Pep will only play in Carolina IF he plays at all). I might add Gano and Dickson if they are willing to work cheap.

We can afford both. Honestly with Stars comments I'm not sure he wants to be back. He basically said I played for the Panthers 5 years because I had to. 

He knows that his earning potential has a shelf life, and he wants to get paid. Who can blame him? If some other team wants to give him more cash, he should take it. That doesn't mean that he doesn't like it here. Players at the end of their careers, like CJ and Pep, can afford to give a home team discount, not someone who's coming off a rookie contract.

I'd say let them both walk. I know that sounds insane, but we would get compensation from picks, and can save that cap for big free agent splash moves, and extending existing players on the team.

I'd have to see the long term impact on the cap for them to really justify this strategy, but we don't want to end like the raiders and cowboys, where we spend a sh*t load on the o line and zero on talent at the skills positions.

I could see that being a very real scenario.

I feel extremely confident about one thing this year:

Somehow, someway, brenton bersin will find a way to play in a panthers jersey next year at some point. Death, taxes, and brenton bersin getting a panthers contract. Those are guarantees in life.

I pray that does not happen.

No particular order:

Gano / Norwell / Peppers / Anderson / Byrd / Larsen / Palardy

The rest IMO I'd like to see new bodies in place, whether it's the 53, or the PS.

Only people we should resign are Norwell, Peppers (If he comes back), Anderson, Larsen, Byrd and Dickson (for the right price). Star can walk, everyone isnt as important as possible FA's in the pool.

He will get paid plenty if he stays. There's a reason he lives in Utah though.

You can pencil in Byrd, Larsen, and Palardy on next year's roster since they are all exclusive rights FA which means they can only play for Panthers unless they are not offered a contract.
