Is There Any Way We Could Get Earl Thomas, Richard Sherman, or Josh Norman this Offseason?

Secondary was a ridiculous problem this season. Bradberry and Worely regressed horribly with the exception of the Vikings and Packers games, and our saftey play was attrocious. Somethings gotta give whether that be us signing a quality free agent and/or getting some fresh faces in from the draft, particularly at saftey. 

My thinking was we could draft a guy like Daeshon Elliot (S from Texas) , Justin Ried (from Stanford) , or Ronnie Harrison (from Bama) , or a litany of other safteys this 2018 draft in round 2-4. \

Then maybe we could get a really good free agent or trade for a great secondary player?  I know these guys I mentioned in the title  are not scheduled to be free agents in 2018 ,  but could we possibly trade for one of them or possibility one gets cut? I'm not very informed on how these things work. Seattle looks like they are ready to impload and I can imagine they could be getting rid of 1 or 2 of their marquee defenders just to make more space and help out the oline/offensive talent more. 

I was curious after people were mentioning that we could trade for Josh Gordon. 

 

Everybody here trying to draft people instead of spending money. you dumb.

well after accounting for draft picks the team could have less than 17 mil in total cap space. And thats before possibly paying Star or Norwell. Draft is pretty important especially because we haven't drafted a saftey since tre boston a number of years ago . Cant go for that long ignoring a position for multiple years draft wise without studs out there is a recipe for disaster and we experienced that first hand this past season.

People tend to forget Dave isn’t our GM anymore

I don't know who you intended to quote, but I didn't say Dave. I've been a fan since before the Panthers even played a game, so you might want to just go away now.

Nice to see yall have arrived on the Elliott train 

[Eazy-E]

Terrell Edmunds 

[beastson]

I want Kyle Fuller, Tre Boston and TJ Ward

Or Kyle Fuller and Tre Boston, draft Ronnie Harrison

I don't think Derwin or Fitzpatrick fall to 24

[Ship]

We need to draft a safety rounds 1 or 2.

not as down on our CBs as others. This was a sophomore slump season and we’ll know more this next season. I think we draft a developmental/under the radar guy in rounds 3-5 to add depth/competition and see what happens. Hurney found Norman, maybe he can do it again.

we need to add a solid DE to help upgrade the rotation and help the secondary without blitzing.

[WOW!!]

Is that number accounting for cuts?

Kenny Vaccaro and Carlton Davis, Joshua Jackson or Denzel Ward would take this defense to another level. 

Man we could get CD, I would be ecstatic, being a UA fan. CD however you have to let him play physical, he can do zone, but he's best at man press. I don't think we'll be drafting CB in the 1st 2 rounds though. If we go defense it'll probably be S

[mc52beast]

Sherman’s best days are behind him

Thomas wants to be a member of America’s Most Wanted

Norman said he wants to play for Gettleman

[CatMan72]

Hurney makes bringing Norman back a possibility... but he would have to be cut and we'd have to be willing to pay a pretty penny for him.

If we make a splash at a guy in the FA, our secondary and WR groups make sense.  Coach was talking about bringing in new guys at the skill spots and I think he means secondary as much as WR.  I like the DeShon Elliott talk but if we're strictly looking FA:

-I don't see the Rams being able to keep both LeMarcus Joyner and Trumaine Johnson (Johnson is a pipe-dream, will be getting a NICE contract, but one of the best corners in the game and 28) He's an ideal target.

-Eric Reid suffered through some injuries recently and Tartt has emerged in San Fran that could make him expendable.  Would be huge at safety here and is only 26.

-I also think Terrence Brooks has been stuck on stacked rosters and would make a fins starting safety.

who do you think the Panthers will realistically cut and free up alot of money? The two players that would free up the most cap space by cutting would be Olsen  (save 6,750,000) and R.Kalil (save 7,500,000 holy fug!) , there's no way either are going anywhere. 

Right now I can only think of 

• 2,150,000 Russell Shepard (No brainer, shouldnt be anywhere near this team next year b/c he cant catch a damn cold)
• 3,750,000 Jonathan Stewart (Coaching staff seems overally emotionally attached , highly doubt it)
• 2,750,000 Kurt Coleman (He should be cut, but our lack of saftey depth probably means hes not going anywhere)
• 3,500,000 Charles Johnson (No brainer unless the staff are idiots) 
• 2,100,000 Mike Adams (Simular to Coleman, I think one of them gets cut I guess)

 

I mean if we go into rebuild mode and cut almost everyone above then sure wed have some decent space. But the trend of the Panthers has pretty much forever been blind loyalty to current roster guys, build through draft, and sign fa to cheap deals . Maybe there's room to hope itll change with JR not being here and maybe Hurney will be more cutthroat and efficient at roster /cap management .
