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.

I would take Thomas or Josh back in a heartbeat if they hit the market. No to Sherman. I think it's already set to happen that Josh will return here. Just a matter of when--and unfortunately, it sounds like it won't be this offseason.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By Seltzer · Posted

      Mahomes didn't play at all his rookie season. That is one massive thing about his career people have somehow memory-holed. The Chiefs had Alex Smith, and decided the best thing would be to give Mahomes a year to develop (even though Smith wasn't great). And obviously the same with Jordan Love, etc. I wonder how different the narrative would be on Bryce if he hadn't had been put in such dysfunction his rookie season.  If Bryce hadn't seen the field until the 2nd half of this past year, it would be completely different. Regardless the past is the past, the ink is dry, and he gets a chance to have a say in the narrative of his career this year. He has to perform, and I think he will. And I love Cam to death, and while he probably did have better MVP odds going into 2015 than Bryce does going into this season, no one had Cam seriously on the MVP radar going into 2015.

      this off-season, we were the happiest 5-12 fanbase in the league where other similar teams were drowning in their tears, we ended the season with hope and a seemingly upwards trajectory

      All-Time Panthers Rushing - Hubbard should leap CMC & Foster this year

      By Seltzer · Posted

      Every advanced metric has Chuba in the top 10 range last year. I think you're selling him short here. He's not one of the very best backs in the league, but he's earned a spot in that next tier IMO. I definitely think Chuba has proven to be an above average starter. Go look at broken tackles and yards carried over expected. Hubbard would get a lot more buzz if the team were more relevant. Watching Chuba break through 2 tacklers to high step into a game winning TD in OT against the Cardinals was one of the coolest images we've had on offense (besides the Bryce to Tremble pass) in quite a few years. Chuba is almost certainly the best 4th round pick in franchise history. I dont think Chuba has that final gear that CMC or Deangelo Williams had in their prime, but outside of that Chuba is solid as can be.  Chuba still has good speed though. That TD run against the Bears where he blew past their entire secondary showed that. I think watching CMCs preparation showed Chuba as a rookie how much work it took, and to his credit, Chuba has always been one of the last guys off the practice field. Given all the almost comical dysfunction of the Panthers since Tepper bought the team, Chuba really is one of the few true organic successes this team has had. A 4th rounder who has turned into a borderline top 10 RB. I think Chuba deserves all his flowers. And pairing Chuba with Rico Dowdle will low-key give us one of the best 1-2 punches in the league. Both these guys had 1300+ combined yards last season. That doesnt happen without a lot of talent. And while they dont have the same 1st round pedigrees that J-Stew & D-lo had, Chuba & Rico could be the best duo since Double Trouble  Hopefully they perform well enough we give them a nickname
