with less than 20 mil in space and pressing needs at CB , SS, FS?  Its possible I guess but doubtful unless its someone on a very reasonable contract.

yall trying to justify a guy who's going to cost us 5 million with drop issues and worse route running than Ginn who was going to be a free agent anyways commanding 4 million a year at best while making our corner depth even worse.

Yeah tried to tell you no Watkins but u wouldn't listen. Need to change that picture of Watkins now lmao.

Does this mean we’ll cut some Shepard to save that cap?

And got rid of a young CB with talent and size

I have yet to have ever seen talent from Worley.

Nah, Worley was on the way out last year. Might not have made the team this year.

Correct. Which is why they drafted Elder and acquired Seymour in a trade. They were looking for anyone to supplant Worley. Now bc Roseman trades for him and he’s on a rookie deal everyone loves him. This was a salary dump by the Eagles and that’s it. Roseman isn’t planning on giving Worley reps and we just secured a proven deep threat for marginally more than Russell Sheppard. Kudos to Hurney.

 If we weren’t going to move him to Safety, Worley had little to no value for this team. We need an upgrade in coverage ability across the secondary. Especially if we want to blitz a lot like last year. Plus, I doubt Worley would have been agreeable to the move. So no loss. 

  Not a fan of Smith overall, but he fills a specific need very well. He’ll get a ton of DPI calls too. 

 I’m fine with it.

I remember a thread about we us not starting the season with Worley and Bradberry...

Or drafting one. Adding a vet in Smith means that another WR in the draft could be had if the right fit without the group being too inexperienced as a whole.

[panthers55]

Smith was a good pickup. I wanted Wallace and still do. Imagine Smith, Wallace and Funchess as your front line with Olsen and McCaffrey out of the backfield. Cam would have a field day.  Time to get creative Hurney and get my another vet receiver and a man cb. Sign Pep to a 2 year deal to save cap and on to the draft. Lots of folks retiring will give us more cap next year when these contracts get larger in year 2.

I'm still worried that Shepard is going to be on the roster.

I have a feeling that the Panthers wanted him to move to safety, but he declined. I remember Hurney saying something about players possibly changing positions last year. They may have even asked him where he would want to play before trading him. He's lucky he gets to play for his home town now, he could be a Brown.

Also some of y'all haven't seen Torrey Smith play since Baltimore 

I did see Shepard play and it can't be much worse.

[Palmetto]

Lets hope he catches more than 2 TDs
