You know who I speak of.....safety, running back, and guard. One of each in no particular order. Hopefully before pre-season. I hope they are not waiting for June cuts just to pick up a bunch of jags. Still a few FA that would certainly help this team. What u got?

 I don’t know that the team feels there’s as big a need at safety and guard as many fans do. So I wouldn’t really expect any big splashes there. 

And at running back, I wonder if they haven’t already had talks with CJ Anderson, but his price tag is a little more than they are willing to pay for a back up. If that’s the case, we are probably waiting until tomorrow or after cuts to find someone to compete with CAP.

They DEFINITELY need a veteran safety. Really the last key position they need to fill. Can't go into the season with what they have at safety or this is 2016 all over again.

I don't see another guard being brought in. They've got a bunch of guys that'll be in the mix at LG already. Sirles has experience, Silatolu has started games at LG (not a great option but he has) lot of hype around Dorian Johnson, maybe they give Larsen a look, Moton will be in the mix. I think someone will emerge from that group and grab the LG spot.

I'm way more concerned about the depth at tackle. If Daryl Williams or Matt "speedbump" Kalil go down, the depth behind them is almost non-existent. Bunch of cast offs from other teams practice squads from what I can see. From the Panthers depth chart it looks like Amini Silatolu is being listed as a tackle. So I'd definitely like to see them bring in a veteran tackle because if Amini is starting at LT, Cam is going to die.

Searcy and Colin Jones have been in the league since 2011 and we know how old Adams is. Are you saying they need a veteran or a BETTER veteran?

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.

      Not a chance the SEC could compete with the NFL.  In the large cities that are not in the Southeast, (LA, NYC, Chicago, SF) College football is an afterthought.
