Panthers have had a successful free agency period so far.

Thanks for the postive vibe, Jeremy. I agree and I can't handle all the negativity in March. H2.0 is making some good moves. Let it play out, folks.

We can't expect Hurney to go out and fill every "position of need" with a high-calibur player. Barring injury, the o-line is in really good shape now. Possibly the best it's been since the Gross and Wharton era. 

If Hurney can find an average Nickel and an average FS in free agency, I would give that f'er GM of the year.

Draft young talent dictated by how the pieces fall and the strengths/weaknesses of the draft class, and not based on need - period. No team has above average players at every position. Coaches have to earn their paycheck and coach around a couple of weaknesses and mismatches. That's the job of OCs and DCs - exploit advantages and mask disadvantages.

Cutting kalil and bring in a fs or vet de will open things wide open for the draft

Really solid free agency so far.

Get younger - check

Lose dead weight players - check

Shore up offensive line - check

 

Allows for the Panthers to focus on defense in the draft filled with defensive talent.

 

So far, so good folks. If Cam's shoulder holds up we may have a shot. 

Lost kalil but torrey is dead weight still here. Some will argue shaq too.

I'd say Kalil being let go and freeing up space probably increases the chances Smith has of sticking.

I think you are onto something fren

We can always just cut Torrey whenever we want right? None of his money is guaranteed even after we picked up the option, right?

Correct, his salary is just 5m base with no guarantees.

I'd rather have the space now but being able to open it up with the stroke of a pen should we need it for anything really isn't that bad. I still don't expect him on the 53 week 1 because it can become guaranteed at that point assuming Torrey has yet to use his 1 time early termination pay option.

Kalil's cap savings don't kick in till June.

His money will cover the rookies.

Kalil gone, DW back, and arguably the best interior OL available added? Yep, looking good so far!

[LinvilleGorge]

Give me Adrian Phillips at FS and open the door wide open for an edge rusher or DL at #16.
