NFL free-agency ratings: Most impactful moves for all 32 teams - Panthers in the near perfection category

[TheSpecialJuan]

Near perfection

Buffalo Bills

Most impactful move: The Bills made former Chiefs center Mitch Morse the highest paid in the NFL at his position, signing him to a four-year deal that averages $11.1 million per season. He is expected to anchor an offensive line that could have as many as four new starters in 2019 under new O-line coach Bobby Johnson. Buffalo is hoping its offensive line can protect quarterback Josh Allen better in his second season while paving the way for a revival of running back LeSean McCoy's career. 

Key additions: Mitch Morse, center; John Brown, wide receiver; Cole Beasley, wide receiver

Key subtractions: John Miller, guard

---

Carolina Panthers

Most impactful move: Carolina signing arguably the best available center in Matt Paradis to replace retired Pro Bowler Ryan Kalil was big. Paradis has the experience to replace Kalil's leadership and is highly regarded in pass protection. Both are key for quarterback Cam Newton to be effective. With limited salary-cap space, general manager Marty Hurney made the most of his budget in getting Paradis, re-signing tackle Daryl Williams and signing an edge rusher in Bruce Irvin. 

Key additions: Matt Paradis, center; Bruce Irvin, defensive end/outside linebacker; Daryl Williams, offensive tackle

Key subtractions: Matt Kalil, left tackle; Thomas Davis, outside linebacker; Devin Funchess, wide receiver

Yep, with the amount of cap space we had, Hurney 2.0 has done an outstanding job.  Still feel weird saying that though

[Thomas9289]

I love the moves! He has changed my mind about him. 2.0 is the real deal so far.

Been telling you this since he came back. If this trend holds and we have a great draft and a winning season, the Hurney haters may have to suffer for some time.  Same with Rivera.

Its pretty common for us to have a winning season after a losing one. 

Now back to back winning seasons? thats a different story entirely...

Yep... I'm usually a homer, but this will always be a sticking point for the existing regime until we can change this... 

That being said, any objective observer should be happy with the offseason thus far.

It isn't about a winning season. I told you Hurney had changed and learned from his prior stint as GM and was working hard to redeem himself. Everyone kept piling on and complaining about years ago. Just like usual, I was right again. It isn't hard when you try to be objective rather than have an agenda and select only those facts which fit your already made up.mind. Without the injury to Cam this would be the back to back winning season.

It seems that the further removed from JR we get, the more he was the one actually pulling the strings and Hurney was his fall guy.

I said that in 2010 when Richardson screwed us dumping vets and going cheap. After that 2-14 season fans were so angry and disenchanted, Hurney was forced to overpay to retain Johnson and Williams to demonstrate the Panthers weren't Tampa Bay and we're willing to pay money for impact players. For his part Hurney seriously misjudged the cap which was supposed to rise but instead  first contracted and then stayed flat. Then he doubled down with horrendous draft choices.  I always wondered whether Richardson pushed for Edwards because he was a local hero despite totally not being an NFL quality player.

Uh, did u watch the second half of last season?  We sucked. Our defense was terrible. He resigned Olsen who can’t stay healthy and he has been solid,  just solid.  Don’t start giving Hurney blow jobs quite yet.

Also, anybody walking around saying “I called it, I was right again” is a douchebag and probably has a very small penis...just stop.

What an exaggeration. If you don't count the Steelers debacle we lost the majority of those games by a touchdown or less. That is hardly sucking. Cam just couldn't come up big when it counted at the end of the game as his pain.level increased. Considering how limited Cam was, Norv did a great job making up for it and Rivera really helped the defense once he took over.  You are one of the agenda directed posters  I was talking about. I look forward to all the ongoing whining and complaining  as Hurney and Rivera do a great job this year.  Can't understand how you can call yourself a Panther fan with such a negative outlook almost wishing we fail.

Don’t patronize me.  LOL.  BTW...most NFL games are TD or less.

I will gladly eat crow about Hurndog. I was baffled we brought him back, but so far, these two offseans have been solid. He has done real well.
