He's from Salisbury, NC so that might give us an inside track to sign him. 

I wonder if he's a boobs man or an ass man

Yeah let’s go after a guy who’s got 8.5 sacks in 6 seasons and only played in 9 games last year and recorded nothing...

In a major overhaul and rebuild, expect Panthers management to execute their own version of 'Moneyball'.  There will a lot of tire-kicking on players that can be had on cheap contracts, that management hopes will outperform their contracts.

There is going to be tons of bargain shopping this year with alot of 1 year deals. Get through the season let that dead money decrease and CAP space increase and shooting for actual rebuild next year.  This year is going to be a wash.

This is what I expected to happen when the rebuild was first brought up by Tepper.  This would be the logical process to follow but with the current brain trust I'm having a hard time following what the process actually is.

It took me a while to connect the dots and realize that 'analytics' = 'Moneyball'.  At least in the area of cap management.  YMMV.
