Like Lot of what you did here. 

 

Cuts. 

All but Paradis I like.  Im all aboard for him leaving.  But think we leave him around 1 more year so less to replace on the OL. 

 

Other Cap Moves:

Perfect.  Think this is good what you did.

 

FA signings.

Moton is THE #1 priority.  If he wants 16.5 per, give him 16.5 per.  The difference between Moton and some past big FA guys like Josh Norman that makes him a Must Resign. 

Consistency-  this dude (knocking on wood)  has played more snaps than about any other panther the last 3 seasons.  He's been able to remain healthy and play at a high level, and not just this year, but every year.

 

Samuel- I absolutely love him this year.  But as the reason pointed above with Moton, it goes against with Samuel.  Unless its a sign and trade, let him walk.  7 mil does seem cheap, but that 7 mil may be the difference in extending Moore and/or Anderson the next year who id like even more.  Additionally, you can find a solid slot WR in a mid draft rd, and a TE can alleviate some of that loss as well.

 

Njoku im not touching as he'll go for more than 4.  If we can get Douglas, cool.  But im keeping my eyes on a bigger prize.  This is a GOOD CB crop.  Additionally a Good CB draft class.  Generally deeper draft positional classes keep the FA market down with teams holding out for the cheaper rookie.

 

That said, 2 guys.

Patrick Peterson- who ive seen projected 12 per year tops

And

William Jackson- for around 9.5 per

One of those 2 are my priority after Moton.

 

Draft:

1. QB

2nd: CB- as mentioned above, this is a good CB crop and expect some guys with rd 1 grades to be around for us in the 2nd.  

3rd: Deonte Brown- Big Mauler RG.  He is going to be a stud, but will be around due to him strictly being a RG (NFL scouts love to draft versatile OL)

4th: Charlie Kolar- im packaging and moving back into the 3rd here.  This TE class is deep and can get a stud here.

5th: Daz Newsome- here is your slot.

 

 

Year 2 is to be determined

Expect the draft to more OL focused.  After sitting the new QB a year behind Teddy.  Time to strengthen the OL in time for the new QB

I liked the majority of your suggestions, but please hell no to the Hurney restructuring of Shaq's contract.
