[Person] Panthers were also in on DL Denico Autry and CB Michael Davis. Probably a good indicator of where they'll look today and in coming days

I think Leonard Williams could be the FA prize. I didn't think the Panthers would spend big money at DT but after cutting Kerr I think it's a possibility. They have to have a DT lined up to sign today after cutting him this late in the game.

He's franchise tagged.

The Leonard Williams that got franchise tagged by the Giants? You think Gettleman is going to pull another "yank the tag offer" move late in the offseason?

Young and talented? Not our style. We could go after Artie Burns...he tore his acl, so he fits our preferred profile.

You'd think with the Fitterer/Seattle connection, the Panthers would either be the first team to jump into the mix to sign Griffin, or it's telling if he's getting let go by Seattle AND the Panthers aren't interested....he's good but inconsistent from what I've read/seen about him.

Yep injured guys!

That's about all they can afford to sign this year.  It's a gamble they decided to take apparently. Sign guys who may be good but have had injuries in the past.  These guys will be cheaper than the guys everyone is clamoring for.  It's a sad reality that most or ignoring.

Perhaps we just don't want to pay the price of admission for him.

I would say that, but Panthers have done this for almost 27 years.

I would honestly have just preferred to go heavy OL in the draft. I suppose we will see how that works out. We would need depth guys, regardless.

It's a new regime, so I'm trying to not let my ingrained fear from the past 2 decades to cloud my perspective on what they are "trying" to do with the team.  It will take a couple of seasons to determine if it's just more of the same.

Well, it might only take one season. I can understand the one season "denial" buffer though. I remember looking back wistfully on the "Hurney 2.0" buffer year, the "Riverboat Ron" buffer years, the "Gettlemagic" buffer years, the "John Fox" buffer years......

Good times.

That's why I'm not going to label anything as good or bad.  I'm just trying to determine what the actual plan is going forward.  Whether it works out or not will take some time to figure out.

      Dan Morgan on Rich Eisen show

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Lol.  Now you make me defend DG. We had the best IOL in the league under DG and Oher looked solid until he got that bad concussion. DG drafted Moton and Daryl Williams as well. The OL fell apart under Hurney 2.0 and Fitterer. DG also drafted Star and Short. Sorry, but that was all in 5 drafts so let’s not make stuff up about not trying to improve hog mollies. Gettleman did a ton wrong and took the wrong guys, but he and Rivera had a deep and talented team and it got blown up really quickly. Also, I love Cam but he wasn’t the best QB in the league. He had the best year in 2015 but he wasn’t Brady. I think Dan has had a solid offseason, way better than last year but I’m not putting on rose colored glasses until we actually have a 10 win season. Again, Dave and Ron had 3 10+ wins seasons out of 5.

      Off Topic: Remember Ron Rivera on "All or Nothing"?

      Yeah I wont often comment on a coddled generation and participation trophies but this sort of begs for it. Also how did an athlete achieve at that level without getting a thicker skin?

      Dan Morgan on Rich Eisen show

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Right, basically what I said. Dude is crowning Dan after a 5-12 season and 1 draft, which as of right now, wasn’t good. I wasn’t judging Morgan at all. People read what they want to read like that I loved Gettleman and think he was awesome. Nope. All I said is that it’s way too freaking early to act like Morgan is amazing. I used the Gettleman/Rivera record just like I mentioned that Rhule almost beat both #1 seeds in this first year. Morgan/Canales’ team would need to win 11 a year to get to a similar record as Gettleman/Rivera’s first 5. If you are going to given Morgan a pass for bad talent, we were 15-33 the 3 years prior to Gettleman/Rivera. Again, I think all of us want this team to win again but maybe I’m a little jaded in thinking that I enjoyed 2013-2017 a helluva a lot more than 2018-2024 and I’m not a fan of smoke getting blown up my ass like we have already back.
