Pretty sure we'd either have to restructure or cut somebody to pay what he would likely cost.

Gantt did say we're not done looking at corners, for what that's worth.

I would like to hear that we had a decent true FS in mind. I know we might not have 2 great CBs but we have a lot of them. Seems like we're really lacking FSs though unless I'm forgetting someone. Or we have a player listed somewhere else who can play that role.

Our defense headed for '83 Bears territory if we get Fuller.  Not quite, but I like the way things are headed.

Why ‘83? So we can be 8-8?

[Mr. Scot]

Diana Russini says the Bears tried to get him to take what she called "a VERY significant pay cut" and he refused.

Doesn't sound like he'd have much interest in signing a team friendly deal.

how much cap space do we have left?

Quality little thing like the cap deter you?  Hell I'm starting to get that all in fever Tepper's spreading around.

[Panthers Rhule]

Just looked at his current salary, if we have the space and he'll take a similar offer then yeah we should definitely take a shot. He's been a solid player for years and still under 30. He would make another good addition to our new defense.

 

If they wanted him to take a pay cut then perhaps we could get him for 4-5 mil a year? I have no idea how much space we have right now though.

 

But I must say I'm liking this off season so far. Regardless of what happens at QB I'm feeling good about heading into next season.

It’s worth making a push for Fuller. Panthers were in on CB Michael Davis from the Chargers before he re-signed. 

[Wolfcop]

I would pay him 10M. With a strong CB, this defense starts to look solid.

Yes--now you don't have Jackson or Pride on the #1.  They get better as they take on lesser WRs.  So signing 1 player makes 3-4 players better.

Sigh, first Steve Smith, then Cam Newton, and now JJ Jansen?!

Make this deal and close up shop.  We can get the rest in the draft.

Is he making 10 mil a year? I saw something about 4.5 mil
