We've signed a lot of "camp bodies" in past years, is this really that different? 

I would say yes at this point. It looks like we've signed at least 4 starters for cheap next season and maybe a 5th depending on camp. (keep your eyes on Fox), not to mention the OL may start at the beginning of the season by default. (don't give up on this staff's ability to find skills that match the system). 

I personally cannot remember a more strategically precise FA in the last 20 years. Every signing has a reason and a purpose. Will they all pan out? History says no but I like the chances on most of these guys and they are all (except 1) YOUNG!

I think it was 2006.  But we signed Mike Wahl, Keshawn, Ken Lucas, Kemo and I might be missing someone.  We were coming off the NFC Championship loss to Seattle and Jake really had no one to throw the ball to but Steve the year before.  I think that was the year that Wharton started at LT and Gross at RT.  But that was the most big names and active I ever remember us being.  This year we are active, just a lot of WTF is that guy.  

Wahle, Ken, and Kemo all signed prior to 2005. Keyshawn was a knee-jerk acquisition for 2006 following Colbert dropping off a cliff at the end of 2005. That 2005 free agency period though was definitely one of Carolina's most active, especially in terms of big-name signings.

My memory is getting bad.

I would have to dig back further than I care to but relatively speaking it's been comparable to Nipple Shorts first off-season in that there has been some roster churn.  Most was expected, at least by me.  I'm still not sure what to make of it yet.   The plan may not reveal itself until the QB is determined however.  Until that's settled everything else seems to be the normal churn, well for a first time GM anyway.

Kemo was 2006

Feels a lot like the 2008 offseason, except the team is worse than they ever were under John Fox, 2010 excluded.

This. I’m not expecting more than three or four wins unless we make a big upgrade at QB and even then, it's questionable. Nothing we’ve done or really been able to do yet can free us from the inevitable 1-5 NFCS record.

      Updated 2025 draft order

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I'm still not touching Hunter He again said the other day that he plans on playing both sides of the ball in the NFL.  If he is allowed to do that, he won't be as good on either side as his potential and he's going to have serious injury issues and have a short career.  If he's not allowed to do it, I think he's going to become a problem when the team isn't winning as he's going to feel him not being used on both sides of the ball is why. He's being coddled in that environment with Deion and I think it's doing a disservice to him to prepare him for life in the NFL where your coach isn't a 2nd father to you, to where you can just walk into his locker room and steal his shoes like Hunter does to Deion.

      Real Mid-Season Development at QB: Bo Nix

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      He’s a tad behind them. Around 15ish of 32 starters in the league. He’s well ahead of a lot of guys. Tua, Bryce, Cousins (present), Rodgers (current), Devito/Jones, Minshew, Russ (current), Watson, Smith, Carr, T Laws deep ball is weak as poo IMO, there’s plenty. And it’s not like everyone is ripping 60+ers. The key component is if you can rip and maintain velocity of the 30-40 yarders which he does super well. Legit every report out there from Brugler to PFF to PFN document him as good/above average arm strength.  Eye test tells me it’s pretty much that as well, slightly above average.

      Predictions for Brooks debut

      By CBDellinger · Posted

      6-10 carries for  35-45 yds and 3-5 catches for 15-25 would be great.
