What was the boldest move this franchise has made?

I swear the panthers must have the weakest free agent history in the NFL? Please someone name another team worse than the panthers in free agency. Best we got is semi-old OG Matt Wahle, Ken " What youd say about money -Smitty " Lucas, and a past prime Reggie White. God dam its pathetic. fuging Matt Kalil feels like hes in the top five, what a joke in 26 years this is.

 

Fritterer fix this!!!!

Jakes extension, and I say this as a die hard jake fan.  That contract set us back and in fact harmed Cams development due to the cap situation.

I know some of our moves cross over into both bold and stupid, but even as a big fan of Jake I have to say that one was just plain stupid.

That extension was basically a reward for past service. Hurney and Richardson we're both okay with that kind of move, but smart teams know that's something you never do.

Let me also add drafting a QB converted to WR from a DII school in the second round. What an awful pick that was 

That division 2 school beat the states darling tar heel blue just two years ago. 

They actually drafted a QB, tried to turn him into a receiver in an Era where Foxball was still prevalent. Odds are he could've been a better QB than Jimmy Clausen though, at least he beat Michigan.

[Donald LaFell]

I remember a lot of excitement signing Stephen Davis

Ken Lucas and Mike Whale were big deals 

trading back into 1st for Jeff Otah was a big deal it just went fuging sideways by doing it again next year for a player that fell into the 2nd

Letting Josh Norman go and drafting 3 CBs

[jfra78]

Unfranchising Norman and Cutting Steve Smith 

[CRA]

Boldest move:  Attempting to sell to fans that being naturally left handed matters

I’m not knocking Edwards or App St. But defending the decision to draft a QB from a small school like that to convert to WR rather than drafting one of the other dozen second round WR prospects that actually played WR in college was a terrible decision.

Thats something you might consider doing in the 4th round maybe. The 2nd? That’s incredibly dumb. I mean, I would be pissed if we picked a QB from the national championship team with the intentions of converting him to a WR in the 2nd round. Why do that? There are still tons of actual WRs with high upside available. It’s nonsense.

Greg was traded for aka herniay magic..... Top twenty all-time best trades. Still not a top level free agent signing. Theres not any, could add chuck smith to Wahle and Lucas. Ma'ake Kemoeatu may be in the top five too. 

Lucas

Wahle

Kalil(matt)

Chuck Smith 

Ma'ake Kemoeatu

Robby Anderson

 

@EgoDogg can you think of any headlining free agent pickups? * In high demand and not over the hill*

Yeah I guess a trade is not really the same as free agency. I kinda put all offseason moves into one category except the draft.

Stephen Davis has got to be the best FA pickup for us
