Important Free Agency Note- After 4PM EST Today (May 3rd), FA Signings Do Not Impact Compensatory Picks

[Seltzer]

This afternoon is when the next wave of free agency commences, as teams try to round out their roster post-draft.

Here is a list of some of the top prospects- In my opinion,  OT, S, & LB are still areas we could address:

[Jared Patterson]

OMG PICK UP LENO. Him an Christensen compete for LT and we could have a solid line.

Or Fisher

Would love to kick the tires on Hooker.

I highly doubt Fisher plays this year,considering how late in the season his injury was.

I'd love to have Sherman as a mentor to the young guys.

[TheSpecialJuan]

Wonder if we would be interested in bring back special teams guys like Julian Stanford or Adarius Taylor.

How about re-signing Kawann Short? Having some older vets around is a good thing for the youngest team in the league 

[Jaxel]

Hooker could benefit from that change of scenery. His problem has been injuries though.

Malik Hooker

Alejandro Villanueva 

Chalres Leno

Eric Fisher

KJ Wright 

Kwon Alexander

Kenny Vaccarro

Melvin Ingram

Bolded my wants. Add Vernon as well

[DaveThePanther2008]

Any thoughts of Norman for safety?

I hope we sign one of the OTs just to give Christensen a mentor.

Panthers currently have about $15M in cap.  Need $5M or so for draft picks, so we have the means to add some more talent.

Especially since the salary crunch from Covid is going to cause some of these veterans to take 1-year minimum or near-minimum deals

I thought it was 18 and basically close to 19 after JJ Jansen???

This was the source I was using:

Whatever the number is, it can go up when/if we cut Jansen by roughly $1M

Even better if it's more in the range you are saying... where did you see those numbers?
