Free agent chatter

Seems like a good S to pair with Woods.  Cleveland has to be tight with their cap with how much Watson, Garrett, Ward and Cooper take up (that's 111 mill between 4 players per year).  That's 11 mil free for them.  

[Captain Morgan]

sounds perfect...2 or 3 year deal, backloaded so he's cheap this year with an out for us after a couple of years

Hopefully the Panthers brain trust is collectively taking note of all the available free agents that can help. I hope before long we will announce that Bozeman has been locked up. I really don’t expect any signings until we resolve his status, sounds like he could help. Also, a decision for sure on a quarterback and how much to spend. just my humble opinion.

would not be a bad pickup at all

Safety could be tricky given Jeremy Chinn's presence. If we spend even remotely big on a safety it's probably a good indicator that Chinn will be playing more linebacker this year.

Which is interesting since it's tough to find an obvious fit for him in our new scheme. He's not really an edge rusher but is also undersized for a 3-4 inside 'backer.

Would be a great pickup as a true FS to complement Chinn. His versatility of playing in the box would give us flexibility in the backend.

I do think we need to go FS in FA. I'm not big on this year's FS draft class. Seems like there's a lot more SS types in this class.

Same here. And JJ III has a background with our new DC and DB coach which gives us a player familiar with this 3-4 scheme. Makes sense all around.

All I know is we need to release Jeremy Chinn to play much closer to the line so he can be "that guy" we all saw in his rookie season.  He was electric.

I am anxious to see how the plan on using Chinn. This two deep coverage scheme talk makes me nervous. If we want to run a two deep shell then Chinn either needs to be playing LB or traded.

Zach Allen could help our DL

Raised my eyebrows for a second there before I read the rest
