Panthers Free Agent Updates

[MHS831]

If you had told me that we would sign a starting DL, a starting S, and a starting C for a combined $20m per year (rough average)-on the first day of tampering, I would not have believed you. 

I would have assumed something closer to $30m  (Bozeman about $9-11m, Bell about $10m, and Shy for about $7-8m

Foreman is still yet to be signed, which means we probably lowballed him a bit ($3-4m)--

Based off Sporttac and the reported contract’s we have a little over 7 mil left to sign people. That does not include any money saved from the Shaq restructure because I haven’t seen details on it.  Hopefully extend burns too to save a bit. Sign Campbell then Hurst/Geiski and let’s go get our QB

Not allowing the shaq money to be seen, thats smart....dont let the agent know how much is truly available...

I dont see how they could sign some top 4 TE, unless its some 7 year deal......

 

(i bet the agents know..)

And when we cut Eiflen into oblivion we’ll have even more

Yes. I think we can create enough to sign a WR or TE--Foreman is still out--

[FuFuLamePoo]

Definitely a solid start today. All three signings I’d imagine will be starters or at a minimum key role players. Give me a pass catcher or two and let’s turn our sites towards the draft.

I like Foreman but would prefer a guy who can be an elite 3 down back..Kareem Hunt anyone?

Yea, I can not speak much on shy. I do like Bell as a player, high on him draft and hes been earning the starting spot for years. The numbers, tad high for my taste...speaking for a safety.....I think that was one of the parts of panthers they alway got right- dont pay safety(unless its minter)......bell is just like mint, leader and good person overall. 

Boze was the best signing of ANYONE today. 10/10 here.  

Plus I looked down at the failcons and what they gave to a safety, LOLLLlllllololollol. Glad they still dont have any DE/edge help, plus their WRs and RBs are panther-like too...

I have not figured out tampon bay signing dean while 55 million over the cap....

What you think we do at WR?

Trade for one of the Broncos WR's would be nice.

For how much?

3 year (because that’s how we do it now) $12.5 a year??? I’m pulling that poo out of thin air..

DJ was getting over 50 for 3 years?? They have similar stats. What about Juju? Has he signed anywhere yet?

[tukafan21]

What about something like Corral and a 2024 4th or 5th round pick for Hopkins?

I'm guessing they're looking for a 3rd for Hop, but something like that could work and I think it would be totally worth it for us to do.

They might not want to pay for a FA QB if they think Kyler won't miss much time, could be an interesting trade as Corral at least would likely fit in the same offense they put together for Kyler.

IF FA get OBJ for cheap 8mil a year deal. Or Allen Lazard on a similar deal.

 

Other than that I don't like this FA WR class.

OBJ isn’t coming for cheap. We need a solid WR and one via the draft. Meyers and Juju are young established slot WRs and we will have Marshall on the outside. Draft a WR like Tillman in the 3rd and we have a nice young core.

Hop is making like 30 mill. They need to eat a good chunk of that salary.

His Cap hit is 30, his salary is 19.5, which means he'd only be 19.5 towards our cap as the 30 includes the portion of his signing bonus.

Sign him to a 1-2 year extension at the same time and we can lower that cap hit by a decent amount and structure it in a way that it really doesn't hurt us in the future much either.
