There's the buddy Woods needed back there with him in the 2 deep.

They will all be useless if we don't have a consistent pass rush and the ability to stop the run. I like Vonn Bell as a player but I've seen too many defenses with All-Star secondaries flail around because the front 7 was garbage. We need another pass rusher/anchor at OLB and we need a 0 tech. Marquis Haynes will get washed out one first and second downs but he has elite potential as a pure pass rusher.

What I wouldn't give to have Hasaan Reddick back. The one that got away, for nothing.

I keep seeing this “move Chinn back to LB talk”. Was he ever listed on the roster as an LB of any sort? I don’t recall that. I remember him playing down in the box a lot but I thought he was still listed as a SS?

Whatever they labeled him as it was the proper way to use him. People knew this before he was even drafted. Chinn is at his best when he's actively engaged and not sitting in space dissecting what comes next. His ball skills and athleticism are strengths that help define his value and teams will need to find ways to put him in position to utilize both without exposing his inconsistent field awareness. He might find a future role as a big nickel or a cover linebacker who can drag tight ends around the field in sub-packages.

Well we signed a linemen to start things off and are in hour 4 of the FA, let's see what happens.  Plenty of road ahead.  The house hasn't even landed on the witch yet.

Looks as though the Panthers are going defense in free agency--a front end and back end player.  I am interested in this addition because it could mean that we will not need 3 CBs as much--our CBs are rather fragile.

As for those of you talking about the weight of DT Shy Tuttle  in a thread entitled, "Panthers sign Vonn Bell"  bless your hearts.

Panthers signed S Vonn Bell, formerly of the Bengals.

After spending the last three seasons in Cincinnati, Bell is now headed to the Panthers to help tighten up a pass defense that allowed the 10th-most passing yards last season (227.5) while ranking 29th in PFF coverage grades (54.2). While never being named to a Pro Bowl or All-Pro team, Bell has been one of the best safeties in the league against the run, and also totaled a career-high four interceptions last season.

Heres my Bell story.(i like the signing, depending on $$$).

Before, why did he miss games last year, I could not find injuries. He played in 9 games, confused. 

 

Bell story- in the draft Bell passed on all the 3 cone, 40, etc etc. Sean payton sorta wanted him and texted him "How can I draft you if I dont know your athletic numbers??" Bell did them all and sent the videos to Payton. The Saints then traded up(i think 3 picks) with the Pats, in order to draft Bell.  

Bell is solid at about every role for a safety- box, deep, biltz, etc. 

I need to see the figures, but hes a better woods in simple terms.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.

      Not a chance the SEC could compete with the NFL.  In the large cities that are not in the Southeast, (LA, NYC, Chicago, SF) College football is an afterthought.
