From a GM's standpoint...

[ItsNotGonnaBeAlright]

Now you have $16 million to spend on players that you didn't have last year, regardless of salary cap. Who do you spread the wealth to?

[Wither]

Davis, Marshall.

Davis and Dwill. Marshall I would tender but that would be it. Pickup a WR in FA.

I don't really remember who all is a FA now but I'd say DWill is a given.

[DaCityKats]

Here ya go. First article on google that popped up.

let's not pay Marshall yet.......he didn't look strong enough last year to be the sure #2 here for years. Plus, Gamble is already overpaid......don't need 2 overpaid CBs

[DynastyRTR]

tender marshall, extend beason and dwill's contracts, and go after a top DE and a WR like Kevin walter or Jason Avant

[Scrumtrilescent]

I'd buy an elephant.

I'd buy an elephant.

Aren't there enough in the room already?

I love Williams, and I think he's one of the best flat out playmakers that this team has ever had (outside of Steve Smith for sure). But I'm just not sure about giving him a monster deal. How much longer can he really play at the level he's played at the past two seasons?

I know it's a discussion for another time, and there's sure to be a shitstorm about it until he's locked up or gone, but I'm just not so sure.

We have a young, solid roster and money to spend. Suddenly Hurney doesn't look like such a fool.

[R0CKnR0LLA]

Beason, DWill, Stewart, Otah, Kalil, Thomas Davis...

We have alot of young players still under rookie contracts that are going to want to get paid. Giving Pep a huge contract means you eventually have to lose several of those guys. We're probably better off in the long run letting him walk.

For now, just take care of our own players and add a few mid-level FA WRs. Lance Moore is a guy I like that should be pretty cheapish. Breaston I like even more but I don't know how reasonable that would be to bring him in.

[DaveThePanther2008]

Keeping the Core of this team intact is critical. By letting Peppers go we are going to be able to keep those players here. We would have had to decide on which players, if any, we would be able to keep had we tagged Pep.

I would consider tendering Marshall to see if anyone would bite. We might be able to get a decent CB with the draft choice.

Otherwise I would sign Davis and Marshall along with Moore.

Go Panthers
