Dunta Robinson will enter free agency

[Dpantherman]

@Adam_Schefter:

Just like Panthers are allowing DE Julius Peppers to leave in free agency, Texans are doing the same with CB Dunta Robinson. No tag.

I wouldn't mind letting him battle with Marshall, and Munnerlyn for the #2 CB spot. competition is always good. the only question is, how much was his tag last year and how much does he cost? anyone know?

[Delhommey]

Um, #2?

[The Saltman]

if he can play injury free he is a legit #1

[Cyclonus]

I think he'll be out of the Panthers price range. Technically they would have the money to go after him. But at the price he'll demand it wouldn't be worth it. I think our corners are fine. The money would be best used elsewhere.

He was turning into a shutdown corner prior to his injuries.

[Dpantherman]

i have no clue what his price tag is, which is the only reason I even suggested it. as far as #1 or #2, with all the money we have invested in Gamble, no way we'd replace him. #2 is still starting...

[southcakalac]

Robinson > Gamble IMHO

[CatMan72]

Not where we need to spend our money this offseason.

[CLTPanther]

He didnt' have a good year last year did he? I remember he got lit up in at least a few games.

[panthers55]

Given we play more of a Tampa 2 much of the time, I don't think we need to pay for shutdown corners typical of teams who play man a lot. Seems our safeties are very important. I would rather see us get another strong safety with good ball skills over another corner.

Trust me, he would cost more than Gamble and start ahead of Gamble... that beings said, we would have a damn good set of CBs.... Robinson, Gamble, Marshall, and the Cap. That would be sick nasty

[Dingo_ate_Babies]

our pass defense wasn't the problem last season..it was the run-defense.

Yeah, I don't get this Robinson > Gamble mess...

Dunta Robinson played like garbage this past season. Someone is going to overpay him, but he is basically another DeAngelo Hall...overrated #2 corner.

[csx]

The Panthers don't have the slightest need for him.

I completely agree, except I think we need a new FS. I'd like to try and snag Ryan Clark from The Steelers. He'd be an upgrade over anyone we currently have at FS. That said, it won't happen. The Panthers won't spend the money to get him.
