Deangelo Williams... next......

[blackcat]

Let our new GM and coach solve this problem next year...

Let's say he was a RFA...he would definately garner the 1st/3rd tender. Nothing less in my opinion.

Smitty is where you should be looking to get value while you still can.

Too many decent running backs in Free Agency for us to get what he is worth. Other teams have too much leverage with what is already on the market. If we try to trade him for picks it will be a huge mistake at this time

As much as I hate to admit it...you're right. The only problem is we don't have anywhere close to a replacement for him at this time. We already have promising replacements for everyone else we cut or lost...aside from Lloyd. Has anyone even seen Baker kick off before?

Okay so why not continue this issue. What would Deangelo bring in terms of a draft pick? I think it could easily get us a first rounder back. Any thoughts? I could possibly see this happening since he has only one year left and Stewart ran like a train in the last three games and Sutton impressed everyone. For the record, I hate this idea, but I am just throwing it out for good conversation.

Trading any of the Panthers top players for a 1st round pick would piss me off and only compound the mistake made by Fox/Hurney last year. The organization needs to suck it up and deal with no round one pick this year.

[Samuel L. Jackson]

...replacements? LOL... You're saying we have replacements for everyone we've cut?

Err... We drafted a RB last year, and found a gem in free agency there too...

Not to mention, the market of FA RBs out there right now is unimpressive to anyone wanting a young stud RB...

Williams would most certainly garner a 1st and 3rd this year if we traded him, and some teams would be willing to trade more than that...

The biggest issue here is that I don't know the Panthers would do it, but if they are willing, they could do it with no problem...

DeAngleo is worth trading for another player who makes the team better. He isn't worth a gamble on a draft pick.

[HSCBandit07]

I didn't say they had to be stellar but they are starter material. I was reading an article today on nfl.com that stated RB is the deepest position in FA right now. Why trade away a first and a third when you can sign a former standout for 1 year relatively cheap, and grab a project back in the draft/a starter in next years draft.

[DaveThePanther2008]

Dont compare dumping Hoover to dumping D'Will. That isn't even comparable. Secondly D'Will is in his prime. We haven't cut T.D. or any other player coming up for money. I don't know who even suggested trading DW or JS but we didn't just draft these guys to trade em later. We drafted them to have the Best running game in the league. Which we arguable have.

I will be shocked if we traded him or Stewart for that matter

[pantherrice]

Deangelo Williams is one of the best players to ever play for the carolina panthers. He is a very unique back. I would try to keep him until at least age 30, no matter what it costs. trading him would be a big mistake.

I don't see a chance in hell of this happening.

I'm not one to latch onto a player over the team, but if they trade D-Will, hurney will need the witness protection agency, reconstructive surgery, and a relocation of address.

D Will > 3 First round picks IMO...why give up such a great talent like that for an unproven prospect??
