The man that should be our top target in FA

[NJPanthers89]

Again my main point in starting this thread was in looking at FA and How can the Panthers best improve this pathetic offense.  We all were hoping for a big name WR, sadly that’s not happening.  But a guy like Saquon will be available and can carry an offense.  The Giants had a worse QB situation than us somehow and he still was able to have success and teams feared him.  I like Chuba but he’s not in the same stratosphere of talent that Saquon is.

 Nobody would complain about the cap implications if CMC was still on the roster, and this brings us close to that talent level at the position again.  It will also be cheaper than CMC was. Let’s face it, if we don’t bring in talent via FA to take pressure of Bryce this year will be just as ugly as the last.  Hoping to just draft guys with the like 3 picks we have is laughable.

Most guys drafted in the second round and beyond are not ready immediately.  Look at Mingo..

I would say 3rd and beyond.

As to your point, why in the world would Saquon want to come here? I imagine that he's going to go to a place where he can help a real contender get over the hump, not come here and help us struggle to be barely competitive. It's going to be his choice. He's already been linked to the Chargers. 

 

Saquon's brain:

Chargers vs Panthers

San Diego vs Charlotte

Harbaugh vs Canales

Herbert vs Young

Is it really a choice? Really?

It doesn't and its stupid. 

If you want to root for names go play fantasy football or something.

Signing high priced FAs makes no sense at all in our timeline, trading anything outside of players also makes no sense.  

Yes the plan is to draft and develop that is how the best teams do it, not by signing a bunch of guys with well known names to stupid contracts. 

I respect your vision, but I strongly disagree. Relying on the draft to fix your problems is just not a safe way to view team building. You need to hit on the draft and FA's imo.

CMC was not trying to play unless he was 100% healthy. Dude quit on us and I won't forget that. Wish him well, but he wasn't all in his time here.

The player we should have kept was Moore. Dude was all in, never complained about QB play. I miss that guy.

Serious delusion here. CMC never quit, period. That was typical Marty/Rhule CYA keeping him on IR when we were out of it. CMC was surprised by the trade and I’ve posted it in here before. Heck CMC signed a long term extension with us. This isn’t like the current Burns situation. CMC and Moore both signed up to be long term Panthers.

He’s right and the bolded is just completely wrong. The draft is the core of team building, period. 49ers lost to the Chiefs. Go look at their rosters, their cores are absolutely reliant on the draft. There may be a couple key FAs or trades, but the core was drafted (including UDFAs).

Not even sure this would be even possible.  Saquon isn’t coming here.  
Trey Benson from FSU ran a 4.39 at the combine at 217 Ibs…just saying
