I wouldn't mind people narrowing their search to the 3-4 too. 

Campbell is a 3-4 DE, but Dupree absolutely isn't (for example). 

is there another example? think thats the only guy that doesnt at least play edge/olb in multiple fronts.

He was really bad last season for the Vikings. Really low win rate and success rate rushing the qb. If he’s the #1 de, then the panthers are in trouble

Oh all homerism aside. Without a doubt. I'm already preparing for that. People want a Clowney reunion here but his top two choices are the Jets and Ravens no feel good story about returning to the Carolinas is going to sway him at this point in his career.

Clowney is the best option but is probably using Carolina for leverage elsewhere and who knows when he signs.
 

Lawson is the guy I really want. 28, a true 3-4 EDGE and can create havoc still, if healthy. He has to be the pivot if Clowney falls through.

I know Danna is a young guy, but he seemed to line up a lot with his hand in the dirt at end vs. standing up outside. Or maybe it was just the YT vids I saw. Idk.

Just sign Lawson.

I think we've hit the point in FA where teams are gonna sit til after the draft before signing these caliber guys. Either you luck out on a good draft pick, or someone else lucks out in the draft and wants to unload someone from their current roster. We definitely need more guys before camp but we can upgrade on the waiver wire during preseason cuts and edge guys are pretty much plug and play. If we can't get Clowney maybe they can land Gilmore and go DE at 33 or 39 with CB being pretty solid

Danna is alright but he doesn't really fit into EE's scheme all that well. He's better than nothing though. 

I wish they would go Edge in the 2nd. I wouldn't mind having somebody like the kid front Utah.

Is he more of a 4-3 guy? I know he's not a blitz specialist, but I'm not familiar with KC defensive scheme.

During the last interview with Morgan, I think he said (Basically) that the free agency wave is over and they were now looking toward the draft.

 

Clowney says otherwise playa.

    • What I really learned here is that the Carolina Panthers aren't anywhere near as bad as I initially thought they were earlier this year.  We've got a young and growing offense with some promising parts. But it still needs some tweaks and improvements.  We really still could still use a dominant #1 WR. But Chubba,  Legette, Coker,  and J.Sanders have generally looked decent. Bryce took a big leap after the benching. We can score enough points to keep pace with 2x defending super bowl champions, so offense isn't a huge issue. Main thing that needs improvement is defense. We sorely need a CB 2, and a number of new players at Dline and LB.  We're not quite as bad at edge with Wonnum showing promise.  But we definitely need 1 or 2 more edges Clowney is old.  Run D is probably worse prevailing theme these past couple years. We really need a good young stud or two to pair with Derrick Brown and another LB to pair up with Trevin Wallace. If Morgan and Canales can focus on rebuilding the defense this off-season and possibly going out and getting a #1 WR. This team could easily be somewhere around 7-10 to 10-7 and flirting with playoffs in 1 or 2 seasons. Overall this game has made me feel alot more positive about the direction of the team.
    • With our picks we need pass rush, lb, Safety, a speedster yac wr, o line depth and I still want a mid round qb. We got 9 picks and 8 in the first 5 rounds. If they pull Off another solid draft we be cooking. 
    • We had one passing touchdown against the Giants and one passing touchdown against the Chiefs today. Yes a good backup can replicate that. And that is why Andy Dalton in significantly less games has the same number of 30 point outings as Bryce Young. I am on board with you guys about wanting to be hopeful for the future. Today was a good performance to build on especially at home. But let's please keep things in perspective. BTW the Bucs who honestly aren't even that good blew the doors off the Giants today after we went to overtime against them with 17 points. Again. Perspective.
