BREAKING: Panthers signing former 1st round pick CB

This is not a pass rusher

Not too many of those available for cheap considering our cap situation. It'll be a draft / free agency priority I'm sure. 

Hopefully Wonnum and Barno add to that once healthy. 

In the interim seems like they're taking fliers on guys that have the size / athleticism pedigree and looking to cement this group heading into next year. Horn and Jackson, have been a nice duo so far.

You can never have enough CBs. This guy had a 1st round pedigree, maybe our coaches can get something out of him. Worth taking a chance on him for sure.

Well it's not really DB that is getting decimated with injuries, so it's a little bit of a head scratcher.

Maybe switching to a 3-2-6 defense??

At this point they are trying to find talent wherever they can. If they can find someone legit to play alongside JC then I'm all for it. Probably easier to find disparate talent at the CB position than LB or DE

I mean, The King Of Pop has played quite well. Troy Hill has been struggling somewhat. Maybe they want an upgrade there.

We need help at DE, LB, D-Line, even in the secondary. We can't fill all of them at once, this is another good start. 

I don't think I'm alone but I feel like we're finally starting to build something...

That’s what this year is all about. Building the roster and establishing a culture and system. Gotta start somewhere. I’m glad we picked up Farley. He could be a valuable contributor in the short term and perhaps a potential starter down the road.

    • Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.
    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
    • Well, we got our answer on Army today.
