Free Agents this Offseason

[Iceup]

Carolina Panther Free Agents

Below is the list of the players who we may loose in FA this Offseason. Is there anyone on this list we absolutely NEED to come back. What do you think? I'd probably want to retain MJack, XWoods, Franks for ST, Hekker, Jansen if he doesn't retire, Mays or Cobett to have a center on the roster, and maybe D. Moore if we cut Thielan.

Depending on prices, there's the guys I'd want back. Pineiro not being able to kick from 50 is a red flag, and might be time to find someone else.  There's only a couple guys on the list I'd be sad about seeing go, but gotta fill the bottom of the roster and depth somehow, which a lot of these guys *hopefully* will be in the future.

Considering what we’ve done for him, it’s time for Shaq to repay the favor and come back on a team friendly deal. We can not rely on him but he’s a leader in the locker room. 

[DonTeel]

We only have about 32mil in cap, in the 40's with a Moton restructure.  Cheaper young alternatives all the way around.  Brady and M. Jackson, Shaq(vetmin)  should be cheap. The rest can walk......

ERFAs + RFAs I think are going to come back, if nothing else then to compete in camp.

UFAs I think we'll see Mays and/or Christensen retained for the OL, Franks brought back for ST. Would love to bring back Shaq on a vet deal. Mike Jackson showed that he can be solid depth at least, so I'd bring him back as well as either Franklin OR Johnson to help out on ST. Speaking of ST, would be willing to bring back Jansen and Hekker but we gotta find a better kicker than Eddy.

[Doc Holiday]

Just so people know, right now we have 150m in cap space next year(2026).
 

expect us to roll a lot of contracts of people we want to keep into next season with extensions/restructures(moton). Could totally see us clear up close to an additional $30m this year without much effort at all. 
 

there is plenty of space for us to make moves with the Cap because we have so little on the books after this year.

Most of those guys have played their last snap here in Carolina. I think we bring back Brady C. And Mike Jackson. Maybe Shaq Thompson on the vet min, but wouldn't be surprised if he was done. Very few connections left on the team for Shaq. Could only see him brought back as a player coach, leadership type role. 

[SteveSmithTD89]

Want to see back: 

One of (but preferably both) Brady Christensen/Cade Mays

Mike Jackson 

 

If the price is right would like them back:

Tremble 

JJ 

Hekker 

Sam Franklin 

David Moore

 

That's about it from the list. Lot of churning at the bottom of the roster.

Mike Jackson expresses a desire to stay out of gratitude to Dave Canales...

[CRA]

maybe keep Tremble because Ian should be gone and he is a much better blocker/compliment to Saunders. 

as for the rest, I'm cool just moving on from everyone.   I mean, I'd take JJ back but at 39 next year you gotta think he might just call it a career.  He getting to that window where he really increases the likelyhood of getting hurt out there. 

[OneBadCat]

I definitely want Brady C back along with Tremble and Mike Jackson.

Damn, Canales having that effect on one of our better D free agents is a really good thing. I hope we can take advantage... Of course his agent won't see it that way, lol
