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. 

UNRESTRICTED FREE AGENTS (21)

QB Andy Dalton
C Austin Corbett
C Brady Christensen
TE Tommy Tremble
TE Ian Thomas
TE Feleipe Franks
WR David Moore
RB Mike Boone

DE DeShawn Williams
OLB Cam Gill
LB Shaq Thompson
CB Mike Jackson
CB Caleb Farley
S Xavier Woods
S Jordan Fuller
S Nick Scott
S Sam Franklin
S Lonnie Johnson
P Johnny Hekker
K Eddy Piñeiro
LS JJ Jansen

RESTRICTED FREE AGENTS (5)
C Cade Mays
WR Deven Thompkins
RB Raheem Blackshear
WR Velus Jones Jr.
WR Dan Chisena

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

    • At this juncture, I'm leery of bringing in any more Uglies over 30. Too much money and risk of injuries is a lot higher. I have some issues with Mays and I would really like to strengthen the interior but I feel any potential alternative should be via the draft. That said, I would prioritize drafting an eventual replacement for Moton over a center. 
    • Tell that to Andy Dalton. He was without Thielen and Coker, right? He had Johnson and Mingo after losing Thielen during the Raiders game. Did the play caller change? Stop the excuses and pulling down the success of the receivers and the playcalling. So, why is Young throwing more risky throws a game better than reading the defense post snap and making the correct decision? That gives the defense more opportunity to change the game. Young's accuracy is good. His post snap pocket vision and decision making is not. That's why you don't want to be on the left side of that chart compared to the field. He will continue to cost the Panthers games against good and mediocre pass defenses if you want him to stay on the left side throwing more passes into tight windows. We also know having Thielen and Coker is an improvement over Johnson and Mingo. So, I'd say Dalton would have moved further to the right if he had Thielen and Coker. Give Young Johnson/Mingo instead and you'd likely see Mac Jones type production with the Patriots having him high and left in that same chart. You can't just hope Young plays the worst pass defenses like the Giants, Cardinals and Falcons for 17 games. Teams have and will make Young pay for what he did against the Cardinals and Falcons. There won't be an OT opportunity against those defenses. Young needs to get himself over to the right side of the chart with Jayden Daniels and Andy Dalton. The supporting cast excuses are not going to do that for him.
    • We should draft one in the late rounds, but it feels good for OL to not be an emergency need going into an offseason for once.
