I feel Milton is a huge FA red flag. 

Terrible run defender. Had a limited snap count with an awesome front 7. 

And he’s about to be paid top dollar starter money to a team that’s not the Eagles.

I am starting to feel the same way.  Reminds me of Gerald McCoy.  I think his season here featured a third of his tackles were sacks (5 sacks, 15 unassisted tackles, 22 tackles).  He figured out how to get paid and he was going for the glory plays for a DL.  A DT averaging one tackle a game is going to make $20m because he gets 5 sacks in a season in which he averaged 1 tackle per game?

Everyone is saying that the Panthers will be one of the most active and aggressive teams in free agency. 
 

so i expect a few big signings very early

I wouldn’t be surprised with Dre Greenlaw if they don’t think Trevon is ready. 

Also think secondary could get +3 pretty quickly.

Being active and signing high priced FAs might be 2 different things. Willis said they want to have a team they could play with - before the draft. Thats another WR, TE and RB on offense. That's a DE. DT, CB, LB and 2 safeties. I expect them to sign all of that, maybe not all A or even B level, but enough to fill the roster. 

Then they can draft BPA and look at positions and decide which is more important or gather even more picks.

I’d say the first thing we need at DT is someone that can maul the run game. Do you think he’s more of an occupy 2 guys/push the pocket types?  I watched less of other teams than ever this last year.
  I’m fine with someone that frees Derrick Brown up to be the wrecking ball but that’s a lot of money…Whoever that is. OR If we take Graham at 8 that’s 2 number 8 picks at DT. Which I’m fine with but we sure as hell be way better in the run game and up the middle pressure 

Thanks cheers!

I’d love Greenlaw
