For the side of the ball that needs help the most

QB-Andrew Luck, Seneca Wallace, Matt Hasselbeck

pray to god for the Panthers' sake Andrew Luck decides to skip his senior year. If Jim Harbaugh leaves college ball and decides to join us in the pros, that will certainly be an encouraging factor. Seneca Wallace is probably the best backup in the league and keeps an offense competitive in the event of a starter's injury. Hasselbeck i wouldn't really want to start but to give Luck some guidance in his younger years. Keep Clausen? Maybe, but we might be better off just completely clean slating the QB position.

RB-Williams, Stewart, Goodson, Sutton OR Williams, Goodson, Sutton, 4th/5th rd Draft pick, OR Stewart, Goodson, Sutton, 4th/5th rd draft pick.

Eh, I'm kind of open to this. We could re-sign DeAngelo and keep Stewart and have a pretty good core. Or we could re-sign Williams, and try to trade Stewart but I doubt we'll get anyone to give us fair compensation since, after all, RBs get injured left and right and it doesn't take a superstar RB to have a solid running game. Our best bet might be to retain Williams and leave the RB core the way it is now, but given the fact that we have so many other positions of need, we have to look at the option of letting him walk as a possibility.

WR-Smith, FA, Brandon LaFell/Gettis

LaFell and Gettis I see being two good slot threats next year if they have someone better ahead of them. As far as free agency is concerned, two big young names yet to be re-signed are Sidney Rice and Steve Smith (Giants). Landing either of those would instantly turn this receiving core into a secondary's nightmare, however there is the likelihood both of them stay with their teams. Santonio Holmes and Mike Sims-Walker are also potential FA candidates.

TE-FA, Rosario, Barnidge

Since the days of Wesley Walls the Panthers have tried their hardest to ignore this position, treating it as an afterthought and it's time for that to finally end. So instead of starting another marginal Quintus Pfuffnick, peruse the FA pool. Zach Miller is my top choice, but Oakland might keep him. Other upgrades include Kevin Boss, Marcedes Lewis, and Owen Daniels. Retain Rosario as he won't cost much and has a more unique skill set than Jeff King.

Oline-Gross, Wharton, Kalil, Schwartz, Otah, Bernadeau, Robinson, sign/draft Oline depth

Gross, Wharton and Otah will all be here next season. It is imperative we keep Kalil, and Schwartz has been improving steadily over the year. Let him compete to be the full time starter at RG and give Robinson one last shot. Fill out the rest of the roster with a combo of low tier FA and mid-late round draft picks.

I don't care what he is, I just want Luck on the Panthers next year.

The main guys i would like to see targeted in FA:

Marcedes Lewis, TE

Barry Cofield, DT

Ray McDonald or Brandon Mebane, DT

James Jones or possibly Vincent Jackson, WR

Paul Oliver, DB depth

Rex Hadnot, OL depth

Billy Volek, backup QB

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      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.
