Offseason after 2001 what free agents...

[panther4life]

did we target and how many of them actually signed with us??

I think looking back at this it will give us a good idea of what caliber players would entertain coming here.

In the spring of 2002 we signed:

CB Terry Cousin Miami

QB Rodney Peete Oakland

RB Lamar Smith Miami

I'm not sure who else, or how many, other players we targeted but missed out on though.

ya its hard to find info that old online..

did come across a partial article i found kind of funny/ironic.

"When Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson proposed, and coach George Seifert accepted, the turn to a youth movement after last season, they expected a rocky road. Seifert suggested as much when he first addressed the change in philosophy.

While the two anticipated losses, no one envisioned the misery that followed and finally concluded Sunday, when the Panthers lost their 15th straight and completed a 1-15 season with a 38-6 loss to New England."

reminds me of the letter Jerry sent out to psl holders saying he didnt think the youth movement would hurt us soo much.

That does sound awfully familiar, doesn't it?
