A roster makeover awaits new Carolina Panthers coach

[Laetitia]

(By Darin Gantt, [email protected]) Once the Panthers find their new head coach, all they'll really have to do is remake the roster around him.p/The Panthers enter 2011 in a curious spot - they have loads of young talent, but also a big load of contracts that need to be addressed.

They should get a third-rounder back as compensation for losing Peppers to Chicago during free agency.

haven't heard this discussed much...

wow I didn't know we had 28 expiring contracts. I can only assume most of them are players we signed during the season because of injuries.

28 expiring contracts doesn't surprise me. Hell we've got three QBs alone on the roster who are going to be without a contract at years end (St. Pierre, Null and Moore) we've had so many injuries and stop gaps this year, in addition to the BIG name free agents we know about (Marshall, Williams, Davis) 28 makes perfect sense.

Most of the DT and TE's contracts are expiring.

We need to keep the core guys, and replace everyone else. I wonder who we put under the tag this time around. Of course the new CBA may help or hurt our ability to resign guys.

There is a lot I do not understand about the CBA and how it may effect payrolls across the NFL. I think it is unfortunate that JR is a co-chair of the owners negotiating the new deal. It needs to be completed very soon!!!!

I think we can let Jeff King go. He works hard, but I think it's time for Rosario and Barnidge to shine.

As they're all crap, that's not a loss.

Agree. However, having 18 expiring contracts, the #1 draft pick, and no coaches makes this job more appealing to an outsider.

Hmm?
