So it's becoming obvious...

Lucas to Cleveland for Rodgers...

Wishful thinking.

No, no, no. They're sending Peppers and Lucas to Oakland for Nnamdi Asomuasdfajowrngalkj and a second rounder.

People who are saying we are just trying to stay flexible, we are wayyyy under the cap already. I'm thinking a big name corner or making room for a Peppers trade for whomever we may be signing in that.

you have our numbers? I don't think we are way under and able to land a big FA nor is that what the Panthers do. We go after hidden gems and guys on the backside of careers.

Lucas nixed a deal to Detroit. That's what WFNZ is saying.

As super-awesome as that approach is, I wouldn't be surprise if the front office is considering going after - *gasp* - a player who is both obviously talented and in his prime.

He isnt right?

Nope.

I disagree. I don't think 2 DT's would want to restucture to get a big name DT to come in a take their job. I want to see us pick up a CB, or even an Antonio Smith or Bertrand Berry for depth.

Maybe a 3 team trade that sends Lucas somewhere else and gets us Lito Sheppard? Not sure...

Can't wait for tomorrow and this weekend!

Why not? He would hep them and they would rotate any way.

Could be that they just want flexibility if they're interested in any of the FA's, I don't interpret it to mean they have one guy they're focused on.

In all fairness to the front office, they did try for a few years to sign big money impact guys but most of them didn't work out. That's when the team decided to start going after mid level cheaper guys instead.

[Lout]

Keep in mind that we need approx. 8-10 million in cap space to sign all of our Rookies.

[tondi]

I don't think we will need that much, especially if we don't end up with a first rounder.

not really we dont have a 1st rounder and our picks are late in the round...

I didn't see this thread while writing mine, so I'll post here. I wrote the exact same thing. Seems to me like they are making room in order to keep Pep and his $17 M price tag...

What kind of a deal do you guys think a mid-tier CB like Leigh Bodden will get?

Dude, you stole my avatar!
