He's already talking to Beason about an extension. ;)

Panthers owner Jerry Richardson said today he is optimistic the team will sign its primary free agent targets as the start of training camp approaches.

Richardson said general manager Marty Hurney is meeting with unrestricted free agent running back DeAngelo Williams today as well as linebacker Thomas Davis about a contract extension. Hurney is also beginning a conversation with linebacker Jon Beason about a contract extension.

"We've said from the beginning we're going to be aggressive but we're going to be aggressive at the right time. That's to sign our own players," Richardson said.

"I would bet Charles Johnson was in the top five free agents in the market. I assume DeAngelo was high. I suspect when this is over, we do have Charles Johnson. I hope we're going to have DeAngelo, we're going to have Thomas (Davis). We're going to be talking to Jon Beason today. We will have probably, very quickly, our core players and we're able to do it because we're willing to be competitive and pay what it takes.

"We have such a compressed length of time. We're moving as fast as we can but I'm optimistic because we want them here."

      After the Chiefs game a 6'5 X would really help in the Red zone. I would also love to add Slayton in FA

      But again, you can restock a defense through free agency much easier than offensive skill positions. Spend all our cap space on defense, take a true elite prospect who also happens to fit a position of need in T-Mac, and then use the rest of our picks on defense. Again, every season there’s a smattering of great DL, LB, and DB options in free agency, a Top 10 WR never hits free agency, ever.  The only way you get one is through the draft or giving up 1st round picks in a trade for one. If he’s there when we’re on the clock, he has to be the pick, he’s just that good.

      It must be an early Christmas for JT O'Sullivan having Thielen back so he could put a coal in Thielen's stocking every chance he gets.  Honestly, the biggest surprise is not so much the anticipation. There were those moments here and there last year as well. It's that even that one positive quality he had seemingly vanished his first two games to where it looked like it was all but over, only for it to start coming back some until you get exclamation points all over this game film. And some of those throws were under a lot of duress, something I feel is something new. Finally, those deeper shots are starting to land. Not all of them, but enough that defenses may have to start respecting them. No guarantees whether this will end up as more of anomaly but I certainly hope it isn't. The Green Bay game was a sampler of what BY could be. Against KC, we got a meal. If we could start getting these meals regularly, we might actually have something to work with here.
