Reporter Rumor: Panthers Interested in Malcom Floyd

[rayzor]

According to Aaron Wilson, who covers the Ravens and is very credible...

I fully expect Rivera to come out and say it's false though, lol.

EDIT: I prefaced the title with reporter rumor b/c I think that should now be mandatory for all twitter rumors... As we've seen this offseason, twitter makes for bad reporting at times.

agreed on the credibility of wilson. for a beat reporter, the dude does a good job of keeping up with what is going on around the league. he's got some decent league sources.

agreed w/ the reporter rumor designation as well. most of us following twitter know to take it with a grain of salt until more substantial reports come out. usually reports that have legs will start popping up soon after the initial one after several people start looking into it. sometimes the early reports are right on. sometimes they aren't.

anyway....i love the idea of floyd, but i'm getting worried about the CB position and that we are running out of choices here...even for just a 1 year deal. only guy i'm at all interested in is kelvin hayden form the colts. dude is talented, but he gets hurt a lot.

i think the coaching staff really likes the potential of the young guys on the roster and i'm confident that we will be carrying more WRs on the roster and into game days than we have in over 10 years. floyd for a 1 year deal would be appropriate, but i don't know how it would hamper the progress of the young guys and i don't know what financial resources it would take away from adding to the CBs.

Hard to say how much we want Floyd. If we aere going to do something this year maybe we would feel a need. As it is though, he would be a stop gap not someone for the future. As far as a big receiver who can help us in the redzone, we got that in Olsen. I expect we will use him alot like Wesley Walls. Money on third down and in the redzone.

Rather just keep the guys we have and let them come into their own.

After a few practices with Lafell/Gettis, no one is in a better position than Chud to judge whether Floyd is an immediate upgrade and worth the investment. Having better wrs will make Cam's transistion much easier.

Dont believe it.

[MadHatter]

The quote NEVER said that we were interested. It merely stated that they THINK we would be a good suitor.

Big difference.

I think were set on offense, but hey more ammunition for Cam I guess..

Fixed.

[KillerKat]

DT and CB are way bigger needs

#49ers & #Panthers have also entered the mix on free agent WR Malcom Floyd. #Ravens have put forth a decent offer reportedly.

if we see "Panthers Sign Malcom Floyd".. I won't be mad. I can see the reasons not to sign him though.

[PanthersGuy28]

Not even gonna get my hopes up.

[Lumps]

seems like a move like this would turn us practically into an offensive team

My guess is he goes to Baltimore to win or stays in SD, only way he comes here is if he really likes Chud

[cheynehowell]

No way we sign Floyd over a CB. Of course that would be logical
