Panthers Free agents signed over the years....

Thought this would be kind of fun. Lets list any Free Agent signings that the Panthers have made since their inception. Also list whether they were a bust or actually were a good signing

I start with Kevin Greene. One of my all time favorite players. He played crazy. If Peppers had his intensity, Pepps would be unstoppable. Definitley not a bust

You guys do realize that all free agent history is available via the Panthers website, right?

Oh well, I'll bite.

Those that I consider good or solid acquisitions:

John Kasay

Sam Mills

Frank Reich

Steve Beuerlein

Kevin Greene

Wesley Walls

Brentson Buckner

Jake Delhomme

Ricky Prohel (one of my favs. Wish we had him earlier in his career)

Ken Lucas (he was awesome his first/second season with the Panthers)

Maake Kemoeatu

Damione Lewis (with Maake, made an awesome run-stuffing line)

Interesting picks

Steve Bono (can't believe we actually signed the guy that backed up many other franchise QB's. lol)

Tyler Brayton (yet to be seen if he'll grow)

Keydrick Vincent (looks to be a fantastic signing)

The funny thing is that if you look at the players the Panthers let walk in free agency, none of them really panned out in their next team. Only a few either maintained or expanded their stats (Joe Nedney is still a very solid kicker for the niners, Ricky Manning Jr. had a good 2005 season with the Bears, Will Witherspoon had two great seasons with the Rams after leaving Carolina, Marlon McCree played two good years with the Chargers.)

Seems like the Panthers know what players to let go. No huge losses.

If you think that Jake Delhomme is "arguable" as to him being a bust or not your nuts. David Carr are Keyshawn Johnson bust. Someone who keeps you competitive for 5 years and has one bad night does not make him a bust.

Jeff Lewis was a bust

DJ Hackett was a bust

Justin Hartwig was a bust

Sean Gilbert was a fat bust

Sean Gilbert was not a bust. If you look at his numbers for those first few years as a Panther, they compare well to the top DTs at the time. They actually are as good as Hayneworth last year, Jenkins, Sapp, many others. The front office was the bust by not working the deal to lessen the franchise player hit before making the offer to him.

    • I have been on the Bech bandwagon since well before the SR Bowl.  Hoping that he would stay a hidden gem and we'd be smart enough to grab him late.  I just don't think Morgan cares as much about WR as we do
    • No one had posted in a month.  I don't think any of us were watching
    • Here is how this draft could get mind-blowingly complicated--Interesting comment about Jags floating the Jeanty idea to lure Chicago into a trade.  I have to think Ben Johnson is going to duplicate in many ways the success he had in Detroit, and I have to think their free agency was following the blueprint Carolina designed last year (one that the Saints designed before them with Brees) and they upgraded all of their interior linemen.  RT in Chicago is set; Johnson loves RT Darnell Wright.  However, at LT, Braxton Jones is coming off a December injury and is considered to be in a competition for the position this year by at least a few fans on the Bears Wire.  His PFF score, however, was solid, posting an 80+ score in pass protection and 70+ score in run blocking.  He is in his prime.  However, in some of their fan mocks, the Bears are taking a LT.  I thought they needed an Edge to play 4-3 strong side across from Sweat, but they signed Odeyingbo to a pretty big contract in March. For the Bears, in my view, it comes down to TE or Running Back. Kmet is their #1 TE and he had 474 yards in that role, which was 25th in the NFL last season for TEs.  Adding Warren would help upgrade the TE spot and give them the ability to add around an estimated 80 yards of production per game.  The Bears have D'Andre Swift at RB, but could use a RB to pair with him for a desired 2 RB attack.  So if I am Da Bears, I stay at 10 and take Warren.  If the Jags want to move on from Etienne, then they will take Jeanty. I think, if I were the Jags (with 10 picks this year) I would take Mason Graham and not try to get an 11th pick.  It is a need position, and it seems to me the only reason they are toying with the idea of moving on from Etienne is because Jeanty is on the board.  That, to me, would be a luxury pick. New GM, I think he does not get cute--they take Graham if they stay at 5.  I might say the Jags' biggest need is Corner.  #5 is too rich for Will Johnson, but remember, they have 10 picks.  could they move up with Cleveland and take Hunter, giving them a CB and WR threat?  To me, with the draft capital they have, that is the move they should make.  Cleveland then could move back to #5.  Remember, Nick Chubb is an aging (29) free agent coming off an injury--so he is gone.  With an additional second rounder, the Browns move back and take Jeanty to give Flacco a running game. The Jags pick is very interesting, but I would not be surprised to see them move up.
