Free Agent Signings Thread

[panthersfan#2]

I hope the GM got some monsters for the Dline. It's badly needed. Your DBs have to be REALLY good if your Dline can't pass rush. Same thing with running the ball.

All I have to say is that so far we have downgraded the team through waivers. I hope that we have something planned.

[RomanG18]

This is still a work in progress. Waiver pickups filled some backup spots plus Harrison could fill a need. Hurney needs to step it up with the free agents at DT, CB RG or this season will be unwatchable after week one.

[Jackofalltrades]

Harrison is a monster, the couple games I saw he was Jenkins-like.

[Jackofalltrades]

I don't get why we replaced inexperienced late round DB's with more of the same.

[KillerKat]

You really believe that?

Hanson was the guy who was going to be our starter, then other teams got interested and we backed off. Sissied out. Have no room for proven veteran players on this team. We want "up and comers" and "guys we really liked coming out"

Absurd.

For what it's worth, I hope you're right.

He wasn't going to be our starter because he isn't one.

I'll trust you on that, but I still hope we pick up maybe 2 of the top 4 DT FAs.

Likewise CBs.

OK Panthers, let's spend some money. It's time for the

[Proudiddy]

I'm really hoping Will Allen or Lito Sheppard is in our future.

Justin Gage? - EDIT: DONNIE AVERY (although I know this is too good of a signing to happen)

Max Jean-Gilles?

Tommie Harris?

If we don't get at least one or two of these guys, I will go apesh*t.

[Cat'sGrowl]

I'd rather have Donnie Avery than Gage, I believe.

Of course Donnie Avery was on waivers and instead of signing him, we continued to sign players who won't do anything other than occupy cap space and a roster spot.

Brilliant.

Yeah, I hope he's a young guy the see potential in that can also play right now, but I certainly would not be satisfied if we stopped with just him. I still think we'll see and older vet. P Williams is 39 AND subject to a two game suspension. Personally I like J Williams more as he's a little younger and not in any trouble.

We still only have 4 DT's on the roster, we'll certainly pick up, at least, one more.

Oops, Donnie Avery is my favorite available too. Sorry, I subconsciously removed him from my options bank because I know Hurney won't f*cking look at him. Gage fits the big, slow, worthless mold we're looking for so I put him.

And I'm with you on the waiver thing... I don't get cutting a guy you've had in your camp and preseason who played well, and replacing him with a developmental project from your old team... Yet, Brandon Tate and Avery are out there to be had, all you have to do is say "yes" and no other team can do anything about it...

At the least, bring them in and see what they can do... If they don't impress, cut them... Like we'll most likely do with 3-4 of the players out of the 5 we claimed today.

[d-run]

Avery must still be having problems with his injury or something. He played to well in the past for no team to put a waiver in on him. Doesn't add up.

[Proudiddy]

Nah, I've saw several sources say he was expected to fall through waivers unclaimed because of his guaranteed base salary was around 600k, and in total by not claiming him, the Rams are on the hook for over 1m owed to him.

That's still cheap in my book, considering his production when he was healthy, so I don't get it.
