Not our only inactive offseason

Worth remembering that this is not the only offseason in which the Panthers have been largely inactive. A few years back the team did little of any note with the exception of signing one major free agent.

That free agent's name: David Carr :sosp:

(just to clarify, that wasn't meant to be comforting; just a statement of fact)

Yeah I'm not a huge fan of our off-season so far, but I understand why we aren't signing people and what we accomplished so far. We kept Gross and Gamble and Franchised Peppers, not too shabby.

One thing intrigued me though... I was talking to my brother (a Patriots fan) and he said the Peppers situation reminded him of Randy Moss a couple years ago. Got lots of press early in the off-season but it trailed off until draft day when he was traded for a 4th rounder. I could see something similar happening with Peppers, with (like someone above said) a draft day trade. We'll get more than a 4th round pick obviously, but I could see him being part of a draft day trade. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if they're eyeballing a guy in round 1 and if he's there when a team interested in Peppers is up they'll pull the trigger on a trade.

I agree

i can see a moss type situatiuon happening but we should get more than a 4th rounder.

moss only went for a 4th because he was a malcontent underachiever has been at that point who had dropped off into oblivion while at the raiders. he has his worst years and performances there and was seen as lazy. very few wanted to touch him.

it was a 4th rounder and he only got a one year deal out of the situation for a reason. no one really believed that he could achieve anything close to what he did while in minny years earlier.

peppers, while he is probably viewed a little funny, has a better reputation than moss and is coming off a much better year than what moss had his last year as a raider.

i would be happy with 1 earlier first rounder for him. that is still a possibility.

and our record that following season was 7-9.

people who like to style themselves the voice of reason told everyone it was good that we returned 21 of 22 starters that offseason.

but if you're not getting better, you're getting worse.

:iamwithstupid:

So many people were singing the praises of having all the previous year's starters returning. Big deal!

I laugh every time I see that avatar!

      I remember the Huddle consensus over the course of last season and the previous one. Lots of Bryce is a bust, we should've drafted a 4th slot WR, should've kept Wilks, should've kept an armless Cam, etc etc. So... yea... already thought about that. I wouldn't trust the Huddle to detail my car, let alone run a multi-billion dollar professional sports team. 😛

      bold prediction, I think Mike Green will be the best pass rusher in this class, and thats even with abdul carter.  He reminds me of demarcus ware, not just in size and prowess, but even coming from a Sunbelt school (Ware from Troy, Green from Marshall).  I think he is passionate about the sport where I think Carter as the physical freak might not have the heart.  Thats the guy Im sold on and am gonna hammer the table for, I know he's not projected 8, but he is projected like 12-13, so if a slide back can happen and we still get the guy I want, I'm 100% on board. All that said, it takes 2 to tango, I think the Cowboys are the tango-er.  IMO theres a VERY good shot that Jeanty is available at 8.  Why does that matter?  Not only do the cowboys NEED a runningback (dak sucks without a run game), but MORE importantly, gee where did Jeanty play in high school.....Frisco TX, literally Dallas Metro.  Soo, RB is a position of need and the best RB and most blue chip draft selection that  could improve the offense immensly played IN dallas metro AND will be in range for them to move up and pick?  Do ya think Jerry Jones is gonna just say no to the Jersey Sales?  Jerry might have sexually assaulted a woman and attempted to prevent black people from going to school, but he's no idiot (he is).  IMO, we get a good enough package, prlly their first and third,  maybe a conditional later and we move to 12.  We get Green, they get Jeanty, everbuddy happy.
