Antoine Winfield cut by the Vikings

[PhillyB]

Possible Panthers pickup? Veteran presence, big need... maybe toss a cheap one-year deal at him and see if he'll bite?

[Dex]

Get off your ass Hurney and sign the man!

[Bj-Monster23]

I can see him likely going to a contender.

[UNCrules2187]

Yeah, I think he'd rather get a cheap deal with a contender than a cheap deal with us, but if he wants to sign, I'd welcome him.

[chknwing]

Get off your ass Hurney and sign the man!

drinking so early?

[PhillyB]

I'd give him one year 3mil if he'd take it. It'd make captain expendable and instantly solidify our secondary.

[carolina-chuck]

No. He's old and injury proned lately

[CRA]

I still don't think we touch a FA until we see someone of substance restructure....

We only are under the cap by what, 3-4 mill? Anderson is a June 1 so his space only helps later toward the start and that FA grab

[chknwing]

CRA, they can sign who they want right now as long as they are under the cap by cut down.

[rayzor]

the guy played over 1000 snaps last year and didnt have any TDs scored on him. plus he's one of the best corners in the league against the run.

yeah, he's toast.

[spartan_pantherfan]

This is one FA move I can really get behind. A solid corner that knows what hes doing while we bring our younger guys up, maybe even draft someone in the 2nd.

[pstall]

too bad its 2013. but Antoine is one of my fav non Panthers of the last several years. he and Ed Reed.

the thing is, both would be immediate and significant upgrades to what we have, and would be the short term, probably low cost pick ups gettleman talked about acquiring.

these are the type guys we need to plug holes with while we draft bpas.

[pstall]

oh i agree he is an upgrade. i wish it was 2006 for him skill level wise but yes he can help.
