2014 WR Free Agents

Lafell will take a small contract....he can produce at times and his blocking as a WR is undervalued in our Off by the public...Ginn for sure...Mitchell too...Hardy looks like we'll have to let walk....too many big contracts coming in the following year....and we have a few other holes we can fill with his big cap number that he will request.  KEEP POUNDING!

Is there anyway we can get Johnson and Johnson. Andre and Chris?

Andre could be exactly what Boldin is to Kap to Cam.

AJ is a year younger than Boldin. Draft two receivers still though, let them learn from Johnson and Smitty and have a solid rotation going.

If you would have Asked me this question last week I would have said no, have to get younger. But Johnson still has "it" like Boldin. This would also allow Smitty to work the slot. Plus Johnson is a guy like Smitty that Cam could trust from day 1

We need one of those guys who excels at getting open in the middle of the field.  Doesn't have to be 6'4" or run a 4.4, just a guy who understands getting open and can do it regularly. Somebody who can bail out Cam consistently when nothing down field is available, even if its just 8-10 yards completions.  Olsen has kind of evolved into that guy but if we could get a WR who might make someone miss occasionally it might add another element to the offense.  We will also need to have an offensive philosophy that allows us to utilize such an individual

I wouldn't re-sign Ginn or Hixon. I'd keep LaFell as a 4th WR. Draft a receiver and sign someone like Kenny Britt.

 

I would keep Ginn as a returner and 4-5th receiver and offer to pay him accordingly.  If he isn't cool with that then let him go.  I can't imagine Hixon coming back.  If we could end up with Ginn/Lafell as our 4-5 receivers with SS, one high draft pick and one decent FA as our 1-3 that would be a definite upgrade if the new guys pan out.

Ginn, Edelman, and Nicks. Postpone WR for another year. Fix the line in the draft. Best LT in 1st. A safety (mikell is old and I'm not too sold on Lester although I love the upside) or corner in the second. Then look to CB/double dip OT in 3rd.

Have to move on from Deangelo this off-season. Despite the Cap ramifications we need that contract off the books moving forward.

    • Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Everyone talks about the most important positions on a football team… backup LT is in the top 10.  Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair. 
    • it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
    • Sounds like a plan. Those are the teams we should be mimicking! lol
