Depending on what kind of $ he demands, do you all think we could/should try to sign him?

[Mr. Scot]

Always thought he was overrated.

I was actually talking to a friend of mine who is a Boys fan (other than that he is a stand up guy) and said it wouldn't surprise me if we went after Austin cheep.... he would instantly be the second best WR on the team.

[Monday Night Shyamalan]

Meh. He was good in his hay-day, don't think he's the piece we need for the immediate future.

[Peppers90 NC]

hope not, certainly not the worst option though

[carolina-chuck]

Rather have Nicks.

[CatMan72]

For the right price, absolutely... but he's had lots of problems staying healthy so buyer beware. 

[KissMyConverse]

Rather have Nicks.

Why not both if they come cheaper than expected?

I think someone is going to bid high on Nicks, would be really surprised if he ends up here.

Bc, I dont see Gman pulling the trigger on two solid receivers in FA. I cant really remember a time where that ever happened in the NFL before too.

I guess the general assumption was that since he had a REALLY down year and declined in general over the last two years, that he would have to go somewhere on a one year deal and prove his worth. Add in all the ties to Charlotte, Getts, and NC in general and the Panthers make sense.

 

But you're more than likely right. Someone will throw big money at him for his past performance hoping he will rekindle it.

Only on the Carolina Huddle.

I guess the key word there is Solid. Austin was an after after thought on his own team behind Dez and Whitton and the young guys that were stepping up. And while Nicks wasn't an after thought he just didn't play up to par.

 

Nicks could be elite and maybe getting home sparks that but I looked at Austin as an also ran that people were over looking but who would also be a bigger upgrade for a team like us. And maybe coming in and playing a bigger role will be what draws someone like him who went from being the man for one season to "meh"

Good lawd look at that contract the Cowboys gave him. It could always be worse guys...
