Panthers Interested In Eric Decker and Hakeem Nicks

[El Chingon]

Nicks or Decker will not happen. Gettleman will buy in bulk at this position. Guys like Britt, Sidney Rice, Jacoby Jones, Jerricho Cotchery and Jacoby Ford are more realistic options.

If he is replaced with a younger player of his equal and nothing else than the team is certainly better off. He has at the very most two years left and needs to be replaced no matter what else happens. 

 

No doubt about that, his days are coming to a conclussion. But younger players are a dime a dozen. Great players are rare as hen's teeth. We will most likley never find another steve smith. I was hoping for a transition where he could help a young talent also become great. Maybe I am still trying to hold on to whats gone, but he has been the mainstay at carolina and I am sad to see it come to an end.

What's funny is at this point, this will probably be our receiver core next year. what a joke.

Adam Schefter said this morning on Mike and Mike that Carolina is the most likely destination for Nicks. Hope he's right and not just speculating.

He was playing decent before Manning. Demaryius Thomas was drafted in the same draft as Decker.

 

Hmmm thought they got Decker a year before.

Mike Martz said Nicks to Carolina is a perfect marriage on NFLN.

Wonder if Gettleman has had any contact with either of these receivers.  Probably just speculation.  Carolina was linked to Greg Jennings and Mike Wallace last offseason and we ended up with Domenik Hixon and Ted Ginn.

A possible outcome by May: Hakeem Nicks+Kelvin Benjamin

 

That could be a very possible scenario and upgrade we all want.  Hell even Nicks+Matthews, Nicks+Beckham Jr., and Nicks+Adams would all be a pretty sweet 1-2 situation compared to what we've been used to around these parts.

That looks great on paper but sign Hakeem Nicks and the Panthers are officially out of cap space.

If Smitty's released we're back toward like 9/10 million in space.  

 

I think Nicks can be signed for 3-4.5 mil.

We can dream.  I doubt Nicks comes to Carolina unless it's on a cap-friendly 1 year deal.
