2009 Free Agents

crowell is one of those solid unspectacular LBs that you can get cheaply every year... and we always seem to pass on them (brandon short a couple years ago etc).

LB depth would be a nice thing to have, and i don't know why the team has ignored it for 2-3 years...

I'd like to have both for sure. I know SmootSmack and a few others kicked around the idea of Landon Johnson to help the LB situation. He restructured his deal and will stay a Panther.

I think Canty would be a very solid addition to the team. Fletcher's apparently pushing hard for Crowell.

As a follow up question to the possibility of signing AH... I'm almost completely baffled how we could afford him. From what I've read he's demanding about $15 mil per year on the books i.e. against a team's cap. Even after cutting Springs we'd only have about $10 mil in space and the only other player who we could cut to free up enough to make this work... Jason Taylor?

DirtyLandry · 02-24-2009, 09:28 PM

Falcons could release Keith Brooking. Heres a guy who can play inside and out.

Hamoskinz · 02-24-2009, 11:36 PM

I like Angelo Crowell or Michael Boley... solid guys with probably lower price tags. Also, Chris Canty is great but probably abit more expensive but get him if we can afford it.

at 100mill it's be about 11mill actual 2009 impact, springs and taylor free up 14.5.

that's oversimplifying it a bit, but it's doable... that'd basically be the entire offseason though, signing hall would be a lot harder now that griffin's restructuring (meaning you can't cut him to save 4mill anymore).

what about Donnie Edwards? the guy can flat out play, and i wouldn't think he would command top dollar

MTK · 02-25-2009, 09:05 AM

Edwards is going to be 36 in April, the guy can still play but I'd be nervous about his play dropping off suddenly due to his age. Plus he's not a physical kind of LB. Not sure he would fit in this scheme.

Two Virginia guys, I can get on board with that. Draft Eugene Monroe and then we'd be doing something

Now your talkin my language SC. Eugene Monroe is my first choice of all draft prospects. Unfortunatly, he will probably be gone.

Offensive Tackle
6’ 6” 315 lbs.
Virginia
Strengths: Size, Agility, Run Blocking, Pass Protection, ability to start.

This would be a great year to get a stud OT

SmootSmack · 02-25-2009, 02:23 PM

Some pretty big names cut today

Warrick Dunn
Ike Hilliard
Cato June
Derrick Brooks
Joey Galloway
Jeremy Bridges
DJ Hackett

SOUL-SKINS · 02-25-2009, 02:24 PM

Just Heard DJ Hackett got released by the Panthers......what do you guys think? Cato June aslo released.
I know last year we wanted Hackett but I guess he turned out to be a bust for the Panthers
