Well, one of the times in a football year that I look forward to is March/ April due to the free agent signing period opening up and the draft next month. Let's hear your expertise on what your team needs to do, or just vent a little like I'm fixin' to do.
CAROLINA PANTHERS
-Well, we've all known Julius Peppers was gone, well now he's a Chicago Bear...
-We all hoped Jake Delhomme would be shown the door, but no one thought about the fact that Matt Moore and Josh McCown would be what's left. We all have high hopes for Moore, but what if he gets hurt?? There aren't any decent backups available this year....
-They released Damione Lewis and Ma'ake Kemoeatu, Tyler Brayton is unrestricted, and once again, Julius Peppers is now a Bear...imploding our D-Line leaving nothing but a few backups who haven't played.
-They cut Na'il Diggs and Landon Johnson leaving only Dan Connor, Jon Beason, and Thomas Davis who is recovering from knee surgery and won't be ready for training camp.
-When was the last time you heard of a Panthers wide receiver other than Steve Smith? It's easy to roll coverage to Smith when you don't worry about getting burned on the other side.
-Oh, did I mention that once again we have no first round draft choice?
MY SOLUTIONS.....
-Trade DeAngelo Williams for a top tier WR or first round pick. Jonathan Stewart is waiting in the wings and we have Goodson and Sutton as backups. Williams contract is up after this year and the Panthers aren't going to pay 2 RB's top dollar to split carries.
-Sign Aaron Kampmann from Green Bay...he's no Pep, but right now, he's the best out there now that KVB signed with the Lions.
-Trade for Michael Vick. I know, I know... I have hated him for his whole career, but I think he's trying to prove to the world that he can still play. He's publicly stated the Panthers were the team he wanted to go to. Question is, will Jerry Richardson open his wallet to someone with Vicks' past when he's still reeling from the whole Rae Carruth debacle.
-Make DT an WR the priority in free agency....take a chance on T.O. he'll take some of the pressure off of Smitty.
-Fire Marty Hurney GM of the Panthers. He's waited to long to make these moves and have ruined the future by trading our first round picks the last two years.
Let's hear what you'd do for your team now!
