PantherDave Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 They have backed off restructuring Peppers contract, most likely the bite later would be worse than the bite vs the cap this season....so Jules will get his 15 mill this year. Mike Whale restructured to free up 1.3 mill more which should put Carolina around????11-13 mill under the cap I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PantherDave Posted March 4, 2007 Author Share Posted March 4, 2007 Hurney has made it clear that the Panthers will not be that active in FA this year( nor did they plan to be), as they are planning for the draft. So, the 10-12 mill they have gotten under the cap will be (90%)used for the signing of draft picks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PantherDave Posted March 4, 2007 Author Share Posted March 4, 2007 (edited) Also, as I expected, they are gonna just try again, same players with new starters at some positions, with a different offensive scheme. They have signed/resigned 21 of 22 starters from a year ago. James Anderson will replace Diggs at WLB, Stanley McGlover at DE opposite Jules, and as I expected Michael Gaines will now be the starting TE. Shaun Williams was released, the only starter not returning. The focus does seem to be on S in April and Nelson or Landry should be there at 14.

So Diggs was signed as a backup or will there be open competition? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PantherDave Posted March 4, 2007 Author Share Posted March 4, 2007 So Diggs was signed as a backup or will there be open competition? They say " open competition" but it's not, Anderson is the starter at WLB in 07....and hopefully beyond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Waffle Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Did not Anderson draw comparisons to the departed Witherspoon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Did not Anderson draw comparisons to the departed Witherspoon I remember him saying they are different but carry a pretty equal skill set. He thought at the time Anderson would do well replacing Spoon. I can't find the article now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PantherDave Posted March 4, 2007 Author Share Posted March 4, 2007 ...also, Hurney said the Panthers have no visits with any FA scheduled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathrow20 Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Whatever happend to the talk surrounding DeShaun Foster being released? Is DeAngelo Williams ready to step and be the man? And I would bet 5 to 1 odds that if there's a RB in the draft with a "De" beginning to their name, Carolina will pick them up quickly!

PantherDave Posted March 5, 2007 Author Share Posted March 5, 2007 OK next you'll tell me we will be pumping old De-light tunes through the PA come game time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PantherDave Posted March 5, 2007 Author Share Posted March 5, 2007 ..also, Smitty is due a new contract(they are going to redo the old one). So, it makes alot of sense to me now....they got it to where Jules needed no restructuring and will get his 15 mill this year..ala Peppers is happy, and Smitty gets anew deal and more $$ as well-leaving enough for the draft picks. Which does make sense to keep your two best players happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PantherDave Posted March 5, 2007 Author Share Posted March 5, 2007 ..also, the Panthers will redo Jordan Gross's contract which will not make him a FA next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
