BeeR Posted March 16, 2014 Author Share Posted March 16, 2014 CAR has no wideouts. None. Their starters right now are Tavarres King and Marvin McNutt I think.How can this not hurt Cam Newton? He was never huge on throwing to WR anyway but now is missing this top four WR from last year. Steve Smith, Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn Jr. and Domenik Hixon are all gone. That means the remaining wideouts on the team accounted for five targets and ZERO catches in 2013. Agreed DMD; I can see why they let Smith go, but I'm amazed they didn't sign at least 1 of the others. I wonder what direction they'll go in the draft?

Papajohn Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Am I the only one who is a little bit surprised of the lack of news surrounding James Jones? If I were the Patriots or the Broncos I would prefer Jones to both Lafell and Sanders and I would still like him in New England as he would provide a red zone target when Gronk gets injured again. I wonder what his contract demands are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flemingd Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Am I the only one who is a little bit surprised of the lack of news surrounding James Jones? No you are not. I'm borderline amazed. Was hoping he'd end up in IND, but CAR would also be pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazinib1 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 James Jones just told ESPN reporter Josina Anderson that he wants to play for the Panthers. I doubt they have the cap space to sign him, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt they have the cap space to sign him, however. Of course he does and he may sign for less. Great defense, solid QB, solid running game, solid TE, and he'd be the #1 WR. they'd draft o-line help in round 1 and wrs afterward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those dumbass RB contracts are killing them, and $29M on DE's isn't helping either. Good lord, they have $28M in dead money on those terrible RB's, someone should be shot for that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whomper Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Im gl;ad the Cowboys didnt throw money at peppers. I like him a lot but this isnt a win now team and he is old. Whats the story with Tyrone Crawford ? Is he healed up for the start of the upcoming season ? Maybe he can fill the DE void ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they can reduce Greg Hardy's cap number through negotiating his contract and fit him in. He can produce and score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flemingd Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Yuck stain! Yeah I thought he was a little younger, I would have liked it a bit more, but now even if they do get it right with a rookie QB Jones isn't going to be in his prime to benefit.

Papajohn Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 James Jones signs with the Raiders for the same amount of money as Brandon LaFell. Somebody in the Patriots organization is hopefully way smarter than I am in this matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 From Rotoworld Browns signed WR Andrew Hawkins, formerly of the Bengals, to a four-year, $13.6 million contract. The Bengals had until midnight to match the Browns' offer sheet but informed Hawkins they weren't going to do so. Four years and $13.6 million with a $5.8 million first-year cap number is a hefty price to pay for a 5-foot-7, 180-pound jitterbug slot receiver, but the Browns badly needed a talent infusion on offense.

stevegrab Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Browns have a ton of cap space this year, so a large number there isn't going to hurt too much. They tried to sign him after he came back into the NFL after playing in Canada. Somebody in the front office thinks he is capable. BTW Wes Welker is only 5-9 and 190, not exactly a giant compared to Hawkins and he's done quite well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeR Posted March 19, 2014 Author Share Posted March 19, 2014 Credit where due, CLE has done well with their FA moves IMO. Hopefully Colts steal Mack away from them (why no action on this guy?) but if not, and if they can draft a QB who doesn't fizzle, the laughingstock could suddenly become a valid team. QB seems the obvious move initially, but I can see nabbing someone else (Watkins or Clowney if he falls) and going for someone like Carr in the 2d.
