    Panthers:

    Grade: C-

    Key signings: WR Jerricho Cotchery, QB Derek Anderson, SS Roman Harper
    Key subtractions: WR Steve Smith, LT Jordan Gross, CB Captain Munnerlyn, S Mike Mitchell, WR Brandon LaFell, WR Ted Ginn Jr.

    The Panthers make for an easy target in free agency, but unlike some other teams, their problems predated the current personnel department. It's tough to hold GM Dave Gettleman fully accountable for an offseason in which he's been cleaning up messes left behind by predecessors. Putting the franchise tag on defensive end Greg Hardy made sense, but it didn't help the short-term financial outlook. We should note, however, that defensive improvements were the leading reason behind the Panthers' jump to a 12-4 record last season.

    "They are cap-strapped, so what are you going to do?" Polian said. "They have done the best they could in a tight situation. They have to do the rest in the draft, which is better than spending bad money in free agency."

    For a couple of years I've thought the Panthers should be adding young weaponry to grow with quarterback Cam Newton. The team has little choice but to follow that course all at once. It's unfortunate Carolina doesn't have an ascending young receiver to help ease the transition.

    That's one of the biggest problems with ESPN now. Everyone who's still in the league pretty much has a cheerleader covering from the outside.


    What a fucking load of crap.

    Telling Nicks he'd be better off signing elsewhere was a great start.

    Carlos Rogers signs with Oakland to be their slot DB.


    They literally have a Pro Bowl roster from 2009.

    Good. I didn't want us to even to consider that head case, in spite of his talent when he's healthy.

    His talent level is pretty overstated. Unless you consider dropping passes a talent.
