I'd prefer Campbell, but he's 30, but could put us over the hump...

That might work if Fairley lands elsewhere.

I'd rather spend our draft picks for a younger, faster, stronger defense and spend our cap money on our quarterback and offensive line...

It's alot easier this year to fix the o-line in free agency than the defense anyways...

And many here are forgetting that Tyeler Davison played most of the season injured with a torn pectoral...

We've got two really good UDRFAs plus a draft to get a quality rotational player to play the NT with Davison...

We need a DE to bookend with Cam Jordan who has both the length and strength to set the edge and allow Rankins and Ony to get after it on the inside...

If Fairley is over 5mil per annum, he's gone...

And he's easily performed for those numbers in this year's market...

Here's the thing - We've got a logjam now at interior DL with Rankins, Davison, Ony and you're going to commit those kind of numbers to a rotational DL when you've got a glaring need at DE to go opposite Cam Jordan?

Obviously it could just be speculation, but you're kidding yourself if you think Payton won't try to get a new toy for the offense. Patterson would be good for the return man/satellite RB role.

Patterson would certainly solve our kick returner problem.

That problem runs much deeper than just whoever's catching the ball. Can Banta solve our kick returner problem?

Patterson? hmmm former first-round pick that is pretty much a bust. For a "reasonable price" of 4 to 6 million? pass

Instead give me one of these guys instead, all should go in the same price range

Rick Wagner RT Ravens
A.J. Klein MLB Carolina
Micah Hyde FS/SS Green Bay
Lawrence Guy, DE/DT, Ravens
Justin Hunter WR Buffalo Bills
Rex Burkhead RB Bengals

Offense will always come first. Last year's biggest need: defense, defense, defense. Our big FA signing: TE. Payton loves his toys.

PFT on Hagan's guy...

A.J. Klein likely to leave Carolina for starting opportunity | ProFootballTalk

Versatile & has play making ability. Micah did a lot of good things last year on a decimated GB defense. We must acquire these type players via FA and/or draft in order to compete in 2017.
