Under the radar free agents per PFF ..

Mario Addison is intriguing & the production within a 4-3 system is there.

Chris, Hagan, JP or anyone here... your thoughts on Addison?

Re: 2017 Free Agency thread anyone?
 

As far as play on the field, Galette 2.0; one dimensional; plus, he'll be 30 next season and I'd expect his speed to really start tailing off and that's what his game is predicated...

With the speed that we'll have coming from the inside rush, we really more of a contain and squeeze defensive end vs a speed linebacker type that Galette was...

Rather have a bigger, longer, taller Defensive End setting the edge; kind of a 6-4/6-5, 280/290 dancing bear with wingspan to really slow down those wheel routes and screens...

I agree with your assessment of the player. But this is where I respectfully disagree," the speed we have coming from the inside". The reason I have to disagree, which I admit pressure was better, it's still missing something, it's missing that 1 player to put them over the top on the inside and until they find that 1 player it will be the same look as last season with pressures and sacks and we looked better than recent years we were still poor in those areas. This is the reason I'm not as high on Farley like others are. JP take into account how much Allen blitzes and we still were not able to get to the qb and without crushing the middle our inside just look better than it really is. We can't just have decent pressure it has to be pure pressure to work.

FA Kawann Short will govern it all.

I am expecting top 5 DT money making the signing of there UFA impossible.

Mario is Young and up coming it would appear. He flashes. Not steady at this point but the signs look good that he can get better.


Mario is in the process of taking over for age so I see the panthers doing all they can to keep him off the market. Just starting to play as a starter means the panthers should be able to keep him cheap. He is just now gettiing his chance to be the starter.

Thats why I am looking at AJ Klien a player when called produced year in and year out no matter where he played. I think he is one that might just leave to get an honest shot at starting. Saints are a good team to offer him that chance.

Re: 2017 Free Agency thread anyone?
 

I'm curious what type of money Fairley wants wheather we sign him or not? I would hate for the FO to hand out another huge contract to a good player but no where near a game changer.

Re: 2017 Free Agency thread anyone?
 

Linebackers are good and as always we need DE and CB's I say we throw some money at it this year as well as draft heavy.

Re: 2017 Free Agency thread anyone?
 

this is one of my fears. the other is him getting the money and once again stops playing and ends up eating wings in the press box

Re: 2017 Free Agency thread anyone?
 

This is where I feel we should get a cb, DE and O-line help. Some good one's up for grabs in FA. I also think Kruger should get another prove it contract.

Re: 2017 Free Agency thread anyone?
 

I'd go DE in free agency. Rookies can take the most time to develop at DE.

If it's my $30M, I sign Hightower and Melvin Ingram.
