Lack of free-agent aggression, Panthers feels task ahead tough(3 What he said might be an understatement. Not one of the players being asked to step up was even a first-round pick. Granted, it was time for some of the veterans to be shown the door, as is the case with teams every year. But these wholesale changes are going to put too much pressure on a great coach like Fox and a real smart GM like Hurney.
It's not too late to strengthen this roster before free agency completely dries up. Go get guys looking for work, like a possible backup QB in Derek Anderson or veteran guard Bobbie Williams and hope you don't lose a corner like Richard Marshall in restricted free agency. The Arizona Cardinals have been hit hard in free agency, but at least the team traded for safety Kerry Rhodes when Antrel Rolle left. Without some key draft picks, the Chicago Bears have similar problems to the Carolina Panthers. However, they used free agency to support the roster. The champion Saints are in the NFC South with the Panthers, and that just makes things even tougher. You will never hear a peep out of Fox and Hurney about the challenges ahead. Still, here's a team that needs a starting receiver, a real No. 2 QB, some veteran help on the interior of the defensive line, an elite pass rusher, and more players for special teams. A handful of draft picks aren't going to be enough to get the job done. News for Friday 12 March, 2010
