Panthers Potential Unrestricted Free Agent Targets

Long-time CSR reader Charlsong offers the following opinion on the Panthers potential free agent acquisitions:

I want to get off topic for a second, though.  We agree that we need OL help, and maybe a power runner and a safety.  So I looked up some free agent info to see where we need to go.  I'm assuming that (Mike) Rucker will back-up Charles Johnson and (Dwayne) Jarrett will prove to be a solid #2, DeShaun Foster is going to be cut, Dan Morgan will be cut, and Gross will be signed to a long-term contract.

This is who I want from the Unrestricted Free Agent List:

Tony Richardson, FB
LaBrandon Toefield or TJ Duckett, RB
Alan Faneca, G
Ken Hamlin or Gibril Wilson, S

I like the idea of Alan Faneca and Jordan Gross on the right side, with D-Will following Richardson for big gains.  LJ ran for over 3500 yards and 30 TDs behind Richardson before he went to Minnesota and led AP and Chester Taylor.  Then if we need to, we get the ball to Duckett inside the five.  I was shouting for us to get Ken Hamlin last year.  He went to the Pro Bowl, and now we should get him.

Then we draft two OL, a young safety, a young LB, and a couple DL.

This is a good site to see who else is out there. The Panthers have rarely gotten into bidding wars for the top FA's but maybe they will surprise us. I'd like to see one of the top pass rushers to come over like Jared Allen or Terrell Suggs. Both of those are long shots but we can dream.

Thanks for your comments Charlsong!
