The 37-year-old averaged 72 tackles and 2.5 interceptions during his two seasons in electric blue. While Adams was an adequate steward at both the free safety and strong safety positions, by the end of the 2018 season it became obvious that the Panthers lack speed and range at their safety position.With Eric Reid being resigned earlier this month, the team is in need of a free safety with enough mobility to allow Reid to excel underneath. Whether a free safety will be added through free agency or through the draft remains to be seen, but Panthers’ head coach Ron Rivera has always coveted experience in his defensive secondary. While Adams’ experience is virtually impossible to replace Terry Godwin Carolina Panthers Jersey , his ability to get to his spot after diagnosing the play has become a concern.CSR expects that Adams’ replacement will be found in free agency. Rivera and company already have a young safety in Rashaan Gaulden, as well as a promising second year cornerback in Donte Jackson. This might already be as much youth as Rivera can tolerate in one personnel group.While many fans hope the Panthers go after Earl Thomas or Ha Ha Clinton-Dix this offseason, the organization’s M.O. at the safety position suggests that they will be on the lookout for a young under-the-radar veteran type in free agency to fill the starting safety spot opposite Eric Reid. Drafting a safety in the first three rounds would suggest that the organization is exploring starting a young free safety. We suspect that this would be a result of not finding an adequate enough free agent at the position. A hedging of bets, if you will.A list of safeties the Panthers have under contract in 2019:Eric Reid (projected starter at strong safety)Da’Norris Searcy (projected top backup at strong safety)Rashaan Gaulden (projected starter at free safety, in mix for starting nickel spot)Damian Parms (if on 2019 roster, safety depth/special teams)Cole Luke (if on 2019 roster Youth Terry Godwin Jersey , safety depth/special teams)Kai Nacua (if on 2019 roster, safety depth/special teams) The six-time Pro Bowler will face his former team in Week 2 and Week 6 in 2019."

New Carolina Panthers defensive tackle Gerald McCoy will have two shots to serve some revenge against his former team in 2019 as the Panthers will face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday Night Football in Week 2, and then again in Week 6 when both teams make the trip across the pond to play in London.The Panthers were one of the three favorites to land McCoy’s services after he paid visits to Carolina, Cleveland and Baltimore last week, and while McCoy will probably never outright say it Blue Michael Palardy Jersey , it’s hard to believe that the chance to get some revenge against his former team wasn’t in the back of his mind when he was weighing his options.Of course, it’s being reported that the Panthers offered McCoy more money than the Browns, so it’s extremely likely that was a major factor in his decision, but I can’t shake the thought that McCoy wanted to personally show the Bucs how big of a mistake they made by letting him go and replacing him with Ndamukong Suh. (They even gave him McCoy’s old jersey number! How rude is that?)At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter much why McCoy chose to sign with Carolina. Maybe he was just chasing the biggest paycheck. Maybe he thinks the Panthers give him the best chance to win a Super Bowl as he enters the twilight of his career. Or maybe, just maybe Michael Palardy Jersey 2019 , he wants to get some revenge on the team who drafted him, paid him millions of dollars to chase opposing quarterbacks and then cut him loose when it was convenient for them to do so. Revenge is one hell of a motivational tool, so let’s hope that McCoy uses that to have one of his best seasons yet. The Panthers could certainly benefit from it.
