DeAngelo Williams Re-Signs With Carolina Panthers

PrintUnrestricted free agent DeAngelo WIlliams has agreed to terms with the Carolina Panthers. Williams has played his whole career with the Panthers. Williams agreed to 5 year, 43 million 21 guaranteed.
The Broncos had a great interest in Williams. John Fox was the Panthers head coach last season, and coveted a two back attack with DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart. Fox was hoping to bring Williams to Denver with him to combine with Knowshon Moreno for a one-two punch.
Williams had said over the past few days that if he could he wanted to stay in Carolina. The only way that Denver could have got him is to way overpay, something that is risky on a 28 year old running back. The Broncos still hope to find another running back as the Broncos informed Correll Buckhalter of his release.

Phew...
… I really didn’t like the idea of signing him to a big contract.
Let’s go get Willis or Michael Bush now for half the price.
I think M.Bush is RFA.
I believe his tender is 1st and 3rd way too much for him, wouldn’t mind Mcgahee for cheap.
Also if Reggie Bush would want to come for like 1-2 mill I wouldn’t mind getting him/

the new CBA cancelled the 1st and 3rd tender
and replaced it with a 1st tender…. so to get Bush, you would have to be willing to part with only one 1st rounder. Technically that means you could ge the top rated RFAs at a discount, but in practice, it was the 1st round pick that was the “too steep” part of the cost…
It might be enough of a discount to convince some teams to take a shot though….

YAY!
Now we can go find a nice piece to add to the RB competition. Thank you Carolina!
I want to say how awesome a particular Rockies player is and that he will be the MVP, but the last time I mentioned it in my sig he went out with an injury, so, GO PLAYER WHO IS SO AWESOME!
Looks like Knowshon is gonna be starter
Williams was the only back out there who would have been 1a instead of 1b. But it’s nice not overpaying, and there are still some good backs out there.

They’re engaging prospects but keeping their heads. This is not the time to freak out and overpay for anyone, RB or DT.
Yeah!
Another one I’m glad we missed on. I know people are getting anxious, but we need to patient. Right now is not the time to buy. Prices are still way to high. Sell Orton and convince our own guys to stay. Go shopping Friday afternoon.
A little nasty on defense would be nice.

I look forward to watching him this preseason
I don’t think he was a “steal” but I suspect he will give us something productive.

This may sound crazy, but I'd rather have Fannin than Williams, McGahee, or any of the other heavily used UFA's
There are pretty consistently more successful Rookie FA or late round Running Backs than worn down, older FA’s.

AT first I didn't want Mcgahee
I thought he was the same type of back as White, but I went and checked his combine numbers, and the dude is fast, 4.28! Now I want him lol

Mcgahee runs a 4.28?
that cant be right..

LOL it was unofficial oh well
His official is 4.45.

Would you do Orton for Hightower?
Maybe Orton for Hightower + 6th Round pick?
Or Orton for Beanie Wells?
No
Hightower is a 3rd or 4th string back so that would need to be a 3rd or 4th round pick to get 2nd round value.
Arizona won’t give up Beanie Wells.

Some of the top RBs available are,
Bradshaw
Mcgahee
M.Bush
J.Addai
D.Sproles
some others
J.snelling
Hightower
R.brown
J.Norwood
Which do you guys want the most?
All we're trying to do is win a motherf*cking game!!
Bradshaw, mcgahee, bush, sproles, and brown
"The only thing I’m addicted to right now is winning." -Charlie Sheen
"I'm going to be a Bronco forever" -Rahim Moore
Based on that
Bush
Bradshaw
Addai
Sproles
McGahee
in that order. And I suspect they all receive similar deals to each other. Someone may overpay for Sproles.
The “Others” all can be had as roster filler being given a small bonus and a chance to make the team.

With Coach Zorro on our side, we will slice opponents to ribbons. Tim Tebow gives me hope and I already have faith and charity in my heart! I see a propitious future rife with Lombardis for our Broncos!

What about Brown?
He’s still relatively young and proven unlike a lot of those guys. I’m a firm believer that a strong one-two punch is why this team needs not and I just don’t see that happening with Snelling, Bush, ect.
by GoldenNugget on Jul 27, 2011 2:16 PM MDT via mobile up reply actions
Snelling McGahee Bush
and add Jerome Harrison
I like Snelling...
… Norwood too. I think both could be better than they have been given the chance to be.

I was so worried EFX was going to blow their wad on Williams....
So far so good for me as a fan, we didn’t need to spend that much on Williams or even Johnson whom Carolina is vastly overpaying as well. Bring on a DT or two and heck I’ll even be glad with McGahee….he seemed like a good goal line back with Baltimore

Denver is being calculated
Is DeAngelo the starter for 13+ games for the next 6 years? Not sure. But it’s not a great chance.
Good cause thats waaaaay too much money for a RB
thats coming off an injured season. Whats up with the panthers spending all this $ all of a sudden? They should have kept Peppers

Schefter just tweeted that Jabar Gaffney has been traded to WAS for DE Jeremy Jarmon.
Low-cut blouses are looked down upon in this establishment.
I can’t figure out how to make a tweet show up on its own page, otherwise I’d fanshot it.

He played in 5 games last year no starts
and played 11 games in 09 with one start, has 3 career tackles and a half off a sack.
All we're trying to do is win a motherf*cking game!!
I was kinda hoping we would keep him
but maybe theyre thinking decker and willis can step up
"It's all over fat man!"
-Tom Jackson
I like that
He does remind me a lot of Eddie Mac. I just hope Royal has been working on getting off the jam!
Absolutely!
I think Decker would’ve beat Gaffney out for #2 anyway but I guess now its a moot point.
The QB position is set!

Yeah, but he was a DE in a 3-4. 3-4 DE stats aren't generally spectacular.
As long as he’s a good run stuffing DT in the 4-3, I’m ecstatic.
by SoCalBroncsFan on Jul 27, 2011 1:05 PM MDT up reply actions
After looking at it more closely
It was a good move considering Gaff was on the chopping block anyway and a great move to free up some cap space. Jarmon has some great upside being that he is only 23 and his skill set is a better fit for the 4-3.
I am encouraged so far by the front office, hopefully we can get Mebane!
THANK YOU
Soooooo glad we didn’t overpay for this guy.

This is funny
2 days ago everybody is screaming for DeAngelo Williams——>re-signs with Carolina——> Everybody says good we didn’t get him, didnt want to pay much anyways
A baseball park is the one place where a man's wife doesn't mind his getting excited over somebody else's curves
only saying good because of the price. I still want him. I just would not pay him that much.
We dodged a bullet by not paying that kind of money to a close to 30 yr old RB

I am totally okay with D Williams not signing with Denver.
I’m not as excited about trading Gaffney with Thomas hurt.
"Well at least we picked a good year to suck" said Pat Bowlen after countersigning Von Miller's rookie contract.
I think it's a stroke of confidence in Decker and Royal
I actually like the move because similar to Tebow, we need to see what we have in Royal and if he can return to his rookie form. This will also help give Royal and Decker more opportunities and allow them to show coaches which guy should remain higher in the top 3 of the depth chart once Demaryius is healed up and ready to go.
Also explains why the signed 4 UDFA at the position, the competition for the 4/5 WR spots will be fa hard fought battle between Matthew Willis, Britt Davis, Eron Riley and the 4 new guys. WIth one of them likely to be cut/demoted when Demaryius is ready to come off the PUP

Good.
I didn’t think he was a fit. Too much like the guy we already have, even if he is more proven.
Good
I’m really happy that we didn’t pay over $8M/yr to a 28 year old RB.
I think Bannan isn't coming back, Nate Irving will start at MLB and Tim Tebow starts at QB. Oh, and VonDoom should combine for 20-25 sacks.
I like Jerome Harrison
I wouldn’t mind Jerome Harrison as a backup. He has done well whenever he plays.
finally!
was waiting for someone to say it. tread is great because he’s relatively unused. He can be had on the cheap, prolly has a huge chip on his shoulder from being shelved during ’10 when he carried cleveland on his back the last 4 games of ’09. DO IT

Glad we didn't waste that kind of money on a FA RB.....
