Default Panthers tag C Ryan Kalil - not RB DeAngelo Willams or DE Charles Johnson

Good news for those of us toying with the notion of Deangelo Williams as a member of the Patriots.

Color me interested. I'd give him a deal like Dante Stallworth. If he has a great year, let him opt out. Player option. Gives him a chance to re-establish his worth on a very good team.

Green Ellis
Woodhead
Williams
Rookie
Fullback / Faulk

Would be a sexy combo of backs.

The chart would have Williams sitting on the top as the number 1 comfortably. He can break out for a TD on any given run.

Relatively expensive rb with a foot injury? No thanks.

Young legs in every draft.

And, yet, the best the Patriots have found that way has been Maroney/BJGE.

Too expensive, foot injury, and his game is based on speed. He's turning 28 and once he loses his speed his game will be nothing. CJ's only 25 and he looks slower.

Appears Kalil will be happy to sign his franchise tag soon.

Johnson's significantly smaller, and he has seasons with 251, 358 and 316 carries. Williams has carried 121, 144, 273, 216 and last year's injury-caused 87 carries. There's nothing in his career that says he can't be extremely successful as a tandem back going forward for a couple more seasons, presuming doctors find his foot to be fully recovered.

I confess to watching not a single Panther game last year.

I'd love to sign Williams, but I don't suppose Johnson could play in a 3-4 system?
