Hearing those words come out of Dale Tallon’s mouth is pretty joyful, and quite refreshing too. It’s been a while since the Panthers have been able to sign marquee free agents, with the last time being two summers ago. But if you flashback way into the past, when have the Panthers really been on the radar for a big summer signing?
Historically, the Cats have never ‘really’ had it in their budget to spend big on free agents. Their method in the past for building up their team was through the draft and what they could afford via trade.
