The most memorable comments from Dave Gettleman’s end of season press conference were a glimpse into the Panthers’ free agency budget: “Last year we were shopping in the dollar store. This year we may be able to move up in class a little bit.”When asked if that meant the Panthers could go shopping at a high-end place like Nordstrom, Gettleman warned: “I said we’re going to move up in class. I didn’t say we’re going to go out and spend big money on a player.”Over the next few weeks, we’ll take a look at free agents who will be available* at Carolina’s positions of need, and at which store the Panthers would likely have to go to if they wanted to land them.Part 1 – WRsPart 2 – OTs:[accordion_item open=”true” title=”NORDSTROM”]King Dunlap (Chargers)Bryan Bulaga (Packers)

• Dunlap isn’t elite, but as the top left tackle on the market, the Chargers will likely pay plenty to make sure he stays … Bulaga could become the NFL’s highest-paid right tackle.

[accordion_item open=”true” title=”TARGET”]Michael Roos (Titans)Doug Free (Cowboys)Joe Barksdale (Rams)Derek Newton (Texans)

• When Roos is the second-best left tackle on the market, that’s not good for teams in need of left tackles. He’s hinted at retirement, but a good offer may convince him to keep playing … Free and Barksdale fall behind Bulaga as the best right tackles available … Newton had a surprisingly solid year and the Texans want to keep him around.

[accordion_item open=”true” title=”DOLLAR STORE”]Byron Bell (Panthers)Jermey Parnell (Cowboys)

• He’s not a great option, but Bell wouldn’t cost too much to bring back … The Cowboys will essentially pick between Free or the cheaper Parnell … you can find more UFA OTs here.
