sweet, news that doesnt involve michael bolton!

JR is playing hardball, he's not going give out big contracts until he absolutley has to.

This is scary because if somebody comes after him I doubt JR will get into a bidding war. He'll take the pick.

Wow, kinda surprised it's the 2nd round tender. Someone could definitely make a play for him..

Now I'm just speculating right now, completely theoretical, but..

could this mean we might be planning on pursuing Dunta Robinson?

[panthers55]

I wonder if we had any long term contract talks with him. I remember his agent last year saying that Marshall expected to be one of the highest paid corners in the league when he reached free agency. Maybe we would rather have a second then pay what they will be asking next year. They may feeel that no matter the tender, we can always match the deal unless there is a poison pill in it.

I highly doubt it but I would love to see marshall move back to nickle, he turns nickleback into a starting role. He's a beast in the slot.

Hard to tell. Remember his agent is Drew Rosenhouse (Probably bad spelling)

I wonder if we are just THAT impressed with Munnerlynn that we would be just fine with him startnig opposite Gamble.. I know I was impressed with him.

I don't think they will cheap out I think there just trying to put the money in the right places. Although I would have liked for him to get a higher tender, I'm more concerned with keeping Davis & Moore and giving them the higher tender so if someone does try to get them we can match or get something for them!

Our team as a whole has a pretty good relationship with Rosenhaus. P55 is most likely right, he probably wants a big big payday.

Ahhhh finally something newsworthy. I like Captain but I don't think he is good enough to be a number 2.... please Panthers don't be making a huge mistake....

He was decent. He didn't look #2 caliber though. For a rookie 7th rounder, he looked awesome though.

[Panthro]

I'd take a 2nd for Ricky Manning Marshall...

Let the cheapness begin:

The Panthers have extended a restricted free agent tender of just the second-round variety to CB Richard Marshall.
Either Carolina is just being cheap or it saw something bad from Marshall in 2009 that we didn't. As a starting corner one one of the league's top pass defenses, Marshall picked off four passes, recovered two fumbles, and has always been a big tackler. The 25-year-old is likely to draw interest.
