ThinkAboutIt

Every team in the league has guys like DeAngelo floating around on the roster. Want him back, too? What about Byron Bell? There's a lot of sorry linemen on teams, too. Tell me why you sign Bersin now instead of after you've nearly spent your last available dime? What, you concerned someone else was going to pick him up?

Just sell the team already, Jerry.

Dear Dave,

Hopefully he ends up in the NFC South.

This won't be it. The case was tossed. They can try, but in the end, they have nothing to hold against him, and won't.

Please do (go back to Cleveland).

Bingo. People thinking the whole world should stop when theirs does, then getting upset when it doesn't.

Why does someone ALWAYS type this nonsense?

I've said this a hundred times or more, so I agree with the point being made.

Luke is also up for an extension this offseason. Person could've discussed how that might factor into the Panthers' offseason moves. Cutting DeAngelo won't be close to enough.

The problem has been Johnson, Stewart, Godfrey and DeAngelo's contracts, not whatever Cam gets. If those four guys' had gotten more acceptable deals, no one with a clue would be calling $20M a year for Cam/QB "cap hell."

That's smart. Those #1 pick contracts used to be full of guaranteed money, a contract that Cam was (rightly) denied under the new (better) system. He was still a #1 pick, didn't suck, and set records despite an inept front office and head coach most of his tenure, so more guaranteed money is "justified" in his case. If he was drafted 100th, he'd still want it, but I'd say different even if he'd earned it.

Proving yet again that "fans" are idiots. Even a Jordan/Bulls hater should be able to acknowledge a fact. FACT > your emotions

You should've wanted it done last year then instead of [some of the morons around here who are continuously] wanting to keep pushing it back each year so Cam can keep "proving himself" based on an ever-changing marker. Cam's reps are smart to let Luck and Wilson reset the market because the Panthers should've gotten his extension done a year ago.

Get over yourselves. Keep sucking with choir boys. This is the one area where I trust a former player who looks like Rivera to be able to make an impact on a guy with an ill-behaved past. Hardy was accused by a gold-digging addict. To keep bringing that up is ignorant. He was never a guy constantly failing drug tests or being suspended. That honor goes more to Frank Alexander who I don't hear you trying to run out of town.

Ignorance

Keep trying. The QB should be the only player on your roster that's a $20M cost. Charles Johnson's contract is the problem, no matter how much you pay Cam.

La Canfora has never been in the Cam or Panthers "hater" group.

Honorable Mention: Legedu Naanee

The legal system should say, "Dear NFL, your authority does not supersede ours, so kiss my behind." How dare these bastards attempt to subject Hardy to an internal tribunal just because the legal system dismissed his case?

Why "now"? #1 problem with the world: People who have to see something to believe it...aka, "most people." Never had any doubt that he was getting off somehow after a real court date.

Cam Newton won't be happy about that.

Is the reason no one can get in contact with Hardy's accuser because she OD'ed after the settlement? Pure speculation, but not implausible.

Stupid comment. The last two seasons Hardy played, his "name" might not have been "elite," but his "production" was.
