Charles Godfrey Takes Large PAYCUT

[PantherPhann89]

This is great for us, now we need Hardy to agree to a long term contract that we can afford...

[top dawg]

Thank you!

 

Simple, but very appropriate response.  I'm thinking that Panthers fans should tell him the same thing via Twitter.

Godfrey had no chips to play.  He is coming off an Achilles injury that normally takes 2 years to recover from if you do.  Most of his idiotic salary was unguaranteed, and he had little chance of getting picked up by another team above the vet min. if cut. 

 

We got a good, experienced player for about $800K-1.5m.  If he steps up and starts, unlikely in 2014 due to the nature of the injury, we are lucky.  If not, we are not hurt.  Another move closer to being out of the pit Hurney's moronic moves put us in.

This is amazing news.  Would have been nice if it was a little earlier and we could have added a solid FA, but I think we're going to need every drop we can for Cam coming up.

GETTLE.

MOTHER.

F*CKING. 

MAGIC. 

[Mr. Scot]

Just referring to the timing. We could have used that extra cap space when FA started.

 

Injured players have to be medically cleared.

 

Even so, we made free agent offers and didn't really miss out on all that much.

Why didnt this happen earlier? Oh Hakeem Nicks.

If Godfrey can still play at a decent lever this is an even greater move and brings depth back at the Safety position.

[Galvatron]

He is too aggressive at the corner position and the result has been a high amount of interference calls.

 

This stood out to me. It reminds me of all the stories about the Seahawks corners and how they had the most interference calls, but got away with a lot because the refs were hesitant to call it all game long.

Voth confirms it's a pay cut (link)

And that my friends is Gettleman being a boss. The dude knows how to use leverage, something new to the black and blue.

I gotta admit, listening to Captain (and DeAngelo) the way they talk now, it's hard not to get at least a little bit of an impression that the team under Hurney was turning into a bunch of spoiled, whiny, entitled babies.

 

A culture like that would make it extremely difficult for a coach to get tough with a player when he needed to.

We can use this money to sign our rookies.

[The NFL Shield At Midfield]

Not debating anything you're making. Just a statement about the tardiness of our new found wealth. With more money free agency could've been seen on a different lens by the front office.

So aimless bitching just to bitch then

Excellent piece of business by Gettleman. Dave played it very intelligently. Wait until he got a good look at him at OTA's, make sure he's healthy, THEN present Charles with the take it or leave it deal.
