Whatever became of the talk about him possibly to us?

[RoaringRiot]

We identified the source and stopped talking about it.

I think we talked about it a lot.  Then nothing happened.  Now we are talking about it again.  I for one am perplexed.

We drafted Benjamin.

Don't have money for a guy like Andre

[panthers55]

He will be 33 in July, Not sure it would be wise to invest in a long term contract on a player that old. He is still productive but for most players age equates with more frequent injuries.

Would definitely seem opposite to what the organization is currently doing.  I know we grabbed vets (i.e. Cotchery) but he is a piece of the puzzle whereas Johnson would likely be viewed as a star and be paid as such.  I dont think this would work based on our current trajectory.  I truly believe we want to create the future stars of the league rather than depend on those that have already achieved that status.

Even if you can get past the fact that he is about to be 33, he's also overpaid, and a distraction for his teammates.

 

Do not want.

It's funny people talk as though 33 is old. It's really not

No team will take on that 10 million dollar cap hit.

The Panthers under no circumstances have the cap room.

It's 15.6 million this year. Next year it's 16 million. Yet he's unhappy.

[PantherWake]

Too expensive even if we did have the money.

Just don't think that D.G wants a player with a little age and one that could be a "distraction" as far as grooming K.B. ( the future #1 reciever).He already signed vets to mentor the young guys.A.J. Would just bitch and cause waves if he wasn't getting the ball to his liking. Not productive for the WR corps or the locker room...won't happen. You should all know how D.G operates by now....he doesn't like to sign high priced guys that cause any problems or have shown a history of riffs with contracts,etc. Besides if he is unhappy with the scratch he is getting now,he will never be happy here,,,even if we had the money or a GM willing o do it.

I'm 33 and my body feels pretty old from playing sports constantly my whole life...I can only imagine how a 33 year old NFL'er feels.
