Is this Moose's final season?

I doubt it, honestly. They resigned Kasay and Delhomme and they're both old Panther mainstays. Moose isn't slowing down yet...he's still a reliable number 2 and an important component of our running game. Unless he decides to retire, I think he'll sign on for another 2 years or so.

he's still in great shape and is probably the best blocking WR in the game unless hines ward is still in the leauge.

He still can school DB's just fine. And with his long stride he still has some wheels(KC anybody?).

I can see him resigning here for a vet minimum or slightly higher, this stud's not ready to be put out to pasture.

Vet minimum? You pay a man what he's worth, and Moose is worth more than the vet minimum.

I'm reminded of Mike Sellers, another old guy and Pro Bowl FB for the Redskins. The skins tried to pay him the vet minumum, which is what he has been paid throughout his career (during which Sellars has been consistently been recognized as on of the premier run-blockers in the league). That was the last straw for Sellars, and he rightly held out for more (unheard of for a FB to hold out). To paraphrase a quote of his, Sellers said something like, "I'm not playing like I'm worth the vet minimum."

And at this point in his career, Moose isn't playing like he's only worth the vet minimum.

I hope he will be around a few more years, but these things are hard to predict. we could have injuries play a role in this, we could have a different coaching staff come in( i dont want that). It is also possible moose could loose a step too much and we wont want him(see marvin harrison). I feel like he has 2 more years for some reason but that is a hunch, i just can see him doing good and they sign him to a 2 year deal and then he is around for one and the gone.

      Hoping you guys keep it up

      It’s wild to me that so many of you guys are threatened by the idea of an opposing team fan who is polite in 2025. He’s been posting here on and off for years, usually when our teams play each other which hasn’t been for a while. I’d maybe understand this treatment if it was a falcons or saints fan, but packers fans in general are one of the nicer fan bases as long as you aren’t another NFC north team (especially the bears).

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Some players excel on the big stage, while others freeze and succumb to the pressure. I’m not convinced Cam took a dive. I think he didn’t handle the stage very well. The pressure got to him and he folded. He wouldn’t be the first quarterback or player to struggle in a Super Bowl. Two HOF examples - John Elway and Jim Kelly. The 2002 MVP, Rich Gannon, threw 5 interceptions against the Bucs. Poor performances happen.  Unless of course you believe all these players threw the games they played in, but if that occurred, surely someone by now would have admitted taking a dive? 🤷‍♂️

      Cam on ‘The Bank’

      It was always a matter of time with Cam’s playing style and a shorter shelf life than passers that protect themselves. I suppose Cam could have still been playing in 2028 ten years after the hit took place, but he would need to have evolved as a quarterback and become more of a passer than the dual threat maestro he was. It’s sad because it makes us think of what could have been, but I do feel it was always a matter of time until all the hits took their toll.
