Time to cut DeAngelo Williams.

At least Fox sports says so;

In his brief time as general manager of the Carolina Panthers, Dave Gettleman has left no doubt that running an NFL team should be based on business, not emotion.

He even said as much.

"If you're emotional about your decision, you're going to really do something stupid," Gettleman said.

That attitude has helped Gettleman get the Panthers out of salary cap puirgatory from the previous regime by making players restructure their contracts. Or cut them altogether.

For example: Gettleman played hardball with linebacker Jon Beason, who wound up taking a huge pay cut before ultimately getting traded to the Giants.

Gettleman cut the franchise's all-time leading receiver last year in Steve Smith, and now he needs to do the same to DeAngelo Williams, the club's all-time leading rusher.

I love Williams, but it's ridiculous to pay him that much money at this point.

draft Gurley

It's been real D-Will but our time together has run it's course.

Yes, let's finally start correcting how this team is built only to turn around and immediately use a first round pick on a huge RB coming off a ACL injury

    • Still working on consuming all of these so I don't have summaries available, but I figured there might be another Huddler or three trying to kill time before tonight's final preseason game.   Panthers Blueprint: Training Camp The in-house produced Blueprint series has given behind-the-scenes look on the field and off. Start the day with Robert Hunt's family, be in the morning meetings, mic'd up players during practice (Jaycee, Rozeboom, Icky, and Bryce), roster evaluations by the staff, and plenty of camp highlights capping off with FanFest.   Processing Blue (Mike Kaye & Alex Zietlow Mike and Alex are back talking about a variety of topics including but not limited to: joint practice + preseason game vs. Houston, Trey Hendrickson trade rumors involving Carolina, training camp awards, draft pick draft, and various thoughts about the team.   Jordan & Jake 706: Opening Day Another in-house Panthers' production, the most recent episode of Jordan and Jake talk about how to properly balance intensity in practice, react to the starters being shutdown for the preseason finale, share their thoughts on the newest Panther QB, and more.   Raw Room - Ep 278 - Gas Pedal (ft. Mike Davis) Assistant special teams' coach Darren Bates' Raw Room podcast has former Panthers' RB Mike Davis on his weekly podcast. I'm about halfway through this one and it's been a lot of fun. The Raw Room guys (DB, his friend Alex Sweets, former Eagles/Chargers OT King Dunlap, and former Atlanta DB Jalen Collins) are hilarious and Mike fits right in. They talk about his football experience coming up, decommitting from Florida and how he decided on South Carolina, and more. Warning: If you're the type of person that is easily distracted by accents, despite XL being on the team, you might have issues with understanding the Memphis dialect. If you don't care about how somebody talks, just what they're talking about, tune in!  
    • Allen was borderline unplayable in College.  He's an absolute unicorn in terms of his career panning out the way it has. 
    • It's a step up in competition as well. The gap in athletic skill is narrowed from what was faced at the college level.
