D Will says Panthers didn't reach out to him when his mother died

What is so hard to understand about this? No one attended the funeral and Jerry Richardson (the greatest owner in all of sports who always does the morally correct thing like firing his sons and blackmailing charlotte) did not personally reach out to him. He never said no one in the organization reached out, he said Jerry Richardson didn't. Ron Rivera and David Gettleman very well may have reached out to him. If people find it petty that he is upset that the owner of the Carolina Panthers can reach out to a 13 year old fan who is trying to find a team to root for, but cannot reach out to him when his mother dies then I am not sure what else can be said to you. The team is clearly in the wrong.

Richardson's business decisions (one of which was made under the influence of drugs related to open heart surgery) and how he treats a player that he, by all accounts, loved aren't really comparable

Maybe they have a tough time separating the family atmosphere from the business side.  DWIll was a panther for a third of his life--tough getting cut.

 

It takes time getting over a mother's death.  I give him a pass.  Look at his life the past year-money doesn't  buy everything. 

 

 

Exactly this. Christ, people think money is the solution to all problems. Hasn't DeAngelo lost like 3 or 4 close family members to breast cancer now? Between that and coming to the realization that he doesn't have much time left doing the thing he's done since he was a kid is going to do things to you emotionally. Cut the guy a break.

there's smf withholding his opinion like he said he would

 

by the way if what jeremy said is true then he's basically slandering the panthers organization but a lot of people on this site lap that poo up so it's brushed off

He's not a Panther any longer so I don't care. He seemed like a good dude, but this makes him look like a little spoiled brat. Even if true, it's berween D and the Panthers and he should keep it that way. Dude was paid mega millions that he didn't deserve, he should appreciate that and STFU.

he posted a 14 second clip on his twitter page that has the exact quote. He said that no one in the organization attended the funeral and that THE OWNER OF THE PANTHERS never reached out to him. he never said no one reached out to him.

Then Molly Grantham's tweet is misleading

      I think the first 3 picks will be defensive players this time. At least that's how the draft is falling this year. I would not be shocked at all if our 1st pick is the number one safety in the draft. It appears he will be right there for the taking.

      Man oh man. That 8-9 record without a playoff berth puts at 13 if I recall, ahead of both Atlanta and TB with their 8-9 records, due to our weaker SOS.   We might have been in range to deal for that guy. I hope he doesn’t last to 8. And I hope some AFC team picks him.

      Cool. I am not wanting to debate or argue it. It is mostly my preferences. But a couple of things:  I just don’t think he sees the middle of the field well. But besides that I would rather spend a 1st round pick at different offensive positions if we went offense, otherwise we have neglected defense something fierce the last few years. Last 1st rounder was Horn. That’s like 5 years ago now.   Investments… gee the last 4 drafts we have used a 2, a 2, a low 1st and a top ten pick on WR. Bryce has been here three years, three of those picks were specifically for him.  And assets, I don’t think you are counting the haul we gave for the QB position. That counts and it was huge.   Add that up and add the Burns cap space we freed up when we traded him. We bought two guards and used the savings on them. Not on the defense.  I mean, that is a lot of investment in the offense when you put all that in a sack and weigh it.    peace. Appreciate your post.
