Sorry, I don't want to hear it. If he is healthy and on the field he needs to produce. At the beginning towards the middle of the season he did not produce even a bit. When we needed him to with Hardy being out.

He clearly wasn't healthy at the start and he had 1 sack each in weeks 4, 5, and 6 and pretty consistent thereafter, so you just harpooned your whole argument. And the guy will be 29 this season and 30 when his contract runs out... far from a dinosaur.

Peppers was 30 when we let him go, and he only had about 2 good seasons left in him.  Do you really want to keep CJ and his money hungry self after 30?  Dude will warrant a similar paycheck.  As one of my good friends said "he needs to have a big year this year before I consider bringing him back."  Like I said, 8 sacks in a season where we needed more than just average is not a good look for the money he was and still is getting paid.

There isn't a snowball's chance in hell Gentleman would pay him anywhere near this money once the current contract is up, so no need to worry about it.

And calling CJ money-hungry is ludicrous and baseless - the guy signed a lucrative contract in the prime of his career and has done his absolute best the entire time, performing very well overall. Maybe he's a little overpaid, but he didn't write the contract. If CJ is 'money-hungry' then so is Deangelo, Stew, Kalil, Beason, Jake, and every other player who got paid by Hurney.

Maybe he's a little overpaid, but he didn't wrote the contract. If CJ is 'money-hungry' then so is Deangelo, Stew, Kalil, Beason, Jake, and every other player who got paid by Hurney.

I'll give you the 2nd paragraph.  Hurney was just a moron in hindsight.

charles johnson makes way too much but the alternative was watching him go to the falcons at a point where they essentially a good pass rusher away from a lombardi so i can live with it

 

*EDIT* for lack of reading comprehension.

 

Yes having him go to the Falcons would have been a devastating blow for our team in the short and long term especially given how the Hardy situation developed. I was ok with overpaying him as well. He was always going to be a very good player and a tone setter. Teams need guys like that. I just hope we can get his contract to be a little more cap-friendly so that we can get some more talent in the upcoming seasons.

      Some of the best F.A signings in Panthers history?

      By rodeo · Posted

      Our best ever FA signing was Wesley Walls, followed by Sam Mills, and Ken Lucas. I can't really even think of any other super impactful ones. I thought Keyshawn Johnson would be at the time, and he was alright, but nothing special. I think Lloyd could end up being in that upper tier with the first three I named but time will tell. He could be a long time leader on this defense. He's young and smart and is in the mold of the great Panthers LBs. I can't wait for the inevitable sit-down with Thomas Davis.

      Tony Pauline: 5 NFL Teams Whose Free Agency Moves Changed Their 2026 Draft Plans

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      On the whole, I thought the Panthers did the best job of any team during the first week of free agency and left with a much stronger roster. The team had two major needs on defense that people thought would be addressed early in the draft: pass rusher and off-ball linebacker. They promptly filled both by signing Jaelan Phillips to a massive four-year, $120 million contract and linebacker Devin Lloyd to a three-year, $45 million contract. Not only did the Panthers fill needs by signing the two players, but the vacancies left by Phillips in Philadelphia and Lloyd in Jacksonville are massive holes that those teams must address.  Carolina was not done, as they added offensive tackle Rasheed Walker, the four-year veteran who was previously with the Green Bay Packers, to a one-year deal. Considering the serious knee injury suffered by starting left tackle Ikem Ekwonu during the playoff loss to the Los Angeles Rams, an injury that could threaten his 2026 season, it was money well spent on another free agent. Heading towards the draft, the Panthers now have the luxury of looking at other positions. If tight end Kenyon Sadiq happens to fall to the 19 selection of the first round, he has to be a consideration, and they could also target a top cornerback. https://www.essentiallysports.com/nfl-active-news-five-nfl-teams-whose-free-agency-moves-changed-their-twenty-twenty-six-draft-plans/
