Alan Ball was offered more money by Chicago

It isn't hard to figure out what Gettlemen is doing, but there are people who think we should hand the checkbook to every player who visits.  That is like being a poor kid and asking Santa for the latest video console.  Prolly not happening, but if it does, Maw and Paw had to sell your bicycle to pay for it.

I don't have an issue, but I will say, he will regret the decision when he's out of the nfl in 2 years and he could have dramatically improved his stock playing behind one of the best front 7's in the nfl.

 

What is he, 30?  If so, he might be in the "make all you can right now because I will be out of the NFL in 2 years regardless" mode.

However, it would be rough going to a division where the only WRs you can cover are on your team.

GMan and JR are so cheap

Edit: Panthers fans' overreactions to FA this year have made me an angry person. The schedule release and draft can't get here soon enough.

 

I think you need to go to a bar and grab a beer.  That's what calms me down.  Well sex and working out too.

Doesn't look like it was a ton more.

#Panthers Alan Ball offer: $1 mil signing $950K base $50K workout Up to $500K incentives #Bears: $1 mil signing $1.95 mil base $50K workout

He had a chance to make almost as much with us, but he took the guaranteed money with Chicago.

Oh well. Better talent will be available in the draft.

2 mill salary and bonus with $500k that he could or could not actually see, or 3 mill that does not include incentives he has to reach.

 

 

That is at least $500k more, but likely $1,000,000 more. I would leave my current job in a heartbeat for that much more money, and I like my job.

    • The only thing I said was he was part of the staff that made part of the decisions, and that I am judging the decisions made by that group as a whole. As assistant GM, you can pretty much guarantee his input held more sway than an intern or the guy that takes coffee requests. Fitterer didn't operate in a vacuum. Neither does Morgan now. While Fitterer did have the ultimate decision, to say that Dan had no input in ranking boards, evaluating FAs, trade offers or anything else would be asinine. We all know he did. Otherwise what the hell was his job as assistant GM? He wouldn't have been kept for 3 years if he was arguing every decision Scott ever made.    And the actual quote was "Morgan has done a bang up job in the draft and FA. Compared to what the last guy did, he is kicking ass and taking names." So is XL kicking ass and Brooks taking names from last years draft or did I get it backwards? We took Wallace over Payton Wilson because he was an injury risk after trading up for a RB with a torn ACL? Which one of the kicking ass and taking names was that?  Maybe we should review the thousands of gameday posts calling for XL to get off the field because he's a bust and can't catch a cold. We could review the posts about Brooks but... And Wilson. He's at 118 tackles this season vs 36 for Wallace.  I gave credit to Dan for a good draft this year. But I'm also not ignoring last year's draft either since he did that one after the last guy too.  That's not a strawman. 
    • And then, in week 18, we can take Mayfield out of the game and whoop Bridgewater's @$$ for good measure! Let the former QB revenge train roll on!!
    • If we keep our guards in tact ($$$) and go with Mays at C, some OT depth would be nice. I think we should be happy about CB with Thornton's development (pre injury) and Smith Wade. I think Ransom is developing nicely, but I would like to see a FS type for situations. We suck at ILB and Edge (as a whole). We should be OK at RB.  I hope we sign Dowdle to a short contract. QB?  There are signs of hope and development.  (I don't like our backup QB) TE?  Good draft for TE, but I think we are developing with Evans, Sanders, and Tremble. WR?  A #2 with Coker and Horn in the slot.  XL?  What is that? We should be good in 2026. Morgan does more than draft.  Free agency has been strong too.  (Just emptying my brain on your comment--sorry)
