We win the SB, does C.J call it a night?

Some food for thought. Every players ultimate goal is to get the 'ring'. According to Jeremy, CJ has,been playing through pain all year (ever since that leg whip, there has been a decline). He is coming towards the age (in football years), where the body doesn't heal fast and skills start to fade. He is a rich man and seems to be a family man also. Having reached the ultimate goal, might he hang it up?

I believe Allen would probably retire if he gets his ring and hang out in the woods, do what he loves. D G would have to fill the void through the draft/FA. Opinions?

What would be left to achieve? Part of a 15-1 regular season and a SB ring is something that might night happen again for years (if ever). I have read that he is planning to open restaurants in Georgia, so he has a plan. Why not go out on a high note?

Because he still has a ton of money coming his way regardless, and there are teams desperate enough for a pass rush that someone will throw a contract his way.

I could easily see him on the Falcons next season.

He isnt leaving Carolina. Money may talk but players usually dont leave here til they are cut and have to leave. The last player that I recall leaving for a better contract was Julius Peppers. The brotherhood we have is too good. We are loyal to our players and players usually will restructure and want to have fun with this team then leave to go to cleveland and deal with the stress. He will restructure and play 2 more years and free up money for Norman and Short. Tolbert will sign another 1 year deal. This team is having too much fun right now. So much fun steve smith is posting pictures with him being a panther cause he misses it so much.

Maybe your'e talking last superstar, but Mitchell, Munnerlyn, and Ginn all left for more money (though Ginn came back). Not exactly a valid comparison though since Hurney overpaid players and they got better deals in Carolina than they would have received somewhere else. Give it another year or two, when the younger guys like Klein and Boston are making decisions to see what happens.

Better question would be what does TD do?

Thomas has given everything to this team, so much so that he's playing in the Super Bowl with a broken arm.

 

Based on all his charity work he's definitely got plans for retirement.

Walking off into the sunset if we win the Super Bowl means that he can have a post football life without anymore devastating injuries to deal with in old age.

TD will be here for another 2 years. He missed 3 years due to his ACL tears. You'll be surprised how not playing football has preserved him. He's 32 now.... he can still play... as long as he doesnt get injured.

Are we talking the night after the Super Bowl or Super Bowl night? There's a huge difference.

Worry about that bridge when we cross it

Yeah, was kinda thinking the same thing. Why think about the off-season, what are we, everybody but Denver?

I wouldnt say that it's a foregone conclusion that CJ is gone... 

But he's definitely not retiring. There's still money out there for him to make. And as long as any of those other 31 teams sees a value in him... He's not going anywhere.

It's a given that especially if we win, Allen and Tillman will retire.  Maybe Dwan Edwards, Roman Harper, and the biggest surprise retirement might even be Ryan Kalil.  This is a special year, and there's no question 2016 will be a much different Panthers team.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Icege · Posted

      WR: Nico, Woods, Tank (R) TE: Schultz OL: Tunsil/Howard/Deiter/Mason/Fant vs. WR: Chark, Thielen, Mingo (R) TE: Hurst OL: Icky/Zavala (R)/Bozeman/Jensen (R)/Moton   Panthers' had the better OL before losing BC week 1 and AC week 4 which is kind of ironic considering how in the following year DB went down in W1 and Shaq in W4 resulting in the defense going all to Hell. CJ has done amazing in Houston, but he also wasn't asked to carry Zavala, Jensen, Mingo, Hurst, and Chark as a rookie.

      Past 5 seasons, IMO CJ Stroud and Joe Burrow are the 2 best young QBs that have emerged in the league in that window.  They also didn’t need vets to be their primary pass catchers.  They helped fellow youngsters be great at WR.   almost all the other young QBs have been paired up with vets in their top options….and haven’t been as promising.  so it isn’t Madden.  But the league hasn’t played out as you suggest it does.   Good QBs make others around them better.

      In 2023 their roster wasn’t stacked. They nailed the poo out of the 2023 draft and since they knew Davis Mills wasn’t the guy, they tanked properly to get pick 2. They also took Cleveland’s ridiculous offer for Watson unlike us with Burns. Houston received enough draft capital to jump up to 3 while picking up the right guys in Anderson and Stroud. The Texans were not stacked or better than us in 2023. They had 11 total wins from 2020 to 2022. They didn’t have a terrible front office so they made sure they got their QB of the future while tanking well and getting more draft picks. They are a textbook study of what we should have done in 2022/2023 offseason even though people in here still think tanking is a bad word and our culture would be bad if we were the Texans. We literally had the chance to be the Texans right now and fuged it up.
