PANTHERS CONTRACT NEWS

[KB_fan]

Sadly, for me, busyness has ramped up this month.  Huddle time needs to decrease.  It would help if we could keep a thread pinned to the top of the forum where people routinely post tweets and links about Panthers' contract news, so rather than having to find multiple threads, there's a single thread for news.

Mods, if you agree, can you pin this?

I'll get it started with today's news, posting the tweets and links about Cotchery & Harper's contract voidings, and the new punter....

These threads tend to get more difficult to follow than just individual threads for important events. I don't usually dig through 20 pages to find something

Whatever you think best.... if there's not too much discussion, just a single post for each transaction, it seems like it would work well as a single place to go for news each day, and as a reference throughout the season.  But maybe that's just me...

The race between huddlers for who can post news fastest makes these sort of threads worthless.

I was going to say this, but you beat me to it

It seemed to work for awhile with Mr. Scot's NFL update threads.  I found that helpful as an easy way to catch up on some key NFL news tidbits I might have otherwise missed.

Obviously no one is stopping other huddlers from making threads (many of them!!!) about various news items.  But once a news item is posted here, once would be enough.

They would be good if only one person posted each update in them. People discussing the happenings in them clog it up and you have to dig through discussion to find the news. I think one pinned at the top that maybe only you update with news would be useful but having individual threads is fine by me too, and that'll happen anyways.

that's exactly what I was thinking of, except I don't think I can be the one to always do the updating each day.  I'll be traveling for a week later this month and not online every day, or at least not on the Huddle every day...

You should do a FA page like there was after the 2013 season and possibly before that (before I found the Huddle) but has been defunct since.
