Just to remind everyone....Gettleman doesn't play. Produce up to your contract's standards, or you're gone. 

If Stew didn't have that monster year, his name would be on there to.  Like he said, it's not about how much you make... it's about your production.  Does it add up?  No?  Get to steppin.

#Panthers offered Charles Johnson a pay cut before releasing him, I'm told. Not out of the question he ends up back there in free agency.

Sometimes a player has to hit the open market to realize an offer was in line with market prices.

or

We lowballed him and he can make a lot more elsewhere.

Either way it is the business side of football.  He played a lot of good football for us over the years.  I wish him the best.

Moves like this is why the team has a nice open window to win it all. We aren't overpaying for sentiment, Gettie doesn't care, he's going Hebrew national on you if you think you're going to get paid and rest on your laurels

Man...now I want a hot dog...

Some of the media guys are already saying it...but yeah, this cap savings will be going to KK. As it should. Give me 5 more years of KK over any FA signing. 

That'd be a hell of a signing bonus if it took up all $11M - being that bonuses can be amortized over 5 years - so 1/5 of his bonus would be the only money that will hit the cap before the extension actually begins next season. 

Not saying this means a shopping spree, but I think at least some of that will be used short-term.

Gettleman is literally the antithesis to Hurney. Keeps it completely unemotional and business only, and won't overpay for aging stars. I wish CJ the best, but I'm glad we have our ballsy GM that plays the hard line.

 

Next man up - Ealy go!

      The Cavalry is Coming

      By CRA · Posted

      I'll be honest.  I'm not sure I want to see any those guys returning right now given what others are presently doing.... minus Coker.  Hubbard returning likely messes the run game up (I mean, it's going to come down regardless but he still), Tremble and Evans actually are doing well, Corbett seems to make us worse up front, and the D has made some strides.  I'd like to just keep that whole lot on the shelf this week.

      Ikem Ekwonu is slated to GET PAID

      By Basbear · Posted

      I don't think people know that Icky is still only 25 years old. Panthers signed UDFAs older this year and drafted DJ Johnson. Heres a fact, a deep fact.... Its easier(much) to find a good-great QB than good-great LT. Another fact there's only 12-15 true LTs and the others are larping as LT.  SO....(I'm not a fan btw)......you nearly must resign him at all cost even with him being around the 12th best at times. Its the hardest spot to fill and he's still awful young with 4 years as a pro. Carolina already got 4 years of "cheap" service as well, that's invested time and effort.  The fan-side of me hopes he signs some top 5 at best top 3 big money deal. Just the cap keeps growing and LTs, young LT with experience are rrrrrrare and unique. Tag him if needed and tag him again, then trade him. I think he enjoys being/living in NC.  I hope he's stays on a team friendly deal, but those are soooo rare these days.  Only two options- pay him whatever, even if it's top $$$$$(uggggghhhh..) or tag him for 2027 and keep trying to pay. Worst outcome is trading him for couple 1s, 3s, and 5th maybe a player too.

      DJ Moore trade talk

      By CRA · Posted

      I always loved DJ Moore.  I don't see him wanting to comeback here.  He seems to be tired of inconsistent QB play and you finally see that bubbling over in Chicago.  or maybe he just doesn't like the people.  He actually seemed fine with Fields.....and lobbied for them not to draft Caleb.  So maybe it's just a Caleb issue (and I think Caleb might have tons of baggage/issues that rub folks wrong)
