Kind of thought this was a possibility. Not really surprised but did think some team was going to give him enough money to get him. Curious what DG wanted him to take vs. what other teams offered, if it's about the same or if he decided to take less to stay here. Said when we released him that just because of that didn't mean CJ wouldn't come back. Getting released and checking the market is better than being forced into taking a pay cut. This is a pretty big move since we did need a veteran DE with him gone. Hope he can get fully healthy and return to form as he was not that great this past season. Still need help at the position for sure.

I like it. Word is he is one of the team leaders that everyone in the locker room respects. He's not the same player he was a few years ago, and he never will be, but he did start to play better towards the end of the season and who are we kidding we need experience and depth on the DL. Didn't feel good about Addison or draft pick starting with Kony.

    • I don't know. CMC is like others and may have lip serviced that line of " I had no plan or wanted to leave Carolina" I think he even said he bought a house too and wanted this to be home.   Here's what I heard- In a way Panthers org gave him a test and he didn't "fight" back. They approached CMC and told him they wanted to put him on IR since the "season" was over or out of playoff reach. CMC didn't fight it one lick and agreed. They secretly wanted him to kept playing or want to, but there was no kickback. I honestly don't know if its real or not, 5th hand information type deal doing on. Yes he had bruises and pains, but was able to play...... but went along with Panthers staff. Odd to be playing games with star players, but whatever....   Plus the staff doctors found out about his tendinitis and there was nothing to fix it. Even with him missing time, it was the best move to trade him before he got inflamed constantly.    Lastly, its mostly time a combo of stuff, Fitterererere did not sign him to be the highest paid RB. That was classic Marty "give me a" herniay doing. GMs have different values on roster spots and rumor was Fitterererer was one that didn't want to pay RBs. For all his faults, he's right about that......
    • I think google is confusing signing bonus with guaranteed money. If you get a guarantee of say $10 million, it doesn’t matter if the signing bonus is $5 or $8 million, it’s the $10 million number that affects the cap, as the signing bonus is always just a portion of the guaranteed money anyways. And again, I’ll admit I’m not 100% sure about it, but I’m pretty sure it is the case.
