Jerry Richardson has a bum shoulder

Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson will miss the NFL’s annual meetings in Florida this week to have shoulder surgery in Charlotte, team officials said Saturday.

It’s believed to be the second time Richardson will have missed the meetings since bringing a NFL team to the Carolinas in 1995. He was unable to attend the 2009 meetings in California less than two months after Richardson had a heart transplant.

 

Panthers President Danny Morrison will represent the team in Richardson’s absence in Boca Raton, according to spokesman Steven Drummond. The Carolina contingent is expected to arrive Sunday in Florida for the meetings, which will run through Wednesday.

Richardson, who will turn 80 in July, was in New York last week for a retirement party for a league official.

Gotta have that shoulder strong for when he lifts the Lombardi next feb. smart move by him to get the surgery done in the offseason. Gives him enough time to rehab it. Luckily he can do a little light lifting two weeks prior to the super bowl when he lifts the Halas trophy again.

I've got a bum shoulder too, problem is I'm not a billionaire nor able to afford obamacare to do anything about it.  

BTW's I've only got one working arm and it's the one with a shredded rotator cuff.

even if I had surgery who's volunteering to wipe my ass for 6-8 weeks?

So we should list him as Out for the NFL meetings. He'll probably be Doubtful for the draft, so we should put him on the PUP list. That way he doesn't take up a roster spot for summer OTAs. Then activate him off the PUP list if he's Probable for Fan Fest. We'll need him there to set the tone for the season.

He wore #51 at Wofford College, and Sam Mills wore #51 for the Panthers. This year will be the 51st Super Bowl.. Hope it's serendipity

If the shoulder procedure could have been scheduled at any time, it’s not much of a surprise Richardson scheduled it for this week. He emerged from the January get-together on the short end of the Los Angeles vote, with his preferred alternative of the Chargers and Raiders in Carson soundly defeated by the membership, even though the committee Richardson essentially ran voted 5-1 to choose Carson over the Rams and Inglewood.

      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.
