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.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Lions were never going Freeling over Miller for the same reason we wouldn't have taken Miller had Freeling not been on the board. Miller is a career RT Lions have a hole at RT, we have a hole at LT. If we took Miller, it would have been for him to backup Moton until he retires and/or we release him, so the best case scenario is it would have been a wasted 1st round pick for at least 1, if not 2 years.  At least Freeling has a shot at playing this year without injury ahead of him, he absolutely can win the LT job if he earns it, but Miller would have never supplanted Moton this year unless he got hurt.

      The Carolina Huddle

      What up y’all. I like threads like this where we can stroll down memory lane. I remember the insane amount of site traffic pre-crash when we signed Keyshawn Johnson, 06 I believe. Raging about the Cowboys Christmas Eve loss in 05 (Peppers touched that FG attempt as sure as Cotchery caught it). When I found the huddle I basically had a first born baby, now I’ve got one in college and one in high school. Life comes at you fast, but the Panthers and the Huddle has been a steady constant in my life for many years.  Those who have been here, y’all are cool with me any time any where.    Cheers, genitals!

      Where panthers draft ranked against Big Boards in 2023

      By MartyClemons · Posted

      This is a weird post since it wasn’t like we got A’s across the board. We needed a QB and got a consensus top 2 player at that position. (I was pretty vocal that Stroud should’ve been the guy but…)  I think this draft we generally got better value. I’m not particularly optimistic on BY but another year in this offense playing with TMac he really needs to be a consistently average QB at a minimum
