The main thing to keep in mind is josh didn't want to play anywhere but Carolina. However, he also wanted to be paid. 

His agent preached hardball, telling him "this is how the game is played." He was presented tons of similar instances (drew brees being the prime example) of how these holdouts always end well for the player. 

At no point was josh trying to get out of Carolina. Gettleman just wasn't interested in play Josh's agent's game. 

Additionally the panthers do not think as highly of josh as josh thinks of himself, and that because of the schedule they don't really feel he's integral, which I don't understand. 

At this point, josh would have to take even less than he was offered originally to come to Carolina, or a short two year deal. 

Josh is now torn between his last paycheck or staying at a place that has basically treated him like a son since he was drafted.

thomas Davis, Charles Johnson and Roman Harper (wtf) are telling him to take less money on a one year deal to take another run at the super bowl.

gettleman basically just sent a message to every single agent and player in the league, and every employee is updating their resume lol

holy crap man

Makes sense.  I'm not sure though that Gettleman really sent a message to everyone with this one.  I think it just confirms what I've suspected for awhile now.  Gettleman isn't going to spend big bucks in the secondary.  We're gonna spend our money on D on the front seven and look for bargain players who got our system in the secondary.

I don't think Dave Gettleman is making such a crazy move that everyone is updating their resume and putting everyone on notice. This has been done before, and will be done again (rescinding the tag). You almost have to look at this like asking a player to take a paycut. If they say no, your only option as an organization is to cut that player. They reportedly offered Josh several contracts and were at a place where they new they would not get a deal done. Josh saw it as accepting a paycut, so they cut ties.

This stuff happens every off season, just a little different with the tag and different because he is such a high profile player. I think agents and players understand the dynamics and it is only surprising to media and fans because we do not see the business side like players and front offices.

^^Bingo.  Hasn't everyone figured this out about Gman yet?

Who tf was his previous agent anyways, literally no one had ever heard of the guy.

Someone said he's only negotiated 6 contracts and they were all NBA players. Where 1 player makes a team.

Sure it does! It says we won't play hardball.

      Brown on BY9 while talking to Chris Long

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, I hear what y'all are saying, but Derrick could have been positive without being negative.  He essentially accused people of not seeing Bryce's improvement because of their desire to not be wrong. He could've kept it about Bryce and the team. For example, he could've said: "Bryce has made strides, and we believe in him. This coming season, his continued improvement will turn a lot of people into believers."  That would've been supportive of his teammate and sent a message to the doubters. That being said, his tact almost summoned and left the door ajar for more skepticism. That's my take anyway. Bryce has improved from the bottom to perhaps skirting the line between the bottom third and mid-third at best...after three seasons. We've all seen it. Yay! In my mind, Bryce has still got a long way to go and a short time to get there, but my expectations are top five--at least top 10--always! Yes, I am a fan, so there's that, but I don't believe it's unreasonable to expect excellence. Hopefully the Panthers FO has the same mindset (and that doesn't even necessarily have anything to do with what we gave up to acquire him). That is the lens I'm looking through. Derrick Brown has his homer glasses on. He just needs to be more diplomatic and thoughtful with his words in my opinion, but I get it that he's a good teammate.

      Canes vs Canadians Gm 2 Rd 3 7pm

      By organicrusty1201 · Posted

      I have no doubt the Canes will come out like gangbusters, huge bounce back from game one - my only concern is Freddie, if he lets in a couple of softies and Dobes stays hot we could be in trouble.
