This was buried in Bill Voth's minicamp day 1 "Rapid Reactions" write up.  Apologies if this news had already been posted.  If so, I'd missed it.

GM Recovering

Dave Gettleman rarely misses an entire practice, but the Panthers' general manager had a good excuse to sit this one out. Gettleman had knee replacement surgery earlier this week. It went well, but now he has some recovery time before he can get back out to his on-field office.

 

 

Wishing Dave a speedy & full recovery.

Word is that his original knee was refusing to wear shorts while demanding to not have to move on Tuesdays, so Gettleman cut it and went with the rookie. Gotta make the tough decisions.

Pssh, the only time his knees ever see shorts is when he's putting em on and taking em off. 

Was probably a cap casualty.

I hope he drops some weight in all honesty, that is likely what is wearing out his joints

I agree. I didn't want to sound like a Debbie Downer, but he needs to drop some weight. I want him around 10-15 more years

It absolutely is. A lot of doctors won't even do a knee replacement until you loose weight. A lot of knee replacements turn into gastric bypasses, and then magically the knee no longer needs replaced.

WHY DID HE WAIT THIS LONG INTO THE OFFSEASON?! CAMP STARTS IN TWO MONTHS!

Well.... it could have been a VERY VERY interesting draft had Gettleman been pumped full of antibiotics and pain killers...

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By csx · Posted

      I just dont get the worry over losing a practice squad player that just went undrafted. Everyone just made their selections. The chances of a team wanting to sign him to an active roster after not selecting him is very low.  If that interested they would have taken him late to evaluate in person. As far as I can tell two qbs were signed off another teams practice squad last season and they were both going in to their 5th season.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By frankw · Posted

      I enjoyed reading this thread and the usual banter that follows. The only silver lining I can identify right now is we do actually have a couple of young QB's behind him and we do have a nice roster on both sides of the ball built around the most important position. So if the team overall shows some promise but we still falter largely due to a lack of consistent passing output (again) hopefully the decision makers can be free to make the best decision for the team going forward after the conclusion of this upcoming season.

      I don't really follow the team anymore due to a variety of reasons and consequently have largely stopped posting but I agree that this is a lovely website and community. This forum probably kept me around for years longer than I would've stuck otherwise because of how difficult it was to stop checking multiple times a day. Especially appreciate how lax the moderation tends to be compared to a lot of places, the crew here does a great job. Out of curiousity I decided to try making a new account (solely for testing purposes) to see what exactly is wrong with the sign up process. The issue seems to be that it never sends you an account verification email, thus making it impossible to complete registration. This is likely something to do with the email server upstream, hope it gets fixed. Also, lol
