South Carolina product, some character issues, and more talented than any two DTs available combined. Suspended for the first four weeks for substance abuse issues (a water pill, which can be a masking substance for steroid use but also used in weight loss). Potential head case--punched Brady Quinn in the locker room last year.

Anyway, he might be an average starter but the point is that he's actually starting material. He would probably get more push than Kemo did, and Lewis/Hayden, Smith/Harris wouldn't be a BAD rotation. It would certainly be better than Lewis/Brayton, Hayden/Harris and may be as good as or better than Lewis/Hayden, Kemo/Leonard.

His suspension is up in week five, so he could suit up against the Redskins. Obviously the people in the front office know all this. The question is, do you think that they will consider it a good solution and go after him?

yeah, we were talking about him a good bit before the season got started when he got cut from the lions. i'm not sure what it was he did that caused him to get cut from them but that's two teams this year that cut him for attitude issues and breaking the leagues steroid policies didn't give anyone much reason to wait around for him.

he did say there were 6 teams that had talked to him right before the season ended but he had to tell them that he was going to be suspended 4 weeks. it would make sense that the panthers were one of those teams. the demand is going to be pretty high right now, though. not only us but the falcons and chargers are really looking for big NTs because of injuries.

it's all going to boil down to who is going to be most willing to put up with his crap and pay him the most (most desperate).

he's good, he's just stupid and has a bad attitude.

Questions is: Can we afford him? Not sure what his veteran number is but it has to be fairly high. I read somewhere where they are seriously looking at making another trade because pickings are so slim out there right now. That is also a bad option to me because we already have Leonard, Kemo, Lewis, Hayden, Harris under contract. Would you really want to make a trade for someone who might have a hard time making the team next year?

If we can get him for the Vet Minimum I say yes. He will cost 720K I believe but only cost $485k against the cap.

I say sign him and tell him, this is your last chance. Mess up once and your done.

      Is Charlotte the worst sports city right now?

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I went to Canes games back in '04 & '05 when you were probably still a swimmer waiting to make your dad a father. There was no one there bc they sucked. Some of the lowest attendance in the NHL. As a Panthers fan coming off a SB season (03-04), I couldn't even believe they put a hockey team in Raleigh, and given the attendance, a lot of people speculated they would be relocated somewhere back up north where they would be supported and not "Mayberry." Seriously, educate youself.  That is reality. That being said, comparing that environment to 2024 Canes would be disingenuous. I was at PNC last year and know how great the current environment is. Comparing the current environment at BOA to 10 years ago is just as disingenuous.  Just bc you didn't witness how good BOA is when the Panthers are actually decent doesn't change reality. Seriously, surely you see that coming from such an elitist environment like the globally renowned world-class city of Raleigh, NC... I guarantee you if you went to a Canes game and a Panthers game in 2005, the difference would be unreal bc the Panthers were awesome and the Canes were (at the time) a moribund franchise. I have been in BOA when the whole stadium was rocking. You simply are young, don't know what you're talking about, but want to portray yourself as having knowledge about things you simply don't. You have a lot in common with modern day politicians and televangelists Like I said, Idiocracy has prevailed... Have a great day too!

      Let it all out bro.   At the end of the day Charlotte fans just aren't that passionate as other fans. The Panthers and Hornets crowds are wack.    Go to a Canes game and you will understand this. Tell the family I said hi and Happy Father's Day.

      Dude you have no idea what you're talking about. Best place to live?  LMAO... that's your criteria...  Charlotte gets put all over those lists too... come on man... and those lists have zero to do with sports. I'm done after this bc I'm punching down intellectually here... The Panthers have been bad for 6 years now. You are obviously young and not overly educated based off the "dunks" you're putting out there that certainly are, so let me educate you today on the Panthers. The Panthers sold out for well over a decade straight. BOA has been as good an environment as there is when the team is good.  Fan support for the Panthers has been incredible when the team has even remotely reciprocated. The idea that Charlotte doesn't support the Panthers is utter BS. People in Raleigh have the biggest little brother syndrome of all time... Nobody outside of the Triangle cares about any of your "vaunted" sports team outside of Duke-UNC in basketball on a national scale. Sure, the Canes are great. But nationally, the WWE dwarfs the NHL in ratings. More people care about Cody Rhodes than Sebastian Aho... or anyone else in the NHL for that matter... I doubt less than 5% of anyone in this state outside of Raleigh even knows who that is... that's a knock on Aho who is a great player, it's just the NHL barely makes a ripple in the overall hierarchy of American sports. It's not in the same universe as the NFL or NBA no matter how badly you want to tell yourself otherwise. Raleigh is not a big-time sports city, no matter how much you want to scream into the abyss about it. Neither is Charlotte. But no one here is making such a nonsense argument... LOL it's good to be young and to be ignorant enough to be confidently wrong... WTF are you even on this board though since Charlotte is so beneath you? There is an actual discussion board on this very site for Raleigh sports since they are so superior...  Maybe it's bc I'm watching Idiocracy with my son, but your timing is perfect, my man... The dumbest among us have become the most confidence in their ignorance... God Bless America!!
