T'was a joke.  

Not a very good one, I'm afraid.

Good. I want him to get paid. The guy sacrificed his health, possibly long term, for the Panthers. He deserves to be paid.

At the end of the day, he was the starting LT for the best team this franchise has ever fielded and I hope that's the way most fans will remember him.

I think some fans have underestimated how good he really was for us too. I was very comfortable with him protecting Cam's blind side.

I would imagine calling out the "people downstairs" responsible for GMan's release on Twitter expedited this a bit.

The season rests on Matt Kalil.

For a second I thought, "well I guess we are still stuck with Remmers...oh wait, we have Matt Kalil now! That's better....wait is that better?.."

Not surprising at all honestly.

I wish him well, and I assume we will reach an injury settlement with him, or at least we should.

Well he was 1st round pick for a reason. He's pretty darn good when he's healthy and we most definitely have a good O-line coach.

It's probably safe to say it didn't help.

Also, I have a feeling Oher already saw the writing on the wall when he crafted that post.

I honestly doubt it. This always seemed like the inevitable conclusion of this situation.

Might be a stupid question, but does the NFL offer any sort of insurance policy with an injury settlement?

[L-TownCat]

Thanks Mike.  Appreciate your contributions here.  Please get well and take care of yourself.

I agree. GMAN had and him were close and I think he wanted to see if anything was possible if Oher wanted to try. I don't think it's always the most dramatic explanation.

Nope.  Disagree.  Other is still in protocol and the writing is on the wall regarding his health.  He needs to get healthy for life and not football.  From a business side of things it's an unnecessary distraction for camp.  

Easy. I meant it jokingly.

Get off your high horse. Try not to take everything so seriously.
