lol @ the people criticizing hurney for this move. 

Your beloved DG thought it would be a great idea to let go of Tillman, Harper, and Norman, draft 2 rookies and actually start them which directly resulted in one of the worst secondaries in Panthers history on the way to a 6-10 record, last in the NFC South just 1 year removed from a juggernaut 15-1 Superbowl run. 

how far people will go to slurp up the man they call god.

That’s a pretty reasonable price to pay for a linebacker and locker room leader of Davis’ caliber, even if he has lost half a step. It also seems like a piddling sum to solve what may have been a major factor in the recent firing of former general manager Dave Gettleman.

I'm not seeing a guy whose lost half a step.

Too much for what should be a backup by then. Love TD and it is only a year but this doesn't help the team.

I'm confused.  Who is taking his place as of now?  Shaq is already a starter.  You think Cash is ready to start and be an upgrade.  Give me a break.  A measly one year deal with only 2 million of that guaranteed is nothing for a pro bowl LB who means so much to this team.

They began talks two weeks before Gettleman got canned.. Read between the lines. :/

Well at least we have this one out of the way. I will be surprised if TD doesn't start to lose a little something in his game before he sees the end of that contract though. He may have lost a little bit already.

He has, but he can play at a level worthy of the deal for this and next year.  Remember, he actually "saved" three years on his body in many ways.

I for 1 am happy.  The man wants a ring more than anyone else and has been through hell to get there.  I will take his motivation, leadership, strength and skills in hope that we get there again and he fulfills his mission to bring Big Cat and the organization that means THE WORLD to him the Lombardi.  His presence on the defense is not measurable - how does one measure the heart of this team?  Love it and hopefully it happens this year.  I sincerely believe he would retire if we won it all this year.

Agree 100%.  Perhaps you could take the money and bring in a stop-gap FA for less if you look at it from a strict money standpoint but you basically poo on Davis and the rest of the team for what a million or so in cap savings.... 

 

No problem with this deal.  Hurney not giving away the franchise.

      How Will the Lawrence Trade Influence the Draft???

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Word is that Lawrence showed up and weighed in at nearly 400 pounds for his Bengals medical check. I'd find a reason to fail him. Blood type tested as bacon grease. Fail. We've all seen what happens when a dominant huge, explosive DT can't manage his weight. You're gonna age like milk. Looking like Kris Jenkins 2.0.

      Draft Week Rumors, Leaks and Media Draftniks Final Mocks

      By PleaseCutStewart · Posted

      Hard to interpret some of Brugler's opinions. Capable of running a robust route tree sounds like a lazy thing to say - I'm sure just about every slot TE is capable of running a full route tree... I want to know if he is currently able to (which from tape leads me to a no). Granted, it's pretty common for most receivers/TE not having a full route tree developed before they get drafted. Agility/acceleration after the catch hasn't shown up on his tape (at least his Oregon tape) for those dig/out breaking routes while it has for the seam and slant routes. Agree he has a good physical build and he is very good running seam routes. His build definitely helps him to shield defenders and create a large target point for the QB. Drops were a concern, but it could be focus drops just like T-Mac was/is prone to. Run blocking is an accurate statement, but again, we have only seen him run block in the slot/backfield - inline blocking is a whole different animal. With his athleticism, he definitely has a high ceiling. I just think he also has a low floor and don't like taking that big of a risk on a mid 1st rounder. I think this is a deep TE draft and would much rather target one in the 3rd or later. He's very boom or bust to me - bust in terms of being worth a 1st round pick, not an out of the NFL in a few years type bust. I feel like he gives me Evan Engram vibes. Not saying that Evan Engram was/is a bad NFL player, just that most people would agree he shouldn't have been drafted in the 1st.
