Found it after all.  It was Person who wrote about the Webb cut being unpopular in the locker room.  Not a surprise at all...

1. They’ll roll the dice at quarterback.

The Panthers clearly think Cam Newton’s surgically repaired shoulder is healthy because they’ll open the season with just two quarterbacks for the first time since 2013. Joe Webb, the third QB/emergency WR/special teams ace, was the odd man out when the team decided initially to keep six receivers before Clay was dealt.

Webb was well liked by teammates and coaches, and this was a deal that didn’t go over well in the locker room. The Panthers also waived No. 4 QB Garrett Gilbert, and will start the season with Newton and longtime backup Derek Anderson as their only quarterbacks.

This is kind of a jaw dropper for me. I figured DA would get to ride out this season, but I really expected us to keep Webb. He seemed to be playing pretty well out there and had a lot of upsides.

The only thing I can imagine is that we really needed the roster spot and he was getting a might expensive for a QB3. I wouldn't be surprised to see him turn up in Buffalo as the backup QB, which may have been in the wings before this shook out.

 

Looks like I was right.

      Jack Roslovic: Only 2 other UFA, right-handed centers age 28 or under had more points (39) than him- Sam Bennett (51) and Pius Suter (46). There were 4 other centers age 33 and older who scored more: Gireaux (37), Marchand (37), Tavares (34), Granlund (33).  Unless the Canes go old, if they let Jack walk, they won't get a center who scored more.  Thoughts?

      It's important to differentiate criticism and hate. I can't speak for that individual you quoted. But most people who have been critical of the Tepper's have been so because both of them have made it a point to put themselves front and center and in the middle of team operations and we have been largely horrific more often than not as a result. If people are making derogatory remarks about her that should be met with an appropriate response but if people are being defensive just because she's being criticized all I can say is people should get used to it. Both her and David would have been getting absolutely skewered by the media and the fans if this were a big market franchise. The Lakers are finally being sold off after years and years of public criticism of Jeannie Buss and even though I'm the furthest you could go from being a Lakers fan just about anyone you could meet who is familiar with the NBA would say the criticism was certainly valid.
