Someone help me understand why he'd agree to this? Just sit there on IR and get your full guaranteed pay - and the rest of the season's worth of top quality healthcare and rehab. I have to think that if it's a settlement that it's likely for less than he would've otherwise made or why would the Panthers have offered to settle?

If he's a free agent once healthy he should be eligible for a new team's roster (where he could cover the difference / make more money). 

Makes sense for both sides as I believe that is that case, if he stayed on IR he'd have to wait til next off-season.

Guess you could say he "pulled a Hurney" on that one.  :shades:

Nah. In the post draft presser, he paused, then said "I think we got two good CBs."  

He didn't expect that one to work out.

 

(Don't reply calling me an idiot yet. I'm going to verify that is in the video. I'm sure I'll feel like an idiot enough after watching.)

 

Ok. So maybe he didn't pause, but he did say "a couple of them have the chance to be good players."

 A little after the 3:30 mark.

He could sign with another team now. Apparently the inury wasn't all that bad .

I guess I'm just looking at it from the perspective of a guy who doesn't think he's NFL caliber so my thought process was to just get everything you can this season because that's probably all you're gonna get. I saw him going on IR as basically winning the lottery.

      Panthers give Ashawn Robinson permission to seek trade

      Damn I liked A'Shawn too. This is basically a heads up we're planning on cutting you move.  Robinson wasn't the best but I loved his attitude and effort on the field. He held that entire dline together when Brown went down iirc..granted we finished that season as the worst rushing defense in modern NFL history.  If Wharton would have performed up to atleast half of his salary last season, I'd feel a little better about it. We do need that cap space though.

      13. Carolina is coming. The Panthers are well thought of around the league. Their "process" seems sound. I think their off-season will be very interesting to keep an eye on. They made the playoffs, but they're not yet knocking on the door. (Offense was 26th in EPA/play.) I think it's imperative they don't overestimate where they are in their build. They can't throw a ton of money around in FA to "make a run now". They need to be intentional about building a solid foundation. (IMO) And from what I know about the team... I think they will be. Sidenote: I have my eye on offense there, not defense. They HAVE to leave next season with a strong opinion on Bryce Young. They need to put pieces around him to do that. Can't be left wondering what he would have looked like with "better OL play" or "more pass catchers". They have to know. (That part is purely my opinion. No one told me that.) https://x.com/lindsay_rhodes/status/2027212533417869499?s=46&t=xeIgh_-Vr2aKxBkBJdfnKA

      Because this DL is completely reliant on Brown being available and being a stud. Without him we were the worst D in history. The Wharton signing last year reeked of desperation. He just isn't a great fit for us schematically and I think we panicked a little bit when we missed out on Milton Williams who would have been a great fit.
