That was the intent here?

Normal staff, sure, but here? Since you have all 22, how often was Cam still locked onto to Benjamin and/or forcing him the ball into coverage? I know I've seen it recently. Can't put a number on it though.

He was locked on to Funchess more then Kelvin on Sunday with those deep throws that were way off.

Can't wait for him to trade next 2019s 1st and 2nd round picks to move up in the sixth next year. Idiot.

A 3rd and a 7th is marginally better.  Not worth trading your #1 receiver for moving up a few spots in the 3rd and a 7th round pick bud.

Ok let me break this down for you. a comp pick is rewarded in the drafter a year AFTER loosing said player(the Norman comp pick was for this years draft). KB had his 5th year option for 2018 activated(8.5 M). so that means if this trade did not happen and we let KB walk in Free agency 2019, we would get a comp pick in the 3rd round of the 2020 draft IF and ONLY if we signed less free agents than we lost.

Yeah buddy, we understand how comp picks work.  Did I really need to spell out the fact that the picks would be in different years?  Doesn't change that this trade is for a glorified UDFA.  The new GM we have should be competent enough to make sure we retain the comp pick for KB.  

[Mr. Scot]

Other teams used to "reach out"  to Marty Hurney too; generally, with offers to trade for future first round picks.

I remember during Gettleman's first draft, someone called to offer a second rounder in exchange for next year's first. He responded "you must be brain dead to think I'd take a deal like that". 

That told me a lot about how other teams saw the Panthers under Hurney. No surprise if that reputation is back in place. 

[LinvilleGorge]

The Hurney nightmare is in full swing. :(

I love this trade lol KB was the softest big man since Barney. 

[AceBoogie]

Cam’s #1 WR is now Funchess. My god. Cam is having his own struggles but this damn teammate isn’t doing him any favors

Benjamin was as tough as they come.

Wanna talk soft, see our new number 1

Marty Hurney: "I'm not going to make the same mistakes I made years ago." 

 

No, you're making all new ones. 

[ForJimmy]

We could have at least got Glenn or another one of their tackles...

Or one of their billion of draft picks worth a damn

[klumme]

For the love of God the Panthers need to put Hurney in a witness protection program before the idiot have traded for Brown og Edwards and have traded away first round picks while giving out huge contracts to Stewart and Kalil. 

The "some Gm reached out to Hurney" has never ended well for us.
