Panthers trade Worley for Torrey Smith

Get him through trade instead of letting him hit the open market and possibly getting more.  Why so much hate?  Could be rejuvenated here much like Ginn was.

I don't think people understand how badly we missed Ginn last year.  Torrey Smith still has the wheels to take the top off a defense.  There is no reason to think he can't fill the Ginn role.  He's a couple years younger than Ginn

For the better part of two seasons, the Huddle hated Worley except Saca. 

Now that he's gone for a speedy deep threat, they're mad? Jesus Christ, make up your fuging minds you mindless clowns. 

They swapped a poo DB for a poo wr and lost 4.5 mil in cap space while doing it. 

Thats bad.

I’m convinced that if the Panthers win the Super Bowl next year that the people that hate Hurney (which is a decent amount of posters here) will still find something to gripe about. 

The window is open to win a Super Bowl and Smith can help do that. You have to give up something to get something. 

Fact of the matter is this, Hurney is the GM whether any of you like it or not. This staff, even with their contracts, has one year to prove themselves to the new owner. They’re making moves to win a Super Bowl. 

I understand hesitancy with Hurney part deux but some of the irrational hatred of everything the man does is just utterly ridiculous. 

There’s plenty of room on the Seahawks or Rams bandwagon for the malcontents here. Buckle up and support your squad.

Hmmm, don't know exactly how to feel about this trade. I'm optimistic about it though the contract is a little rough. Maybe once things become fully clear and all the details come out we will see a reason to eating that contract instead of waiting until FA.

I'm less upset about losing Worley and more upset about absorbing the contract of a guy who would have been cheaper on the open market. 

Of course if he were to hit the market he would need to be convinced to sign here, which could be why we pulled the trigger because Hurney doesn't have faith that he could convince a FA WR to join the squad. 

I don't know how I feel about this honestly. I think I'm too biased against Hurney to consider it a good move. 

Pretty much how the majority of the Huddle feels, but at the same time, they hate Hurney so much they won't admit it.

I love it. Worleys lack of production can be easily replaced. Trading for Torrey looks bad on paper since Philly had to cut him, but this basically gave us first dibs instead of having to risk losing him to some random team who would pay more. This gives Cam veteran speed and keeps Worley off the field. Win win in my eyes.

Worley was a pass interference machine at times and got benched a few times. Seemed to be in the coaches doghouse. Two underachieving players swapping teams. Not a bad deal for either side. Guess the Eagles are expecting to lose Darby.

Umm, okay. They'll gain that back by releasing Russell Shepard. NEXT................

And they can renegotiate his contract. You know that right? We can LITERALLY cut him with no dead money. You guys kill me.

    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ    
    • I don't know. CMC is like others and may have lip serviced that line of " I had no plan or wanted to leave Carolina" I think he even said he bought a house too and wanted this to be home.   Here's what I heard- In a way Panthers org gave him a test and he didn't "fight" back. They approached CMC and told him they wanted to put him on IR since the "season" was over or out of playoff reach. CMC didn't fight it one lick and agreed. They secretly wanted him to kept playing or want to, but there was no kickback. I honestly don't know if its real or not, 5th hand information type deal doing on. Yes he had bruises and pains, but was able to play...... but went along with Panthers staff. Odd to be playing games with star players, but whatever....   Plus the staff doctors found out about his tendinitis and there was nothing to fix it. Even with him missing time, it was the best move to trade him before he got inflamed constantly.    Lastly, its mostly time a combo of stuff, Fitterererere did not sign him to be the highest paid RB. That was classic Marty "give me a" herniay doing. GMs have different values on roster spots and rumor was Fitterererer was one that didn't want to pay RBs. For all his faults, he's right about that......
    • I think google is confusing signing bonus with guaranteed money. If you get a guarantee of say $10 million, it doesn’t matter if the signing bonus is $5 or $8 million, it’s the $10 million number that affects the cap, as the signing bonus is always just a portion of the guaranteed money anyways. And again, I’ll admit I’m not 100% sure about it, but I’m pretty sure it is the case.
