Tidbits from my source

Y’all do understand that some teams care about the players and understand while this is a business, they aren’t dealing with livestock. Unless they got a great offer they were willing to let Crabtree choose his next stop. Classy move. Same reason Bill didn’t just ship Jimmy G to the Browns. 

Maybe I didn't explain it very well. Basically he didn't really want to come to Carolina. Only way he wanted to move to the east coast was under his terms. Fans also don't get not every GM is a A hole like Dave was. NFL GMs like to keep good working relationships with players agencies on top of why would Carolina want a player that didn't want to be here? I don't know who RR sources are but it's probably why they laughed. A deal was never going to happen and I touched on that in the trade thread.

@stbugs - yeah samuel might be f-ed. 

It didn't seem that way to me. Just seemed like he has a serious injury that will also prevent him from being in football shape. I think people don't realize it would probably have been better if he just tore his ACL.

I have been concerned about this.  It's a bad injury and one that will set his development back even further than it has been.  This team is cursed I tell you.

Or maybe when he tried to hide it and sign a multi million $$ contract 

I was taliking about Samuel. 

[Panthers8969]

Lmao. Yeah Crabtree hatted the idea of playing for an actual contender so much he someone how convinced the raiders to get nothing instead of a 5th and took a million dollar a year paycut. 

 

Honestly not not sure how anyone can think that.

To many knee jerk reactions to samuel. It’s been one year and everybody saying bust and they done with him lol. Fact is he’s the most talented WR on the roster. Chill out and let things play out.

I'm honestly not THAT concerned even if Samuel has a career ending or career altering injury. I was looking forward to seeing his development but at this point he was still nothing more than an intriguing developmental piece. He was just super raw as a WR.

That was always my issue with Gettleman's WR drafting. He really didn't draft WRs. He drafted guys who fit the athletic mold of what he wanted in specific WR positions. Of the three guys he drafted in the 1st or 2nd round, only KB exclusively played WR in the college and even he was viewed as a WR/TE tweener by a lot of people. Funchess split time between TE and WR and Samuel split time at RB and WR. All of these guys came into the league really raw as WRs so it's not exactly surprising that KB was the only one who found early success.

[LinvilleGorge]

The best way to get the best bang for the buck out of the salary cap in the NFL is to draft impact players and get production out of them while they're on their cheap rookie contracts. We spent way too much valuable draft capital (early round draft picks) drafting at positions of depth where those guys were going to be buried behind better, more experienced players and drafting project players.

Sad thing is he wouldn't of got hurt if he just caught that ball........good grief

Well now I’m worried. 

Sorry...meaning that there is some concern that he won’t be ready for the start of camp.
