Should Jerry Richardson be in the War Room?

Jerry Richardson built the Panthers. That's a fact that can never be changed. And this will be the last chance he ever has to be around for a draft.

But of course there's that thing...

What message did you send by trotting out someone who's considered by a lot of the public to be a sexual harasser and a racist? In giving him a "last hurrah", do you cast a shadow over the next owner?

The NFL wants Jerry Richardson to fade from the public consciousness as soon as possible. If it were their decision, the answer would be obvious. The option likely belongs to the Panthers though, not the NFL. In fact, it sounds like the choice will be up to Richardson himself.

What would you do?

I mean, technically, it's still his War Room. So it all depends on if he wants to be there or not. I have no idea...and I also don't think it's all that important. If anything, it will be a story for a day or two if he's there. What I THINK he should do is never be heard from again but that also doesn't matter.

Heh :)

Honestly though, more than one source has confirmed that Richardson is still running the show. He's just doing it via shadow puppets instead of actually showing up at the office.

Gantt made it clear that Richardson plans to go down fighting, which makes me think he probably will be in the war room.

I wouldn't exactly call his presence in the war room "trotting out."  If he was delivering the picks to the podium, maybe.

I also don't see what he can do to cast a shadow over the next owner.  He could do some things that may cause some trouble in transition, and he could create some legal and contractual hurdles, but unless he sells to a personal friend that accompanies him to Thailand regularly for "business retreats" then I don't see how he can hit the reputation of the new guy.

That's the NFL's viewpoint.

Albert Breer talked about the NFL wanting him to be gone as soon as possible. And not just gone, but forgotten.

I get the sense that if the NFL could find something like the neuralyzer from Men In Black, they'd use it to make people forget that Jerry Richardson ever existed.

      I am curious to see if Warren is the elite player that the Huddle Warren stans believe. I am always fairly wary of these first round TE's.

      The Rossi things isn't going away, either... https://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/3312416/unfinished-business-7-players-to-watch-in-back-half-of-nhl-offseason The Wild and Rossi shouldn't be having any trouble hammering out an extension. Rossi, an RFA turning 24 in September, recorded the second-most points on the team last season (60 in 82 games). The smart, skilled, highly competitive 5-foot-9 Austrian is a homegrown top-six center. Minnesota has $10 million in cap space and no other significant spots to fill to finalize its 2025-26 roster. Problems lurk below the surface, however. Coach John Hynes demoted Rossi to the fourth line in the playoffs, dropping his nightly usage from 18 minutes in the regular season to 11 in the first-round series loss to Vegas. GM Bill Guerin's top to-do list item at the moment is to lock up Kirill Kaprizov. The superstar winger, who's been eligible for an extension since July 1, is due for Leon Draisaitl-type money (around $14 million average annual value) starting in 2026-27. Guerin has said there's no rush to sign, trade, or match an offer sheet for Rossi. If he stays, a short-term extension makes sense, since it gives both player and team flexibility. If he leaves, a trade is far more likely than an offer sheet. Half of the league could use a second-line center, and Rossi still has upside. The Hurricanes desperately need to upgrade at 2C (Jesperi Kotkaniemi isn't going to cut it) and have plenty of cap space. Ditto for the Sabres, who picked Jack Quinn one spot before Rossi went to the Wild in the 2020 draft. Mammoth bench boss Andre Tourigny coached Rossi in junior, and they don't have as much wiggle room, but trading top-six winger Nick Schmaltz (plus a pick) could make the math work. Guerin wants to make a so-called "hockey trade" here.
