Funchess isn't getting a contract extension

Panthers GM Marty Hurney suggested he doesn't plan to extend contract-year WR Devin Funchess this season.

"You want to see a guy put back-to-back years together," Hurney told reporters at training camp. Funchess is coming off a breakout year, but his role may be scaled back with an improved supporting cast. The Panthers also want Funchess to prove he can stay healthy after battling injuries throughout 2017.

Of course not before the season, that wouldn't be smart for either side. But you don't let him walk and start over with DJ, Curtis, and Torrey.

Barring an awful injury riddled season he'll get an extension or franchised next summer, it's not like we have anyone else to franchise. He's a wr that just turned 24, trending up and is finally entering his prime years. Funchess will be here

  I think DJ Moore’s performance may have as big an impact on his contract as Devins does. And that franchise tag is going to be very high with all the new contracts. Just guessing but around 15M+. If you think DJ is a #1WR after one year, it’s going to make the decision even more difficult.

We'll know by the end of the fourth game whether we should offer and extension or not. I think he's just entering his prime and he will be ready to seal up one of the starting WR positions on the team for the next five years. If he comes out of the gates on fire, then he could be seeing many, many dollars in his future.

It doesn't always work out that way and right now we have a better crop of WRs than previous years to see us through this season and the next. He's going to have to perform well, adapt and overcome to get that contract with us -- a middling performance will put him on the market (where he will find generous compensation) as we'll have enough on the shelves to see us through.

I wish him luck, I sure do want to see him here for the long term. Good guy, tougher than he looks and great potential.

      In general, It's just unfortunate that he got hurt. But...I'd argue that all's well that ends well; the Panthers are in a better place in regards to the RB room, and, not only has CMC had the opportunity to almost win his team a championship in overtime of the Super Bowl, he's playing for a franchise known for solidity if not historical excellence.

      What has happened in HS athletics busted full force into the college world with this NIL/transfer portal stuff. HS sports has been jacked up for a long time now. You have all these "prep schools" that are basically just diploma mills for athletes who hoover up all the good athletes they can get and they're all on scholarship. Then they go out and recruit decent athletes with rich parents to come onboard and pay outrageous tuition while they tout their success at getting their athletes college scholarships. Yeah, those athletes getting college scholarships are the same ones you're giving scholarships to so that you can use them to recruit the rich kids whose parents can pay for it all. You see the same thing in youth travel ball leagues. The whole thing is just getting crazy.
