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.

      Not in same league. Caldwell just hit a 10.00 on the RAS. 2nd out of 3830 from 1987 onward.  https://x.com/MathBomb/status/2027885023387349047 Yeah I mean Louis had a sub 9.00 RAS. Still very very good, no doubt. Louis is small, no 2 ways about it. He is likely a sub package lb in nickel packages or specialized WLB. Be fine ST gunner to start for sure. 6 foot flat and 220lb is pushing it for a starting LB. At 10 to 20lbs less than the other LBs he'd better be closer to the top in most timed drills. He's gonna be challenged when some of the wrs in the class can matchup bigger stronger faster, much less TE in the run game.  Yeah instinct matter and he has them, but that size is a massive red flag compared to many of the other LBS in this class.    Rodriguez is the LB that really climbed this week from a pure grit guy to great flash with athleticism people wrote off cause he was a QB at first at UVA. 18.4mph in the backpedal. Production the last 2 years were great. I'd be thrilled with him as the future mike.   Hill likely moved out of 51 and into the top 45 picks ( Ravens at 45 I can't imagine don't bite if he makes it there). Honestly Hill imo is a 1st rounder and I'd be ok with him as he fits the MLB we have missed the last few years. People would crow it's a reach but he's top 30 all-time I'm RAS for a LB at 9.9+ . Plus he was big time in big games when he was healthy. And that br a big check: meds.

      Miller, Melo, Coby, Moose, and Bridges all on the floor at the same time must be a nightmare for defenses lol. Switch one out for Kon and still a nightmare. Coby really does bring a true 6th man value and looks like he could start if Melo was out after only a few games of getting his feet wet.

      Well I guess he should stop playing football. This was his defining moment and chance to prove he was generational and he failed. What a waste of football life..
