Dude gave the Panthers everything he had

[Chaos]

I like career Panthers.  Never jumped to ATL like I thought he might in early FA. 

[TheCasillas]

Good dude. Great article. Anyone know what happened to his restaurant?

[Khyber53]

Glad we had the opportunity to have him here for his career. Excellent guy, gave it his all and did a lot for the organization on the field and behind the scenes.

Hope he enjoys himself and that he's set up well for life!

[Seltzer]

Wish him the best and appreciate his contributions as a Panther. Had some really good and productive years. Hope he enjoys his retirement!

[Shocker]

Charles was a real pro, good career man.

Enjoy retirement brother

2nd in career sacks leader in team history behind JPep. He earned his retirement.

Great player for us who absolutely maximized his career earnings. Not gonna lie though, he lost some points when he took KB's side over Can in their recent spat.

Glad he never switched sides on us. 

Also in hindsight not really surprising considering he had Marty blank check Hurney negotiating deals.

This. Not sure how real the threat from the Falcons was but on paper at the time I definitely understand why Hurney was very concerned CJ would head to ATL. That threat certainly helped CJ's position at the bargaining table.

You are a genius at finding the negative in every scenerio.

Not trying to make a joke or anything, but probably the same thing that happened to Deon Sanders’ restaurant, Dan Morgan’s restaurant, etc etc. 

Food industry is small margins especially if you don’t have the volume. Players invest thinking it’s easy money especially if they think they don’t have to be involved. Really it’s usually a money pit and don’t see their return.

Well he bought the old firestation by the vue on 5th, and was supposed to be opening a BBQ joint, but nothing has changed since his announcement 3 years ago.
