What makes you think Tepper had anything to do with it. Hurney said he and Ron have been looking since Searcy went on IR and Reid was at the top of the list. Tepper himself said a while back  he wasn't going to interfere in the football side and has faith in the people he has in place. This was Hurney and Ron's choice for better or worse.

I think they got his blessing. That's what he had to do with it.

What an image. Let us take a moment to recognize the courage and fortitude of #Panthers ownership and the front office staff and head coach Ron Rivera for signing an obvious talent in an area of obvious need. Pretty simple to do the right football thing. https://t.co/2dSGr0elYq

Oooh, I dunno...

Jonathan Jones: Reid signing would not likely have happened under Jerry Richardson

Call it a hunch.

Why? This signing takes away his whole collusion lawsuit. Goodell is probably on the phone thanking Hurney and Tepper for taking him. 

He may not persue it more but this doesn't undo any alleged previous acts of collusion. Kapernick is still there to pursue his side

This is no way they didn't run this one up the chain for approval.  There were league level legal and pr implications.  Tepper was either asked for permission or pushed for it himself.

Yeah there is no way they ask. Asking basically proves the collusion case. They aren’t that stupid.

EDIT: disregard. Misunderstood.

    • I really appreciate Bill explaining his methodology here because that gives interested parties a chance to try and recreate the results themselves. I believe that it's safe to assume that despite emphasis being placed on WRs that Chuba Hubbard is one of the Panthers' top-5 weapons. Considering targets, yardage, receptions, etc... Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette are also on the list. Jalen Coker's success might have snuck him in there as well. I can't draw a conclusion on who #5 is though. I've narrowed it down to Diontae Johnson, David Moore, Ja'Tavion Sanders, and possibly Rico Dowdle if they're taking into account his production for the Cowboys in 2024.
    • Unfortunately business is business especially when there are large sums of money on the table. Goes the same for player and ownership. Does not make it right either way.  Why would he not want to play for the niners? Closer to home with a team that has a chance of delivering a SB trophy. 
    • I don’t know if it’s him bad mouthing his former situation in public or my pettiness but either way I’m not a fan. Dude was on playoff teams getting paid millions to entertain. I’m not better that because and I am better than that. You don’t bad mouth your former employer in public. Esp after getting over paid and two, poor little Russian baby didn’t get the playing spot he wanted. Rod had him exactly where is was supposed to be.  He had a mean lip check and did defend our players. Specifically the devils game around Christmas where is our Haula on his ass. Cool. Thank you. But don’t talk poo about us. Because it make you look like Haula.    “need to get as far away as possible”. fug off. Didn’t see Burnsy bad mouthing and his play dropped off too.    sorry, but Orlov doesn’t get a pass from me. See you twice a year…
