Maybe one day we’ll find out how much input Tepper had into signing Reid and if he strong-armed Ron and Marty into doing it. It’s possible that Tepper hates Trump so much that he just wanted to sign Reid as a kind of “middle finger”.

Signing a player to spite a politician would be a dumbass move worthy of Jerry Jones or Dan Snyder.

    @ladypanther pretty much answered this just a page back.  

 

    So kudos to Ron, and Marty, for starting the process.

“After we put Da’Norris Searcy on injured reserve, Ron (Rivera) and I [ Hurney] discussed our options, and Eric was at the top of our list. He is a physical safety with good ball skills and play-making ability.”

A league source told the Observer that the two began discussing available safeties on Monday morning. With Reid the obvious option, Hurney made the call to Reid’s agent on Tuesday to begin contract discussions. They flew Reid in on Wednesday. Panthers owner David Tepper approved the decision that day, a source close to the process told the Observer.

Disagree, but I'm not interested in turning this into a political discussion either way.

I'd much rather talk about what's changing with the Panthers.

So far I like the changes I'm seeing, but worry of a possible overindulgence in change.  These are uncharted waters ahead.

First off I probably don't agree with Mr Tepper on some of his political leanings.  But that's ok.  I still believe he's reasonable.  What excites me is that we have a fearless owner who is not afraid to challenge the status quo.  He is going to always trust his own instincts and judgement and do what he thinks is best.  He is a proven winner and he has already proven that as a Hedge Fund manager.  What we are seeing now is the beginning a legendary NFL owner.  He will win in the NFL too, and all football fans will know who David Tepper is.

I'm a fan of the Reid signing, but I'm not a fan if Tepper was leaning on Marty and Ron to do so.

 

 Now, if Marty called him and said "hey, we need this guy, Ron wants this guy, are we good to make an offer" and Tepper gave them the go ahead, I'm super excited.

If Tepper called a meeting with Ron and Marty, said he didn't like the way the back end of the defense was playing, and leaned on them to sign Reid...then I'm going to be pretty bummed out.

We will likely never know...that said...that's what we used to say during the previous regime.

Why does it matter if Tepper got involved?  Not getting that.
