Kalil and Short were not great business moves

Why not

Short was one of the the better DTs in the NFL

He had 1 bad fugging year this year and people freak.

Fug, people need to back away from the ledge a little.

Someone fill me in on why we are making this decision now...? Wouldn’t it be wiser to see what happens with Shaq, what else is out there in FA, what other teams are offering him and even what is there in the draft if he hadn’t signed elsewhere by then? Why make this definitive decision so soon?

It wasn't one bad year. He has five total sacks in two years since signing his big money contract. He averaged 8 sacks per game in the three seasons leading up to that contract including 11 sacks in his contract year.  He got paid and mailed it in.

Really a bummer we couldn't bring him back on a low end deal.  But I truly think Shaq will shine in a full-time role in position that fits him better (don't knock that until you've seen a full season).   I have very little faith in Mayo though, so we have to hope that Carter or Andre Smith turn out to be capable

This is stupid.  I dont agree with this decision at all...  TD still has plenty left in the tank.  I understand needing to know when to cut ties with aging vets is paramount to running a winning organization, but so is knowing when to hang on to aging vets who can still play.  TD can still play at a really high level, and outside of Luke, he is still our 2nd best LB.  There's even video from the Steelers blowout earlier this season where Tomlin is just unabashedly fanboying out about TD, including a play he made during the game demonstrating his athleticism and IQ...  and from my own eye test, I haven't seen any noticeable drop off in ability, so, I just don't get it.

And TBH, Shaq sucks, and TD in his late-thirties is better than Shaq is on his best day...  so again, I just don't understand this decision.  Really dumb.  

Best of luck, TD...  a Panthers Legend, and keep pounding! 

(I think he ends up with either the Saints, the Bucs, or the Bills.)

Really badly hope he doesn’t go to Falcons, Bucs or Aints. I’d be okay with Giants or Panthers north in Buffalo

If they'd take him the Falcons makes too much sense. Playing home and the family is close. I wouldn't be shocked if he ends up in Atlanta. New England or Pittsburgh

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
