Two other teams that could not offer him the reps he wanted also released him after the Panthers. The Rams are the only ones that could give him what he wanted, so it's worked out. 

Other teams being stupid doesn't really make us being stupid any better.

If we're looking to justify our coach's actions by saying "you know that team that traded away Khalil Mack and Amari Cooper did the same thing", I'd have to say that might be just a little bit of a stretch.

Nothing makes how Carolina managed this acceptable. It’s either a front-end or back-end botch, but make no mistake....it was a mistake.

Don't interrupt the Hurney-Rivera Hatefest going on with sensitivity. There is no place for sensitivity or empathy in the NFL, or the Huddle. It's not like a team member or a forum member can become a bigger problem than their worth, and we all know that the NFL and Huddle are bereft of any type of class and decorum.

You mean like Steve Smith did?

I didn't realize you supported that move.

Gettleman said in so many words that Smith was let go because of his age and diminished ability. I'm too lazy and apathetic to look up the exact quotes, but Gettleman basically said that some old warriors don't know when to hang it up. He "hung it up" for Smith in as unprofessional and classless o' manner that I've seen for a person of 89's stature. I'm sure that his lack of professionalism and empathy made you smile.

Sensitivity should never be a guiding principle when managing an NFL roster. 

 

It's not a "guiding" principle. 

Teams let vets, particularly those who are basically on a one-year rental---those who aren't necessarily being used---go on their way to find greener pastures every once in awhile. This isn't a new precedent.

      2026 NFL Combine Thread: 2.26.26 - 3.1.26

      Ok--I have seen some sample items, and I would like to see something (if possible) measures on field intelligence--maybe how quickly you can grasp a playbook or absorb film session adjustments...Back when we had Morrison as team president and Hurney as GM, I offered to assess (as part of my research in education requirement at a University) emotional intelligence and learning styles of players to help coaches teach more effectively.  Morrison loved it and contacted me about it.  Hurney was not interested, and it fell through the cracks.  My pitch?  If only 50% of first-rounders become successful NFL players and that number drops significantly, can you tell me that you are effectively measuring talent?  Morrison thought it was a good point and wanted to do something that might improve long-term success rates--that would impact the cap management, etc.  Marty, according to Morrison, said he was not interested at this time and if so, he would want a football guy to do it.  (I told Morrison that I played in college and Hurney, a sports reporter at one time, did not. (He told me that Hurney played as a Guard in college--who knew?) Any way, about that time, Morrison left (2017) and the idea was dropped.  I reached back out a year later or so to Marty was still not interested.  A few days later, his wife accused him of assault or something, so I dropped it.

      Pretty sure they still do the Wonderlic they just don't publicly release the scores.

      I just thought he was under the radar--but thanks for opening our eyes to him.  I think we should have better measures for intelligence--such as reaction time, angles, etc. Legette is raw as heck, for example, and his RAS was very high.  We used to do the Wonderlic (which was not great) but to know how effectively a player makes on field decisions would be great.
