Why Kalil and TD playing for other teams is a good thing. And actually should be celebrated.

Agree though I think with TD he’s still a solid player even if as a backup for vet min and we didn’t even consider keeping him for that...

TD signed a 2-year, $10MM contract with 5 guaranteed. Why would he have played for vet minimum?

We are finally not keeping players way past their prime for sentimental reasons. Thank fuging God!

 

Uh we kept Kalil too long, he never should have been extended in 2016. Sure he has a great 2015 year thanks to help from the second best oline in the NFL that year, but he was under contract until 2017. He was worthless in 2016, 2017 and 2018. In fact, when Larsen replaces him there was no drop off stat and play wise. Had the Panther kept his current contract and made him prove it in 2017 to earn a new one he would’ve saved the Panthers a lot of money. He was already showing signs of shoulder/neck injury during the 2016 offseason.

Not to mention the influence he probably had on JR to sign his brother. Was Gettleman’s biggest anomaly of a signing during his time here. Wonder why? You could say he was signed for his intangibles but that’s a lot of money to help Cam call plays and tell the oline where to sign up, things we shouldn’t be paying anyone for.

All in all he pretty much fleeced the Panthers for 3 years of being one of the highest paid centers in the league and I think the Panthers could’ve played it smarter.

 

But I agree with Davis. Great timing and was impressed we actually moved on.

He has alluded to the fact that he was willing to stay here for less money but the team didn’t want him back under any terms. I don’t know what he would’ve settled for I’m just pointing out that there probably should’ve at least been a conversation with TD’s camp about being a backup here for less money but we just pushed him out.

Why would he even entertain the insult that he is worth only the minimum while the Chargers gave him over $5M?

Let's be reasonable.

      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.
