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

[Doc Holiday]

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

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 should still be here...the reason he is not here is all his own. he kept flip flopping on retirement and we moved on.

If R Kalil hadn't retired, you think the Panthers FO would have cut him/ not resigned him?

Khalil Mack?

How do some of ya'll still not know how to spell the man's last name?

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

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.

Kalil is washed up, dude hasn’t been good for a couple seasons already. TD was still good and out performing Shaq

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.

They don’t play for us...wish them well but really don’t care

Pretty much my opinion.   The good is that they are both good ambassadors for our team. I dont think there were any bridges burned and when asked they have nothing but good things to say about the Panthers.
