Probably not a good joke if you have to work this hard for it.    Good to see you back on here.

Nah. Hearn vs random nobody on the street.

And the bad part was...he lost.

I don't think he can come off the IR for another team either. I think you can trade a player, but the point of that rule change was that players could come off IR (Gano can't) so it made sense that they could be traded and come off of IR for the other team. Again, I think because Gano went on IR before the roster was set, he really can't play this year unless we cut him.

I wonder if that is the plan with him. Let him get healthy then talk him into taking some guarantees off his contract in order for us to release him so he can find another team?

Some of the players about to be cut are being discussed as trades before the deadline. I'd imagine that Cox and Butler are among the group, and one or both could be headed somewhere in the state of New York. I still think one or both won't be in a Panthers uniform come opening day.

    • If Mays has a market, which it seems he will, he's gone.  I think we bring back Nijman for too much money to be cautious at LT, Corbett comes back cheap since he's already said he wants to live in CLT, and Christensen eventually gets re-signed with the hopes he can be depth at some point.  Draft an OT, draft a C. The OL might be rough for stretches next year, but time to get some youth there to prepare for Bryce in 2027 or the next QB. I still think we compete for the division in 2026 and can go back to the playoffs unlike the oddsmakers in Vegas, but the *real* year is 2027 IMO. Either Bryce has proven it and he's the QB looking at his 2nd contract, or we have the ready-made team for the next rookie QB or Vet we trade for. 
    • The Panthers are going to have a lot more flexibility in free agency than it looks like at first glance. On paper, the cap space might seem tight, but there are several obvious restructure candidates that could easily free up significant room. Between converting base salaries into signing bonuses and spreading cap hits out over future years, Carolina could realistically clear $60–80 million in additional space if they wanted to be aggressive. That kind of flexibility means they’re not stuck. They can extend key young pieces, add help along the offensive line, upgrade the defense, and still be strategic about value signings. Letting Cade Mays test the market makes sense from a leverage standpoint. If he’s willing to come back on a team-friendly deal, great, continuity on the line matters. But if his market price climbs, the Panthers should absolutely explore upgrades. The point is, this front office isn’t boxed in. With cap maneuvering and smart structuring, they have the ability to be active players in free agency rather than sitting on the sidelines like we are used too.
