I hear you but cleaning house and not getting any draft assets is a odd.  Someone would have given a 4rth for Turner. 

One of our coaches (the o-line coach?) has been chirping for bringing in Okung. Rhule listened. I want draft picks for our trades as well.

I get that but if we cut him in june that goes out the window.  I think the oline coach excuse is just something they say to sugarcoat it the day of.

My god. Ive never been this embarrassed as a Panthers fan

Guards are easier to replace than tackles. I like the idea of him helping Little and Daley develop.

[CmC2k]

it's easier to find a guard than a LT and if he can teach little a thing or too then we won this trade.

If I were the o-line coach I'd be pissed if they tried to say I wanted a guy I didn't really want.

Wtf......

The potential thing here is if Trai is more out of shape and not really "in it" anymore than is seen and really doesn't have as much value as projected.  I dunno but we're opening up a ton of cap for 2021. 

This leaves Short, Paradis and Gano as the remaining albatrosses we may move away from in demolishing the old regime. 

Minus Cam we're down to the bare bones at this point.

Trading you best olineman for a lineman whos older, less accomplished, and has a bigger cap hit . Just Hurney things

[pantherj]

Paradis needs to go if that can be done in a reasonable way. Although wouldn't Paradis be more in the mold of what Rhule wants (besides him being shitty).

if we trade turner, why are we on the hook for anything in regards to him?

Because any guaranteed money not accounted for accelerates to the cap immediately. Same thing happens regardless if you cut or trade a player. Only way you don’t take the hit all at once is when you spread it over 2 years by using the post June 1st destination. With this being the final year of the CBA, there’s no post June 1st destination allowed and all dead money has to be accounted for this year.

Everyone relax! We’re not trading a 5 time pro bowl OG for a 2 time pro bowler 31yr old OT Straight up. We shud be receiving some picks back in return like a 3rd to even out the deal

Like the move. Cost us 1 yr salary on a less than great LT. But we dumped Turners contract.
