  So a “better” player that is 5 years younger on a complete rebuild. For one year that isn’t going to go well anyhow. At close to 50% highest salary? What’s the thought process. They eat 9.6M dead cap + 13M for Okung. That 22.6M to keep the LT of the future away from LT. 
 

   Best bet is to wait for a LT to go down on another team and is desperate enough to trade for Okung. Get a 3rd and it’s back to what it should have been. A trade for a pick not a salary. 

Well in hindsight when you see the other moves we have made, it makes a lot less sense. At the time, I thought it was a reasonable trade. Now when you see all the other bumbling moves, it doesn't make a lot of sense. But, without Okung, we'd be seeing a lot of Kyle Allen again because Bridgewater would get broken in half with our other LT options.

And I definitely understand surface level grades but they are just that at this point, surface level. We were on the hook for 2 more years with him and the current staff didn't feel like he fit our plan/team dynamic moving forward.

Trust the process... 

  You eat 9.6M dead cap and you’re not on the hook for anything. We could have gotten a pick and been “off the hook”. Instead we go another bill to pay. So you evidently don’t understand.

That’s fair.

I don't think even the most hardcore Panthers fan has any trust of the process so far. Between the owner, the GM and the head coach, I think they are just basically fumbling around in the dark trying to figure it all out. 

What are your big knocks against the process so far?

I'm not a Hurney fan and don't understand the Burris contract but I think its too soon to say we are fumbling around in the dark. Especially with the poo show that has been NFL FA so far this year.

I also do not like how Tepper is handling the BoA stadium renovations in regards to the PSL owners.

Outside of those two issues I think its far far too soon to give up on the foreseeable future.

Maybe I don't understand. You are saying if we just cut Trai we eat 9.6M this year and get a comp pick next year?

I am looking at it as we got rid of a player/contract we didn't want and gained a serviceable vet stop gap LT for a year for not much more than we were paying a declining guard. Am I completely off base?

I hope Teddy balls out and refuses to give any footballs away to any fans and just hoards them in a pile each game like toilet paper.

I remember the last time we signed a two glove wearing cast off former 1st round pick. I'm sure this one on his 4th team in six seasons will be sooooooo much better.

This team is ran by retards

[Cpt slay a ho]

How is anyone hyped about this signing.....dude never eclipse over 15 tds in a season. I can only pray we continue to do shiesty Business and renege on this.

Pretty sure you're wrong on all accounts. 

[pantherclaw]

This move has been predicted for a long time. 

So all according to plan....

Ya know, the one that so many of you refuse to see. Lol

I don't think Teddy will keep us from getting a top 5 pick. Name 5 starting QB's that are worse than Teddy and 3 defenses worse than ours?

Trubisky, Dalton, Haskins, Mayfield, Mariota

off the top of my head....

I honestly would have preferred Jameis if only for the entertainment value and point potential. The ball sure as hell would have been flying downfield.
