Wish they had the same energy when it came to letting him know if he was staying instead of leaving him in the dark until well into fa 

They wanted to see if they could get something in return once he was healed and out of a cast. They can’t tell him whether someone was going to trade for him or not.

If he was on the block, like he should have been, months ago, if they knew they had zero interest in retaining him. If you had no offers by the beginning of March he should have been released at the beginning of fa.

and if he wasn’t on the block until midway through fa that’s just utter incompetence

He was definitely on the block earlier with no interest, but they probably thought they’d be able to get offers when he’s up and about practicing and posting workout videos throwing a football vs. rolling around in a scooter or wheels with his leg in a cast...which wasn’t until pretty recently. And they probably didn’t predict his contact with other teams physically would be limited due to the virus, which certainly didn’t help the situation.

Furthermore, if they just said screw it we will just release him after putting him on IR while he’s still rolling around in a cast, I’m not sure about this, but they may have owed him more money to do that.

It’s as simple as speaking with a interested team and asking if/when cam is healthy would you still be interested in a trade, I also don’t know when he was on the block due to the double talk the Fo engaged in, they said he’s available but for a significant haul so maybe that scared teams off? Idk but either way you slice it, it was handled as poorly as possible

me personally,I don’t think he was seriously on the block until teddy agreed to come here, I think cam was just a backup plan in case teddy wasn’t available, if cam was notified prior to I also don’t think he goes in a interview and says he’ll be back.

I've followed the Panthers since the first Super Bowl run, and honestly believe that Cam put Carolina on the map. Life goes on and the business goes on, so I'm looking forward to when he can come back to be enshrined within the hall of honor.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.

      Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.
