But we didnt get anything for him and we are taking a hard hit.  Just let him be a back up or hold him until another teams starter goes down

This would be true if his base salary was zero or very low. It's $17M. You'd be paying him $17M in new money that is $17M in cap space you'll never get back by keeping him on the roster this year.

Hell, I would've given up a 6th just to have him gone.

Yeah that doesnt make sense for a 6th.  Seems like we should have just kept him

We created a scenario where Teddy simply couldn't be on the roster IMO.   Panthers pretty much tossed him under the bus.  After that, they couldn't keep him around.

I honestly really hope he does well in Denver. Great guy. Just couldn't cut it on the field for us here. Still rooting for him to succeed, even coming back from his injury in the first place was awesome.

I hope he absolutely bombs in Denver.

fug that franchise.

By renegotiating the final two years of Bridgewater's deal, the Panthers will save $6 million in 2021 and $26 million in 2022, a source told ESPN's David Newton.

Tom Pelissero indicated that agreement on draft pick compensation was the easy part of the trade.

Working out how they were going to split the salary was what took time.

Thats an expensive lesson that I hope Tepper and RHule learned from.  Should have just kept quiet and kept him as a back up.  Darnold does get hurt a lot

6 million in cap, 6th round pick > Bridgewater

Not to mention he's basically off our hands next year.  $26 mil off the books 2022.  A Post-J1 cut would have still hit us 5 mil. 

The only better case scenario would've been a higher draft pick (or never signing him in the first place lol)

I'd rather watch PJ Walker lose a game than Teddy.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
