This guy is ruthless but I love it. Another great hire but I can see those rumors about him being a little rough with people being true after viewing this clip.

Came of as a little bit of an ass with that comment, but I like it. If any of my front office guy are gonna be a little rough around the edges I want it to be my cap expert. Hurney would have tripled the offer

We wanted two for $4m, they wanted two for $7.5m, we got him for two for $6m. Sounds about right. 

I didn't think that was tough at all. I have negotiated harder buying a car. I wonder how that compares to Gettleman who had a reputation for tough negotiating.

Too tough ends up losing out on players you want. Like with Norman.

I was a used car manager for years and I agree 100%. This call reminded me of conversations I’d have negotiating with wholesalers buying a high mileage trades from us. That’s just typical sales lingo.

I thought contract negotiations were Rob Rogers job before he went to Washington and Samir was hired.

This looked a bit staged. The agent knew how he would compare to our pass catchers off the top of his head during an unexpected phone calll? Seemed like old friends having some fun.

They were in negotiations already it appears and the agent absolutely knows how he compares to teams showing interest. I was waiting for them to compare stats of TEs based on current salaries to production gained and use analytics. Given that is Teppers bend apparently.

idk I think it's entirely plausible that an agent would have his client's stats down cold while also having a good view of the free agency landscape and prospective teams. Arnold signed right in the first few days of free agency, so Burkhardt was probably on the phone about him multiple times a day.

I definitely have suspicions about some of the scenes in the main Panthers Confidential video being staged to some degree, however. but it's fine by me, because it made for a compelling bit of video storytelling that still had a ton of super rare access.

That whole situation was so dumb.  Rescinding the tag, then panicking and using 3 of your 5 picks in the draft on corners... then letting the only good player we got in that draft walk after his rookie deal.  Just a bumbling mess of buffoonery.

Yeah, I love seeing this stuff, but I have to wonder how that agent feels about this being shown and how it makes him look publicly?  

Wouldn’t be surprised if the agent signed off on this being released

Nah. Fitterer wasn't part of the call he was on.

Great clip. Suleiman is definitely no softie.

He told Suleiman 2 years at the start then flashed a 5 when discussing money later on the call, but he was blown off.

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      I wonder if they'd consider trading Rasheed Walker to a team that needs tackle help but missed out in the draft?

      LOL. This is such a Panthers fan take.  Anyone who falls to us must suck because some other team didn't take them before.  We got lucky with Lemon, Thieneman, and Freeling all falling to us (honestly any of the three is a A+) but the WR and S positions are much deeper than the LT position in this draft.  We got the LT w/ the most upside at 19.  Mauigoa played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the nfl.  Spano played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the NFL due to short arms.  Blake Miller played RT in college and is not as good as Freeling.  Proctor is a true LT but his ability to handle quick edge's worries me (see Icky).  Freeling is a true LT and a gifted pass protector.  Many think he has a very high ceiling and will benefit from not having to start right away.  This is how you build a franchise.

      After watching Cam get killed for years behind a bad Oline and having to watch the 2021 and 2023 Olines I will never complain about this team putting resources into that spot.  We got a true LT who could really push Rasheed Walker for the day 1 job. Go back and watch Iceky's draft profile from 2022 and all the talk was Ickey would be an all-pro guard in a zone blocking scheme, but he could play LT in a gap power run scheme. That's why Ickey looked really good when Wilks took over and we just started running gap run plays and just mauled people up front but under Canales we've been more of a zone running team. Ickey can survive at LT with his pass blocking but his true strength will always be his ability to just move guys in the run game and that's a skill set that's better used at guard.  Take another OT later on day 3 to learn from Moton to take over RT in a couple of years and let Walker and Freeling battle it out for the day 1 LT job then next offseason trade one of Hunt of Lewis and let Ickey move inside to guard.
