It would suck, but if the Bill's offer him a coaching job and we didnt then it's on us.

Yes, but 90% of the Huddle would still argue "well maybe he wasn't cut out for it," then once he balls out there just like most of the other Panthers-to-Bills, it'll be "well we should've signed him here"

He played for Panthers but doesn't owe us anything.  That said, it really hurts to see him in those colors and makes me wonder where things went wrong.  Why is he not attending Panthers camp like Smitty?  It just does seem to indicate like he really didn't get along with the new regime.

Ya he did not. And for good reason. The only reason he isn’t playing or coaching somewhere else is because of his contract. I’m surprised he’s actually allowed to wear another teams gear. Unless he contractually cut ties and I missed it.

He came by,  but I'm not sure if the staff let him on the field. Judging by this pic from Gantt, that's a no (also, note all the Panthers stuff he's not wearing).

He is retired.  He cant play anywhere, but he can coach wherever he wants

but would a NFL team still owing rights of a player prohibit them from employment as a non-player elsewhere?

We're in second year of the rebuild, did I miss something?  Let's wait until we see how this season goes

Tepper is ushering in this new era, which I said was trash. And he’s on what- year 4? 5? 
 

The staff, that’s a whole different argument. I have a feeling they’ll be turned over sooner than later as well.

I don’t don’t according to jfra it doesn’t but I thought in the contract and CBA there are stipulations so people can’t “spy” etc.

You know, I remember this one guy years ago that most NFL teams didn't think was good enough to play in the league.

There was this one team though, they took a chance on him. He took advantage of that opportunity and made a stellar career with them. Heck, he wound up being one of their most beloved players of all time.

But then one day, he just burned that whole bridge by leaving in free agency (to an expansion team, of all things).

What a disloyal jerk that guy was, huh? 😐

      The Carolina Huddle

      By ladypanther · Posted

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.

      He wasn't a JAG, he's been a starter every year of his career. Didn't turn into the superstar it seemed like he might his rookie year, but I think part of that has been being misused. Guy was/is a baller.
