That was a Rhule decision

How many draft picks will we have to lose to get rid of him?

Said it then and I'll say it now....terrible move, it was one thing to trade for him by why double down and pick up the 2nd year option. It's fully guaranteed!!!

It's like buying a car with 200,000 miles and letting it be your only form of transportation.

Yeah, the trade hurts now because hindsight, but I still didn't mind the trade when it happened. We gave up some draft picks to try and find our franchise QB who was still young and we thought we could fix him. I'm ok with that.

What I DIDN'T like is (like you said) doubling down on him before he even took a snap for us. Why not wait and see what you have before making a commitment? Also, not drafting some protection for your new QB that you are trying to "fix" was also a red flag. This many terrible decisions is why we will be a bottom dweller team for a long time.

Same. I didn't mind the trade (I wanted to give up a 3rd not a 2nd). But we basically brought a girl with a sketchy history a 18 million dollar engagement ring with a no refund policy before we even went on a date with her

This is the kind of mistake bottom feeder organizations make.

And guess what the Panthers are? A bottom feeder organization.

This is just brutal all around.

No doubt about it. The future is not bright.

This regime has done everything ass-backwards

Can someone explain to me what Darnold’s cap hit would be if he was waived pre-June?

From my understanding we would absorb the full salary as dead cap so 18.8 million now or later either way.

How much free cap space would we have left?
