Did the Panthers just retain Stephon Gilmore?

[Shocker]

I hope this happens as Gilmore is great in the community, still a top player and leader and most importantly he really wants to be here

People tend to read to much into these twitter comments.  For all we know, could just mean a new restaurant she likes opened.

When an organization treats their players like sh*t like the Pats do, guys don't want to stay.

What makes you all think Donte is going to get more money than Gilmore? He wanted to leave NE because of his contract. Gilmore is graded #1 right now on PFF at corner. Why would he take less of a contract than Donte? Also, we are basically back to square 1. I would think Gilmore, at his age would want to play for a win now team. I know Gilmore is much better and I would love/rather have him, but Donte may make more sense. Lastly, Donte may not want to come back either. We haven't exactly showed promise. I will be happy if we can extend one of these guys.

That would be an excellent move...

I hope we keep him here

Looks like Charlotte has retained his wife, no idea if he wants to come back to the Panthers yet.

Let’s hope we get a comp pick for Donte, but this sure makes it a WTF did we trade a potential top 5 3rd round pick to the Jags for Henderson? How many other teams would trade pick 69-70 for a backup? I mean besides us. I mean for us it makes sense like we extended Robby over DJ making the pick of Marshall over Creed Humphrey look stupid as poo and making resigning DJ hard because what poo ass passing team has two $15M+ WRs?

I am fine extending Gilmore for a reasonable amount but I am not a fan of Fitterer right now. We sure as poo had no real plan for a rebuild in place. We’re just throwing poo at the wall and hitting the carpet more than the wall.

Henderson for a 3rd isn't terrible, it's what we wasted for Sam that makes that hurt. He looks like he might could turn it around, I want to see what he does after last week. I am worried about being coached up, that doesn't look like the norm here now. 

I'm with you on Fritts, the Rhule made me do it defense is damning to me but some still think it is legit.

Having players like Gilmore may be crucial in attracting a good head coach since we don’t have much draft capital this year.

It honestly makes a difference. The Jags used that #1 draft pick to lure in Urban and it just led to their further downfall. I'd honestly argue that missing on Urban and Lawrence would have been better for that franchise. They'd have kept Minshew and not be a dumpster. Just wish we snagged him for peanuts and started building a legit team.

Why would he want to stay in Charlotte when the team is terrible…
