Judging from Fitt's Comments, Reddick isn't coming back.

No, I heard all of it, but the "keeping the dialogue open" comment was just a throwaway.  The takeaway was they were letting him test the market first and basically if he got a great offer we weren't going to touch it.  Sounds like we have a set number we would bring him back at, and if he gets better than that on the market then we won't attempt to match.  

Say what ya want, literally nothing has changed from the moment he was attained last year. Was a 1 year lease for a player that doesn't fit very many defenses.  He predictably had another good year, and is going to test the market, to see his value. This doesn't always mean he's gone.

Who cares? You don’t pay him on the hope he can do great. You pay him the $1.5M a year he’s worth. If Arnold was worth $3M a year, that’s all Thomas was worth.

Thomas is likely getting paid closer to $3-4M a year. His guaranteed amount was reported to be $8M (or $2.7M on average over 3 years).

Reddick's on Twitter saying he didn't struggle against the run. 

I went back and watched a few highlights against teams that ran all over the defense. 

Just on my quick glances, Brian Burns is f*cking TERRIBLE against the run. But that's just my dumbass assessment. I saw his ass on the ground more than any other player on the defense. 

Washington specifically ran towards Brian Burns/Marquis Haynes's side. 

Cowboys just demolished the entire Panthers D-Line

Patriots schemed the defense into hell

Bucs bodied up every Panthers player and put them on the ground

It's just a tiny defense that can't win 1 on 1 matchups

It happens. He's a good player but this team has so many needs and some of the pieces we already have in place aren't guaranteed anything either. There are glaring distractions with this team though. To see players on social media going after anyone with a hint of criticism isn't a good sign for a franchise in the cellar of the division and one of the worst teams in the conference.

when you waste cap and throw money  at cam to appease fans, Anderson, Thomas, Erving, Elflein, Teddy B, Paradis, and sam Darnold along with paying your LB and RB almost 40m, …it will be a struggle to keep your 5 win team together

Reddick is a very solid player but not worth what some team will pay him based on back to back double digit sack seasons. Right call as much as it stinks to see him go. But while this is a good move as others have said the Ian Thomas deal is a massive joke and inconsistent with Fitts' reasoning with Reddick so I ultimately just don't know what to say about this front office

Keep going. 
 

 Boston-1 yr/9.5M

Weatherly-1 yr/8M

KK- a couple games/13M

Okung-6 games/13M

 These, and all the moves you listed, were defended non-stop by the same people wondering why the Panthers can’t sign any players worth a damn.

I'm not saying it isn't the right move to let him walk if his number is too high.  He does deserve to test the market and see what he can get, because although he is really great at what he does, he is very limited at a lot of other things...  thus, overpaying just isn't worth it.  I just like him as a player and it sucks that we can't retain him.

But, I agree, unless we're running a 3-4, it makes very little sense to retain him with Burns being younger and in all of our future plans.  We saw teams demolish us last year when both of them were in by just running the ball all over us and I'd much rather teams pass on us because at least you have a chance to get a pick or something...  getting ran into oblivion just sucks.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      You bring up a good point on the stability part and i would agree that probably will factor into it. But yes, Tepper does have a strong influence on who stays/goes but I still believe ultimately it'is Morgan, Tilis and Canales who will decide.

      I can always count on yout to put things so delicately lol. I'm still not sold on the fact that Tepper will make them keep him if they don't see him as a long term answer.

      holy poo... this thread inspired me to keep trying to guess passwords to various alts I've created over the years and I finally got in! I pretty much accepted my fate as a lurker for the last several months because I could not remember my password. I didn't realize that new users couldn't join either, that explains things. I have been around for years under several different monikers, through the good and bad. I too always find myself coming back here even with all of the new social media options for Panther fan engagement. It's simply nostalgic.   I do get extremely annoyed with the same 5-10 posters shitting on Bryce and complaining about everything. It's unfortunate that half of them are mods and that nobody new can join because now I pretty much just come on here and see Bryce / Panther slander. There is barely any positivity to be had. We all watch this team and hang on this forum for entertainment purposes only. We have no control or say in anything. I used to be such a crazy ass fan that would argue with strangers about Cam newton on the internet and at games. Now, as a father of 3, a business owner and someone with way gnarlier life problems - I like to watch football and talk about football as an escape. Not to bitch more. I really like the direction of the team and will root anyone in a Panthers jersey. I live down the street from the Rams practice facility, Matthew Stafford is currently coaching his daughters flag football team in the same program I coach my sons. I have two highly ranked Rams staff members sons on my team. The way we beat them and had them on the ropes in the playoffs has me feeling amazing, and you would think we have the next great thing in Bryce with the way they all speak of him. I'm gonna ride that high and be a delusional fan, I hope that huddle can stick around or get fixed and perhaps I will get back to posting more now that I can log in again. I will do my best to not get banned. Keep Pounding!
