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.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
