It’s only $900k for this season (base salary) and next year is $12m but not guaranteed. The acquiring team does not take on prorated bonus/money. 

Which we'd have been on the hook for anyway when we cut him after the season to save the $12M not-guaranteed. At least this way we get a little something back for him. I'm stoked.

If Hollywood Brown hadn't gotten injured yesterday we probably would have to just cut him. They had like 3 WR's left on the roster so had to get someone.

What does his hair and how he talks have to do with anything, though? 

We make fun of Baker's height, we made fun of Drew Brees and his mole, we made fun of Gettleman and his shorts, we make fun of Tom Brady's prissy looks, we made fun of Rhule's fat, we made fun of JR looking like a corpse, etc. Robby has a funny-looking haircut. PERIOD. It's perfectly reasonable to mock it.

Now, if you want to argue how Robbie speaks/types is a product of his upbringing fine. But you really need to back it up with proof. But we called Cam out on his inane font usage. Social media is fair game. Jesus, Gronkowski is dumber than a box of rocks and if he tweeted odd stuff it'd be perfectly fine to mock him for it. You're a public figure.

Mocking is not racism.

it's just a little suspect they're going after (1) his hair, which is locks and extremely black, and (2) his register of speech, which is unapologetically AAE and extremely black. it feels like they're using robbie sucking and being a jerk as a vehicle to bag on black culture

Dude.  And this will be my last post on this.

 

Between Robbies actions, interviews and twitter posts the dude is a fuging moron.  It has nothing to do with his dialect or register of speech.  Its crazy to try and tag the racism label to folks laughing at this dumb motherfuger.   He cannot string together 2 fuging sentences where he doesnt sound idiotic.  I get it, thats his shtick but being labeled a retard and being laughed at goes with that territory.   I mean is basic English that hard to learn?

Yeah mock him for dropping passing, whining about fans booing, not performing after getting paid, calling Sir Purr a bear. Plenty of material there. His hair and register of speech doesn’t really matter.

saying AAE speakers should learn basic english is racist, full stop. you just negated everything you said prior to this.

      The Evolution of the Panthers WR Room from 2023 to 2025

      I'm more impressed with the UDFA that the guys they have drafted in the first the last 2 years. A whole lot of prove it is still needed before any improvement should be talked about seriously.

      PANTHERS @ HURRICANES ROUND 3 GAME 1

      By PantherChris · Posted

      While I don't believe its a must win, (we have been better on the road this post season) it is definitely A NEED TO WIN the longer this series goes the more pronounced the Canes advantage on rest and health will be! If we hold serve at home in games 1 and 2 guaranteeing a 6 game minimum series for them if we lose the road games..... by the game 4 and 5 I expect them to be beat they have played A LOT OF HOCKEY the last three years, they have MINIMAL rest off a more physical than one might have expected series vs the leafs.... you know Tampa took their pound of flesh in round 1 from them. Combine all that with the fact that even though this year's canes squad isn't as talented as last years this IS a better squad than the one they swept last time that had McKenzie Mckeathern on line 1 Turbo with a broken hand a banged uo and eventually concussed Slavin (and even though it was a sweep 6 OTS and 4 1 goal losses is hardly dominant)  This year Bob hasn't been superman (hes probably gonna still have a great save percentage agiast us just a side effect of our style) Thatchuk is maybe 50% (3 game winners agiast us) their defense no longer has Gudas and several other downgrades.  While the Canes have a healthy and performing Svechnikov along with other big guys to counteract florida like Carrier, Jankowski, Robinson.   I by know means think it will happen but I either see this as a low scoring dog fight or a series were the canes surprise and end up dominating.
