I Support Peppers' and Fox's Right to Do What They Want...

It's a free country, and they should be free to make whatever decision they want to in terms of their employment. Granted, their decisions will have financial ramifications one way or the other, and it may or may not be the right decision down the road.

As much as we as fans are predisposed and biased towards supporting the organization they work for, the Carolina Panthers, at the end of the day they are employees of the Carolina Panthers and the same rules should apply to them that apply to the rest of us working stiffs.

Case in point, today I found out yet again I would have to take a pay cut from my employer. This is after I endured a six month pay reduction, which was reinstated in October only to be taken away again.

I guess it is irrelevant I lead my company in sales for the year, I am suppossed to be a team player.

Well, F*** that. I outperformed my teammates, and I deserve to be treated differently in terms of compensation. And to be honest if I had a better situation I would leave tomorrow.

I love my teammates (colleagues) and don't even mind my coach (boss). But I have grown to hate the f***ing organization I work for and want out.

However, I want to be unemployed even less. So while my issues are certainly not equated to the same pay grade of Peppers or Fox, my basic issues with my employer may be similar to theirs.

As a fan, I will continue to pull for the Carolina Panthers regardless of what happens, but I do support Peppers and Fox's right to do what they want. I probably will hope they are unsuccessful in their future endeavors though.

Myself, I hope they both stay. But unfortunately, we don't get to make that call but we also don't know everything that goes on behind the scenes or every reason they might have for potentially wanting out.

Just food for thought and an outlet for me to bitch. Thank You

They have contractual cobligations that they OR THEIR LEGAL REPRESENTATIVES agreed to. Without those, I'm with you. But we're not without those.

      Jamaree Salyer would be an excellent signing. I hope we are looking at him.

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      By djp14 · Posted

      The Panthers are Pickett's 5th team in 5 years. Howell's next team will be his 5th. I don't think the league thinks that much of either of them. They're just warm bodies, at this point.

      10 players I wouldn't mind the Panthers signing that are still available:  - CB Nate Hobbs (Packers): Was just released this morning. Could be a very solid nickel upgrade for us.  - CB Kader Kohou (Dolphins): Solid slot corner who shouldn't break the bank and could be an upgrade over Chau Smith-Wade.  - OT Jamaree Salyer (Chargers): Had an underrated year with the Chargers (68.2 PFF pass block grade, 61.5 run block grade) and is still young enough (25) to continue developing.  - OT Jawaan Taylor (Chiefs): Depending on price, could be a good short-term option at LT while we figure things out long-term.  - WR Jauan Jennings (49ers): If we're going to add a FA receiver, I think Jennings makes a lot of sense but the price may be a bit too high for a slot receiver.  - WR John Metchie III (Jets): A cheaper option at slot receiver who has experience playing with Bryce at Alabama. Low risk/high reward type signing.  - WR Calvin Austin III (Steelers): Likely an "in between" option relative to Jennings and Metchie, but another solid option in the slot.  - LB Leo Chenal (Chiefs): I think we'll target another starting ILB in the draft, but we could also opt to pair Chenal with Devin Lloyd and check that need off the list early.  - OC Matt Hennessy (49ers): Could be a decent stop-gap starter at center and solid depth if nothing else.  - OC Andre James (Chargers): Was a backup last year for the Chargers (for some reason; he couldn't have been worse than what they had starting) but was solid for the Raiders the year before.
