We owe Crossman 6.5 MILL!!!

[Dpantherman]

from ProFootballTalk.com:

"...Crossman has a year left on his deal. But since he's not being back $6.5 million in 2010, the team apparently was willing to pay him not to work. Crossman has been with the Panthers since 2003, coach John Fox's second year on the job. The Panthers struggled this year on special teams, finishing 30th in kickoff coverage, 29th in punt coverage, 30th on kickoff returns, and 17th on punt returns."

Got DAMN! :eek:

We were paying him THAT much?!

[pantherfan81]

That can't be right...please tell me you're joking?

[Kettle]

and this has nothing to do with being fired? by that i mean was another thread really necessary? same subject(crossman) should mean it goes in the same thread. i can't believe how much of a cluster fug this place gets to be when Zod lets the offseason rule come into play.

No way is that accurate. Not even this dumbassed franchise is that stupid.

Although if this IS true, this should explode the constant theories people have had that people like Fox and Delhomme are going to be retained because of all the money they have due.

But seriously, no way is that number accurate. That's more than Fox makes I believe.

[Guild]

Jeez. That's as much as Fox. It can't be true... can it?

[Jbro]

I don't care if he is owed 100 mill since it has nothing to do with the salary cap.

[Fiz]

Maybe 650,000 but not 6.5 million

Paying the HC as much as the ST coordinator doesn't happen. That article is false, false, and more...false.

Um, guys, they're not saying Crossman is making $6.5 mil, they're saying since Crossman DOESN'T make that much, we were willing to fire him (the assumption being we aren't willing to fire Fox BECAUSE he makes $6.5 mil). I thought it was pretty obvious.

[Cat]

Not right. no way.

[AKPantherFan]

We owe Crossman 6.5 MILL!!!:

Wrong... JR owes him that much... I dont owe him crap- glad he is gone....

:hurray:

[UNCrules2187]

Guys. We do not owe $6.5 mil to Crossman. You are reading the article incorrectly.

[Rong Fo]

Um, guys, they're not saying Crossman is making $6.5 mil, they're saying since Crossman DOESN'T make that much, we were willing to fire him (the assumption being we aren't willing to fire Fox BECAUSE he makes $6.5 mil). I thought it was pretty obvious.

This.

Crossman has a year left on his deal. But since he's not being back $6.5 million in 2010, the team apparently was willing to pay him not to work.

Should read as:

Crossman has a year left on his deal. But since he's not being paid $6.5 million in 2010, the team apparently was willing to pay him not to work.

I read that earlier and had to double-take.
