this was prob done as a favor to the player.  it gives him an opportunity to sign with a potential playoff team.  no reason to hold a guy like that hostage.

Yes there is.  He no longer counts towards Compensatory Picks now that we released him.

The one FA signing that I was most disappointed in.

I never thought we would long for the halcyon days of Marty Hurney, but here we are.

Of all the issues with this team, the first is David Tepper.  But he ain't firing himself...

All I know is Scotty F better be out of Mint St come Jan. 8th...

Lol, dude ASKED TO BE CUT to get the fug up outta here.

It's sad when we sign FAs and a couple months later they are like" Can I be cut, PLEASE?!?!?!?!?"

He didn't have anywhere near enough snsps for that time matter.

There was a time the panthers were squeezing blood out of rocks for free agents and now it’s free agents squeezing blood out of the panthers and turning into rocks

....dippers puppet... prolly not going anywhere.... i mean, if dipper is as smart as he thinks he is....its a no brainer to get rid of fitt... looking at his body of work you can't retain this guy.  its just another phase of the organizational dysfunction...

I think those guys come in hungry, but once they realize this isn't a serious organization the vets just coast b/c why not?

We have certainly funded good retirements for a lot of NFL vets looking for one last easy payday the past few years...

It was dead money either way, and it's not yours. What do you care?

He came in supposedly hungry and underproduced.  Then hit his IR stint that was so long I forgot he was ever on the team.  ATP he just ring chasing, but go be great.

That's about all I got.   

Corbett, Horn, Ickey, Chuba, Bozeman, not holding poor play under Reich against them. 

You could also consider Morgan Fox, Iaonnidis, and also Perryman before Rhule ran him out over vaccines.

Scott has his faults, and the 2 and 12 highlights them, but there have been some solid moves as well.

Rhule overlap hurts.

Just another one of the many mistakes that have caused the Panthers to be the worst team in the current N.F.L..

We get 4Ms foe next year, relax people. Houston was coming off 9 sacks last season, slow start with no camp then went to IR.
