"It's a hard decision; it's one we took time on, but we decided not to put the franchise tag on (Peppers)." -- Marty Hurney

"What we have to do is deal with 53, 60-some players in mind to try to be as competitive as you can each year." -- #Panthers GM Marty Hurney

Hurney said ongoing CBA issues did "not really" play into the #Panthers' decision on Peppers.

"We had a lot of conversations last year and we got to a point where we each knew where we were." - Hurney, on negotiations w/ Peppers

Westbrook & LT are garbage now, Pep isn't.

Suck a dick you dumb fug hurney. What a bitch...

Payin him 16 mil last year and not getting any compensation for him is pure genius. At least keeping him this last year got us that super bowl ring!

fug hurney.

Wish a big name QB would be released.

Hurney: Decisions made on "how you can best put your team together to be as competitive as you can - not only in current year, but future."

"You never want to lose talented players, but you have to look at the big picture, and we have talented young players, as well." -- Hurney

didn't Hurney say on the radio sometime last year that "you don't let good (or great, can't remember which adjective) players walk out the door?

EDIT: JR is behind this, to state the obvious.

"We had a lot of conversations last year and we got to a point where we each knew where we were."

Then why try and keep him here and end up with no compensation?

This must be part of some genius plan...

Hurney is the messenger people.

Decisions like this come from the boss.

Well then maybe Jerry should address the situation.
