I could see a surprise trade coming..


Recommended Posts

Wow has Jerry been wielding the axe the past 24 hours! Jake, Landon, Kemo, D.Lewis. Also Pep, Brayton, Moose, and Llyod are all gone as of now. That is a poo load of our starters from last year.

If we are starting over would it surprise anyone if there was a Surprise trade for example Smitty or Deangelo? Because i just get the feeling that something huge is about to go down...Smitty, while i love the guy to death, is over 30 now, and we could sell high on this one and get a nice draft pick for him. It just seems anythings possible with what i have just witnessed..

The fun part is we have to sign guys to replace all these players..

I don't think we are releasing mediocre/overpaid starters in order to trade guys that we need to win. We aren't "starting over" like the Lions or the Chiefs would start over. We are starting over by getting rid of guys that don't contribute enough for the amount they were due to get paid (Kemo was due a huge bonus and he just came off a torn achilles). These guys were not guys that we couldn't replace with guys on the roster already or with guys in the draft/FA. Steve, Deangelo, Stew, are all staying.

However, we might be clearing some cap space to sign a couple big name RFA like Marshall. He is a first round pick tender and I could see them trading the 2011 pick to get Marshall. Charles Grant and Aaron Kampman are also still out there as UFA that we could sign as depth for the DL.

they won't legimately be replaced until after this season.....when Fox is gone. Make no sense from JR's seat to cut all this fat....and then let a lame duck coach spend money. Rejects w/ one year deals is what we will see in Carolina.

If they make a trade, I think it would be Dwill or maybe Gross or Smitty.

Problem with trading Smith is that then what does Matt Moore have? Better sign Bryant and someone else to make up for it.

Whatever happens, the possible big trade would be to get into the First Round of draft and obviously rebuilding around Matt Moore and Meeks Defense. Or just trying to save alot of money till they know what new deal with Players will look like.

The only way ANY of those guys are going anywhere is if they are just legitimately pissed about Delhomme being let go. I don't see that for Gross or Deangelo. I could see Steve being emotional about it but he'll get over it when the team is better and he is back to catching 1100-1200 yards of balls from Moore.

If Carolina will be making ANY trades today, it will be aquiring a player for a draft pick. We won't be getting rid of any high profile players. My guess (if any trades go down) we will aquire someone like Boldin or Marshall to go along with Smitty, which might explain why we are creating so much cap room.. to sign one of these guys to a big deal.

    • Looking like it might be game 7 for Pitt and Phi. Philly is spent. I like more rest for the canes 
    • Moton is the man through and through. 2 things I'll always give Gettleman credit for, 1 is drafting Moton, the other is building a SB contending roster and blowing it up in one off-season 
    • Kurb is still alive and well.  I’m still friends with him on all of the social media.  He truly is a great man!  That’s my bro!  He always looked out for me since the early days of the huddle.  It definitely makes me sad that he just quit posting here, but that’s life.  He still shares his takes on social media and X, but a lot of the huddle vets just grew tired of this format and the environment, I guess?  It’s a lot of guys that were valuable contributors here that just stopped posting but are still alive and passionate Panthers fans.  Blindsite used to post huge write-ups and was a well-respected poster and then just disappeared.  We had one of these type threads several years ago and he checked back in and explained he just lost the motivation to stay active here.  It was amazing hearing from him again…   I signed up in 04 after coming over from the Charlotte.com boards and been here ever since.  (For those that don’t know - this is Proudiddy - had to change the name very recently due to ‘ol tootsie roll penis and the bad press 😂).  I’m forever thankful for all of you, even those who I haven’t had the greatest history with, I still appreciate yall.  Many have come and gone, both figuratively and literally, and that has put a lot into perspective over the years.  I went from a young, newly married, wide-eyed twenty year-old guy with a baby on the way, to a now forty-two year-old guy, recently divorced and newly re-married guy with my oldest baby now an adult and 5 more kids since.  And what ride it has been!  You guys have been a much bigger part of my life than I really care to acknowledge.😂
