Agent: Panther's Having a Firesale, Have Thrown Away 2010 Season

I’ve been talking to a lot of agents over the past few days and it’s hard to find one who has a client the Panthers seem interested in signing.

Take this for what it’s worth, but here’s one agent’s opinion of the Panthers: “They’re having a fire sale. They have thrown away the 2010 season and (owner Jerry) Richardson is going to be pushing for a lockout (after the 2010) season. They are going to be playing Big Lots football in 2010.”

Personally, I find it hard to believe Richardson will be “pushing” for a lockout since I don’t think that benefits anyone, players or owners. But I understand what he’s saying — that Richardson is trying to pinch the players’ union as much as possible by keeping salaries low.

I think it’s still too early in free agency to rush to any judgements. The Panthers normally don’t make big moves early on but wait until the initial wave of big spending cools down. So let’s be patient and see.

So releasing Jake, Diggs, Johnson, Lewis and Kemo and allowing Brayton and Muhammed to walk is a "fire sale"?

So far, the only impact player we've lost is Peppers. Jake was an impact player last year, but in the wrong way.

Like many teams, we're using this uncapped year to clear out these older, expensive guys out for younger promising talent.

Up to this point, I'd say the agent is spot on...

I'm really starting to worry that we'll be shipping DeAngelo out soon...

I disagree that right now it's a firesale.

Now, I am with you on the DeAngelo thing. When we start shipping out players under contract who are still productive on the field, then it's time to start worrying. I just don't think that is going to happen but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't worried about it.

So far, all I can say is they're getting rid of bad contracts and avoiding new bad ones.

Seriously thats exactly what I see to, face it Peppers wasn't going to play here for 8-10 million a season and he's not worth much more then that long term. People need to calm down, we weren't a big player in FA last year either and we would have done just fine without a turnover machine at QB the first 12 games.

      Todd Bowles is losing his locker room… Canales meanwhile

      I agree, I think he knows he’s gone I also think Baker’s shoulder is pretty messed up. He kept it on one play and practically took a knee before getting hit. Healthy Baker would never.  It was extremely frustrating watching them run all game long when it was pretty obvious they had to due to Baker’s shoulder

      If they had a good coach then the division wouldn't be close, especially with the Saints crawling out of the mess and already having a team Carolina can't beat.  The Panthers are 1 game above .500 so maybe just be happy for this mediocrity vs the last 6 years and not build it into something it's clearly not? And Bowles was always going to get fired. Im just surprised he came up with so many functional OCs for a defensive dinosaur HC.

      That's an insane take. Dude can barely throw 40 yards with his whole body - and he has a lot of body. Is he better technically and reading defenses? Of course he is. He's better than most of the league in that area. He picked up an offense in 2 weeks. Like mastered it. That's because he's already seen and done it all. It's just learning the new language at this point.
