Look, the Panthers just wanted to be rid of Johnson.  That's just the way it is.  The NFL knew at worst, they'd have to wait until FA to get Johnson, if he wasn't cut before that.  For the Panthers, you had someone who has shown he's not a culture guy like a Hubbard or a Brown.  Instead he's just here to get a check.  That's fine, but because he quit on routes, one of those led to an INT in the last game he played.  May as well get something rather than nothing.

Is Morgan the best or worst GM ever?  Nope.  We've had one off season.  There's still a lot of work on the Panthers end to get better.  I just am not sure how much Diante was going to move the needle forward.  If the NFL was offering a 3rd or 4th for Diante, then we would have taken that.  I think everyone calling Morgan a dumb dumb over this are over reacting.  We're one of the worst teams in the NFL.  What makes our talent so appealing?  If you're having a "fire sale" then ALL your assets are depreciated.

Johnson becomes WR 3/4 in Baltimore.  If any team thought he was a WR1/2, then they would have traded for him.  He's a good player.  He's a great separator.  But is he your clutch WR in the last 2 minutes on a pivotal drive?  I don't think so.

Mike Kaye just called the trade "alarming"

 

When you lose the beat writers of Charlotte you know we are in trouble

When it came to the trade of Diontae Johnson, Mike told Kyle that this deal made it clear that Diontae Johnson was not staying past this year and you couldn’t get as much for him in part because it is essentially a rental Mike also noted that this deal sends the message that Carolina just wanted to get him out of the door.
 

He may have called it alarming but also stated what other people have said. We just wanted him out the door and took whatever offer we could get for a rental WR2.

Just wanting him out the door is a good way to lose any leverage, like he said whats the harm of waiting a couple more days.

It doesn’t really matter we weren’t getting close to what the Titans got for Hopkins so it’s not as big of a deal. I wish they ate more of his contract but it’s all about developing our young weapons now.

I wonder how happy y'all would have been if we had just cut him? Jesus, some of y'all are some pathetic muthafugas.

You new here? LOL, welcome to the typical Huddle since Tepper bought the team....Well...it's not too different from 18 years ago?  (God, how much time have I spent here???)

Yes, a lot of fans aren't going to be happy unless the Panthers do exactly what they think is right.  Others are just generally unhappy at the team and this is their vent space.  We have all variety's of unhappy here! =0

I think most of it comes from a good place: we want the Panthers to be successful.  It's more fun to cheer for a good team.  I get it.  We've also watched floundering ineptitude for years.  We all just have different and strong opinions on how to fix it.

I think most Panthers fans are just happy when the team wins. Fans are not happy because the Panthers organization continually makes bad decisions even a child playing madden can see are not helping the team win.

adam schfter is now saying the Ravens are in line for a 3rd compensatory pick if Johnson walks.  Which I guess makes sense and is the cherry on top for this poo trade

Part of it has to do with the Ravens who tend to let high priced FAs walk, acquire comp picks.  There's a formula having to do with money out and money in via Free Agency.  Usually, Baltimore leads in the comp pick game.

Now if Johnson had remained on the team for the rest of the season, let's just average it out (per game averages to this point + first half of season stats): 69 / 816 / 7 TD (I rounded up).  How much does an average WR 2 make who is 29 and has a history of melodrama?  Versus the rest of our FA needs.  I just don't think we'd end up with that 3rd round comp pick, but then again, I'm no NFL insider.

Now Johnson could go and light it up in Baltimore due to the sheer competency of the team, and earn a fatter payday in the off season to get them that 3rd round comp pick.  No way he was earning that in Carolina.

Looking over at our cap it doesnt appear we have much room to sign anyone as it stands now

      A look at the team after the draft and udfa signings...

      By KillerKat · Posted

      My projection. I think at WR its time to go with youth. This means Moore should be the odd man out. Horn can return both punts and kicks and Tremayne is a better WR than Moore. XL gets one more year to prove himself, although I could see a trade in the future which would mean Moore could stay. For OL, I would like us to bring back Brady if we can. The RBs, Trevor can return both punts and kicks too. With the uncertainty of Brooks and Dillon, its hard to choose either one. I think the team would like for Brooks to have a breakout season to clear any uncertainty that he deserves a spot. For now, I have them both even and on the team. DL looks solid as well as OLB. Watch out for the UDFA of Aaron Hall and Isaiah Smith at OLB. They look promising and could knock someone off the team. ILB is still the biggest weakness on the team. We need to upgrade that any means necessary. CB is strong and Im praying to all the Gods that Wheatley beats out Scott at FS.  OFFENSE: WR: Tetairoa McMillan - *Chris Brazzell II* - Brycen Tremayne TE: Tommy Tremble - James Mitchell LT: #Rasheed Walker# - *Monroe Freeling* LG: Damien Lewis C- #Luke Fortner# - *Sam Hecht* RG: Robert Hunt - #Saahdiq Charles# RT: Taylor Moton - #Stone Forsythe# TE: Ja`Tavion Sanders - Mitchell Evans WR: Xavier Legette - Jalen Coker - Jimmy Horn Jr. QB: Bryce Young - #Kenny Pickett# RB: Chuba Hubbard - Trevor Etienne - #AJ Dillon# - Jonathon Brooks DEFENSE: LE: Tershawn Wharton - Bobby Brown III  NT: *Lee Hunter* - Cam Jackson RE: Derrick Brown - LaBryan Ray LOLB: Nic Scourton - Patrick Jones II  LILB: Trevin Wallace - Bam Martin-Scott - *Jackson Kuwatch* RILB: #Devin Lloyd# - Claudin Cherrelus  ROLB: #Jaelen Phillips# - Princely Umanmielen LCB: Jaycee Horn - Akayleb Evans RCB: Mike Jackson - *Will Lee III* - Chau Smith-Wade SS: Tre`von Moehrig - Lathan Ransom FS:  Nick Scott - *Zakee Wheatley* - Demani Richardson  SPECIAL TEAMS: K/KO: Ryan Fitzgerald P/H: Sam Martin KR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. PR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. LS: J.J.

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      His contract is guaranteed.  Legette is just not where he needs to be mentally.  Not fully invested, it seems.

      Literally like Hill. He's not QB1 material (now or ever), but if we can turn him into a H-back and use him like  Swiss army knife, that's his ticket to make the roster.  H-back/emergency QB.  I wonder how good his hands are?  If they are at least above average by NFL standards then we can line him up in the backfield, in the slot, split out wide and of course, in the Wildcat.
