Richard Marshall is skipping camp...

As far as I know, Marshall or his agent have not said anything about being upset. I think this is just specualtion. The FO holds all the cards here because he can not sign with anyone else and holding out and demanding a sign and trade does not bode well for how other teams view his attitude. Remember, he is not an A list CB in the eyes of...well probably everyone except himself.

I like Marshall.

I don't understand why a lot of people have such a problem with cocky/arrogant/confident players. I love when they act like they're the best, because they usually bring that attitude onto the field.

People need to realize that the NFL is a business. As much as we'd love for everyone to have Delhommes "aw geez fellas, I'm so happy to be out here throwin the pigskin with my best buds.." attitude, but that's not how it works. Marshall wanted to get paid, so he's holding out of the (non required) MINI-CAMP.

He's still working out and keeping in shape. For all we know they could be negotiating a contract as week speak.

I hate off-season speculation..

    • Absolutely. He just turned 27 a few days ago, so quite young. He and Moehrig would be quite the pairing.  I know we say this every year, but this FA period has A LOT of talent that will be switching uniforms. We were aggressive last year and have no doubt this time next week will have some studs on defense.   
    • DJ Moore has always been a bit of an enigma. He came here young, flashed a ton of potential, but never truly grew into a real #1. He’s had a few good reasons, but yet to have a real monster season (outside of his first year with Chicago) We’re still waiting for him to blossom, but he will be 29 next season. I fear that it is too late for him at this point.
    • I have considered free agency.  LT?  Either not good enough or too expensive.  Besides, this is a good OT draft.  (I would rather have a free agent, mind you, but the Panthers' reality suggests we can't do it without neglecting other positions).  What LTs are available in free agency, and what do you expect to pay?  Any Ickey-level OT is going to cost over $20m.   How much do we already have invested in our OL?  I get your point, but I do not think you can spend over $100m per on your OL. We have 2 guards and a right T who pull in about $75m per season.  We don't have a center yet.  Teams just don't let good LTs hit free agency, and when one does on rare occasion, he is expensive.  If you want a third of the Panther cap going to 5 Offensive Linemen, free agency is the way to go.  We still need S, ILB, Edge, WR, etc. I think we'd need more than Nijman--and I would understand if we went free agent for a T--but that is putting a TON of your cap at OL--so considering our situation, I do not see that option as preferable.  You may disagree. If I was not talking LT on our line and thinking about the cap, I would agree 100%.
