Good on Dan.

He had pounded the table for Dane in Buffalo and then did the same to bring him here. Mike Jackson outplayed him, and Dan is cutting ties rather than holding on to a guy that was outperformed by other guys on the roster.

Best of luck to Dane. I'm sure he'll get picked up somewhere as depth at least. Worst case scenario, he'll make a practice squad.

This move will generate a dead money charge of $2.5MM but it will yield $3.35MM in savings for Carolina. The team was already mid-pack in the NFL in terms of spending power as free agency approaches, but additional funds will help Carolina’s efforts in improving a defense which ranked 23rd against the pass in 2024.

 

The Panthers hope to work out an extension with Horn this offseason, and keeping fellow starter Michael Jackson in the fold on a new pact is also a priority. Cornerback could be a position to watch with respect to at least one notable addition over the coming months, but in any case Dane Jackson will not be part of Carolina’s plans.

I also thought this was a solid signing but nice to see a pivot quickly rather than our usual hubris of "well we are smarter" and a double down.

I still believe Dan is an average or above average pro personnel guy. I just wish he had any clue in the draft.

I swear I seen somewhere he had a 1 million guarantee for this year cut or not.

 

They must believe in Chau Smith-Wade and making good progress on the Michael Jackson contract. 

 

I found it odd when Dan went fully seahag " We want long arms tall CBs " and then signed the BY of CBs. When you are hurt, the team finds out your true value..... most times everyone is replaceable with cheaper options..

      It's crazy with how much winning was going on when we had a little cool off period that we're still just a couple games out of 6th. Moussa is getting better every week and Coby is getting comfortable. Would be nice to get to 6 but I think this team is a lot more stacked than the last couple play ins. I can't remember the exact rules but if you're 7th seed and win the first game I think you automatically move on and don't have to play the second game?

      I think it was a thing for sure. Panthers weren’t too many people’s first choice. Or 5th choice.  2022 and 2023… coaches fired mid season. Consecutive years. You want any of that?  He has definitely overseen a rehab of how the Panthers are perceived. Because we are a place that is seen as up and coming. And just the little thing of he accommodated Theilen so graciously, that gets noticed. It all adds up. Dan is doing a lot of things right, probably most things.  Needs a good draft.

      K, I think that is dumb, but you do you. I didn't find anything online that made him out to be a dislikable person. I am certain the Panthers would have cared so much if they lost your fandom if they hired Sean Payton. But bet you would have come crawling back if Sean lead us to a Super Bowl victory or Golden leads UNC to a champion ship. It is easy to say you are gonna leave a team if the hire someone you dislike when the chips are down. But people like you tend to come crawling back once the team finds success.
