Dane Jackson released

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.

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.

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..

    • Yeah, when you draft a guy you have to understand and realize you're going to be giving him a contract commensurate with that draft position. It is what it is. If you don't want to do that for anyone on the board, trade down. Hell, pull a Vikings and sit on your ass and let the time run out and the next team up pick. LOL! But don't draft the guy and then think you're going to get away with some contract shenanigans. Hell, his agent can't allow it looking out for his own interests. If Stewart was willing to sign a deal wildly out of step with the norm on a bad way his agent would probably tell him he's got a walk. If I want to sign future 1st round draft prospects I can't be a part of this.
    • Yea, I don't know why they are insisting this new clause to be be included. (well its money, its always money). Just the issue, or one of the big issues, is no other team is doing it. They are trying to start a trend..... guess what the team picked right after and before stewart didn't not have this clause in the contract and they have already signed. They totally look like the bad guy in all this and like I posted before, their rep is awful among agents.  Mike Brown uses his daughter negotiate contracts cause she took law courses. Look it up, many say if she is doing that, she is the GM... I bet you can not guess who the GM is....... save you some time, there isn't one.... so maybe it is the daughter....
    • Eh, I can see where you're coming from, but at the same time, unless the new jerseys were just god awful ugly, how many people would just cancel their order at that point? Those people, like myself, bought it because they wanted T-Mac's jersey, not because they loved the current uniforms and just wanted one. But I kinda hope they do give us new uniforms next offseason, just like with Cam, so this version of T-Mac's jersey will always be his "rookie jersey" which would be pretty neat.  It was pretty well known at the time that we were getting new jersey's that next season so I waited to get my Cam until then and got an Authentic one, which is great, but I do still kinda regret not having a Cam rookie jersey in my collection.
