You like Charlotte, you like your teammates...

[Brooklyn Bully]

you like some of the coaches, you the like fans, you like the stadium, etc.

Your contract is up at the end of the season.

Do you re-sign? Will big money keep you here, or do you want to go where you know you can win? It happens all the time.

I know Beason's contract is not up, but in an interview today about the team's play he said, "same old song and dance."

Pep left. Why WOULD anyone want to stay here? You can get brotherhood with your next team pretty quick I imagine.

Just a thinking out loud question. JR is playing with fire.

That's my biggest fear. Losing guys like Beason, D-Will, Stewart, Smith, etc. because we're more concerned with a lockout that probably won't happen (come on, these things happen in every sport every now and then, and they are always able to work something out in the last minute...).

JR needs to be careful. Do SOMETHING positive here. Show that you're as committed to NOW as you are to the FUTURE. Best way to do that? Grab a WR NOW that can step in and play at least average. We don't need a BIG time guy, just a guy who can play his role (we all know, that aint happening). And if not that, then start quietly searching for coaches, don't let it get out, and when you have a good HC and OC, fire Fox and Davidson. Shows the team that you're not happy with how the past couple years have played out and you want wins and you want them NOW.

Something has to be done. Just a matter of if it's too late or not when it does happen.

Nope, I wouldn't. You can get big money elsewhere, you get a team closer to a contender elsewhere, and you probably get better overall camaradarie if you're the one picking the team.

Plus, I'm operating under the assumption that our cheap ass front office will think we're eligible for the hometown discount with all of our players whose contracts are expiring... WRONG.

To be honest, I'd rather we sign some of the guys who could be up next year rather than go after a big name WR unless we can lock said WR in for years to come.

I would rather build on what we have, secure what we have, and improve next year in FA/Draft. I know, "same old song and dance," but I think this team has an incredible young core, and if we can lock these guys up long term, it won't take much to make us competitors for the long term imo.

Good question but redundant? You probably won't if something doesn't change or looks to change.
