This. He would not have been IR'd unless they wanted him back.

What does that have anything to do with them keeping him? Maybe he said "the hell with playing for this sorry ass team" and said he wasn't playing another snap this year so they put him on IR so it wouldn't look so bad to the media......

Thomas Davis said the FO told him they would resign him. It sounds like DWill hasn't heard anything. At least Davis has talked with them at least about coming back.

Davis was in a totally different situation than DeAngelo when the FO had that conversation with him.

I guess but it seems weird that they "assured" him he would be a Panther and haven't assured D-Will anything.

Maybe D-Will doesn't want to be assured of being a Panther but instead wants to be assured a ring and thinks he has to go elsewhere to get it before his days are done. GB or Indy would be some stops.

I don't see Deangelo saying that (if only because it's a contract year), and I don't see Carolina IR-ing him if they weren't interested in his 100% health next year. Regardless of all the conspiracies flying around about aiming to lose, hard to believe they'd shut down one of their only offensive weapons, especially with Stewart struggling as he has, if they were just going to let him walk.

Mark my words, in my FIRST official post, D. Williams will remain a Panther next season! There's no way, with the shape this team is in, that they will let our best RB go. Yea, sure he doesn't have the YPC this year, but I chalk that up to the O line that we have this year due to injuries and dumb decisions. Athankya!

Besides having Fox and his staff coaching the team this season, the Panthers not signing their core players is the second biggest part of the whole CBA thing that pisses me off. Players like Williams and Kailil would have been signed and locked up by now like they have done for other playes in past recent years during the season. (ie Gamble)

I still think D'Will is going to be a panther next season and be resigned. If anything they will franchise tag him.

His agent Jimmy Sexton told Darin Gantt of the Charlotte Observer that there have been no meaningful contract negotiations between the two sides. That’s no surprise for anyone that has watched how the Panthers have conducted business of late

I certainly hope not. D Will is the best back on the roster, by far. And even tough he is hurt right now, he's the most dependable and rarely fumbles. Why get rid of him, it makes no sense.

If we somehow screw up re-signing D'lo, it would be beyond to stupidest move in our franchise's history. There's no way, no matter how stupid we think the FO is that we wouldn't re-sign him.

This organization will never rest on its laurels of stupid moves...it's wise to always expect something to out-do previous stupidity.

Serious question amidst all this - I understand the uncertainty around the future CBA and what that holds, but a player could be resigned today if both sides agreed, correct?

If this is true, does anyone feel there is potential risk by letting a superstar drift into the tantalizing world of free agency instead of locking up while still under contract? Regardless of the intentions today, nothing is set in stone on either side.

    • Valid, and throw in that what Wilson and Smith did is not out of the ordinary for a WCO 
    • Darnold was pretty bad until last year.  He implodes mentally, its just what he does.  To this day I dont have a problem with letting him walk.   Baker is a bit different.  He was an ass in Cleveland and they couldnt deal with his poo, but he at least had talent and went to the playoffs.  So you know he could play at least.  There were different stories coming out from the time he got here, competing with Sam and then the practice team release fiasco.  Both good and bad.  Some say he was a good teammate others say he bitched behind the scenes.   From what it appears his wife has worked with him and he calmed down and his play has reflected that.  Tampa loves him.  So if we were going to keep one it probably should have been him but man he was really bad for us.  But to his defense he didnt get the first team reps until late into camp.     In obvious hindsight we should have signed Baker cheap, drafted a dude and let the cards play out, but you know the rest of the story and now we are going to have to watch bryce for 2 more years 
    • Again his one year calling plays happened to be Baker's lowest YPA not counting his split year hear.  That tells me he was less aggressive with a QB who likes to be aggressive.  We have that and almost 2 full years of Bryce Ball here in Carolina.  He will take some deeps shots as most offenses have to in order to keep the defense honest.  Quick passes and hopeful YAC.  I'll give you one guess to which year Rachaad White had the most receptions as TB's RB?  Remember the first thing he wanted to do here is focus on how quickly he wanted to get the ball out.  That's part of his recipe to help QBs and help his OL.  Run the ball, quick passes to hopefully players in space, sprinkle in a little PA.   So yeah you can look at some coaches he learned under and speculate, but I am telling you what he literally is doing and has done as a play caller.  Offenses that were and are 100% his baby.
