The decision to put D.Will on IR

Steve Reed brought this up in his blog last night:

–Speaking of RBs, I’m still trying to figure out why the Panthers put DeAngelo Williams and not Tyrell Sutton on injured reserve. Williams was supposedly going to miss “two or three weeks” and the Panthers needed a roster spot so they put him on injured reserve. Sutton has missed three weeks with an ankle sprain. No offense to Sutton, but if I’m going to wait three weeks for one of those two guys I’m waiting for Williams.

I assume they want to see what they have given outside of Williams, but I can't imagine D.Will would be pleased with being on the shelf for the rest of the year if he has the ability to keep playing, which could harm potential contract negotiations after the season, if there are any...

I could see this working both ways... As in we plan on letting him go, or we are keeping him as reasons to put him on IR. Hard to tell which one makes more sense right now.

I will say this, if DWill is pissed about the move, he's really good at hiding it, because I've seen him on the sidelines several times since being put on IR smiling, cheering guys on, and dapping guys up...

I don't know...

Yeah Im fine with resting D'lo. As far as him going somewhere else, I just cant see it. He is a model player and the best possible type of guy to have in the lockeroom. You just dont trade those guys.

Im still good with keeping all 3. Sign em all longterm as far as Im concerned. . . and get Goodson an eyepatch.

I've been on chat with him a few times over at doubletrouble3428.com and haven't seen any indication that he's pissed about the move...

He's not afraid to say what's on his mind during those chat sessions, so if he was pissed about the move I'd expect he would have let something slip that would have given some indication.

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      fuging Christ dude this isnt hard.  Like at all.  I get you simping for this poo team is your thing but sometimes you have to look at reality.   Even removing his bum knee from the equation, none of this made sense.  He is 31.  He has been paid handsomely for his service here.  He was currently under contract for this season.  Why in the holy fug did anything have to be done 2 weeks before the season started.   The people for this move, in this thread are saying A) He deserved it (this is the nfl it doesnt work like that  B) It frees up cap space (then why in the fug didnt we do this in Feb or C) You logic (We are getting a deal at 53 million guaranteed for the next 3 years.   You realize with this deal we cannot cut or trade his ass for 3 years.  You understand this right?   So in my opinion we should have let this ride into the offseason and go from there, what he is going to threaten to walk, big fuging deal he would be 32 on a chronically bad knee, what other moronic franchise is going to give him 40 million up front?  It wasnt going to happen.   And you are acting like its impossible to replace a 32 year old RT with a bum knee.  Just go and draft someone, move Icky to RT.  There are tons of options instead of extending this dude 2 weeks before the fuging season.  The truth is Morgan and the shitheads in the FO fell for this dudes crying act and got all sentimental and shelled out another ext.  We are a poverty ass franchise that doesnt act professionally

      Amazing what the prospect of being traded to Carolina will do for contract negotiations.

      5 Im glad football is back but after the embarrassment that was the browns pre season game where our starting D made Sanders look like a serviceable NFL QB, I lost hope again for a successful Panthers campaign this year.  I do hope I’m wrong!
