This whole situation is so FUBAR that it doesn't matter what anyone does at this point. Jerry Richardson has done some really dumb poo in the last 12 months. This statement doesn't even make it on the radar compared to his "management" of the team since the end of last year.

You know what John Fox should do? Go out there, and punt the ball every 1st down. (We're going to be punting 3 plays later anyway). Obviously he has to know he was done after Sundays game, but to do this 2 days before a game is pretty classless. This isn't college football where people switch teams in week 5 or whatever. I hope the players go out there and play their hearts out for this man. They always have, and I hope they do it one last time Sunday.

i'm sure this announcement just shattered his world

This could actually be a classy move by JR to Fox. By making this public, it gives Fox the ability to have discussions with other teams about possible openings earlier.

This.

It is possible Fox's agent even asked for this.

This announcement means that Fox is now able to be contacted by owners looking for a coach for next year already I believe - and there are quite a few, including one where Fox's name was linked until our season reached the depths of crappiness and theirs got a bit better with an interrim guy. ( Remember the Dallas columns profiling him as a possibility? I think other jobs are more likely, but there it is)

It is possible I don't understand the rules, but I think now the Panthers can not claim tampering or anything crazy if people contact Fox before his contract is up in Feb.

Ever think that JR did this BECAUSE he respects Fox??? Do you know what the first Monday after the regular season is called...Black Monday. They call it this bc this is usually when coaches get the axe. Maybe Richardson told Fox now so it wouldn't seem as if they "fired" him but rather they decided to go in a different direction. I think waiting until Monday when other coaches will be fired would have been worse. I don't think this was classless in any sense of the word!!!

      Smitty on TMac

      I think everyone says Mike Evans because of size, but really they have different strengths and play styles.  Tmac is better on intermediate routes and not nearly as good at contested catches.

      Give Legette another season?

      At this point, it is criminal to go into the 2026 training camp/OTA's with XL penciled in as a #2 WR. The team must upgrade, either through free agency or the draft. If he cannot give 100% effort on significantly less snaps as a #4-6 WR(players like Tremayne have done that consistently) then I don't think you have a player worth rostering beyond the trade deadline. Offensively, we eventually have to upgrade to an NFL starting caliber C. It's been almost the length of time from Gross to Ikey since Kalil retired and we have below average to terrible C play. Love Mays as a BC-esque utility backup but he will never be an above average long term starting C.  The TE room is one of the worst in the NFL but it's a low usage position in this offense, so the investments are likely to be small, if any. I would never expect to see an elite TE in a Dave Canales offense. 100% agree on OL depth. We actually aren't bad there but BC will be gone, Mays is a UFA, Corbett is a UFA and Zavala has been both injured and bad. We have to bolster that depth again or resign guys like Mays and Corbett to keep that depth somewhat stable.

      Maxx Crosby is not happy

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Bingo. The dude is a baller no doubt and I'd love to have him in a vacuum but like you said he's gonna fetch a haul so the only teams it really makes sense for are teams with an overall good roster who they feel an edge rusher like Crosby would out them over the top in terms of competing for SBs. I'd be looking st teams like the Pats, Bucs, Ravens, Seahawks, etc. It wouldn't be shocking to see him moved. He may be more valuable to a rebuilding team in the form of the draft assets he'd fetch than he is on the field. He should still have several more good years in the tank at 28 but by the time the Raiders can reasonably expect to rebuild he's gonna be on the decline.
