I don't know if someone has already posted this but This was the first time I have read it and I haven't saw this on here yet.

Yahoo has posted this article on the Panthers. I really hope this happens. I would love for us to keep these players next year and if what they say is true then we shouldn't have to worry about loosing any key players like my favorite Thomas Davis and DeAngelo Williams

“If I got a long-term deal to stay here I would sign it on the first day,” cornerback Richard Marshall(notes) said. “I don’t know what is going to happen but I would like to stay here because I feel like we’re going to get this team together and play good. I would like to be a part of that.”

Apparently the players believe that this year was a fluke and our Future is going to be bright. When players want to stay after a 2-13 season you know our front office is planning on having a big off season.

I thought recent news stated that Marshall wanted to stay. I think he has had a solid year and has improved since last year and he actually deserves to get a long term deal this year. I would love to have Peterson but why worry about drafting a unproven player when we already have a proven player that can get the job done. What would be really awesome is if we can resign every player and front load their contracts so we can have plenty of cap room in the future. Next year is going to be a rebuilding year, sure we can make the playoffs if we can get a good Qb but it will be 2-3 years before we can be dominate so why not offer long term deals paying them up front so we can get key free agents when we are winning and need it.

The players wanting to stay, doesn't say anything about the plans of the owner, and Hurney, as I'm sure outside of "winning a championship," the players don't know those plans.

What it does say, is how much respect they have for their fellow team mates, and this franchise as a whole. Which says a lot more than most fans do, especially on the franchise.

True but it shows our players have faith in our franchise.

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      Then don't tune in. It's really not a hard concept to understand, if your making your decision based on your own personal needs/feelings as opposed to what is best for the future of the franchise, then it's a you problem, not a Panthers problem. When the season is already lost, every fan should be rooting for the same thing.  The team plays hard until the final whistle of the season and keeps improving as a team and individually, but in the end, we still come up short and lose games, and preferably because the other team beat us, not because we screwed up and found a way to lose due to our own fault. Look at it this way... If we are up 1 or 2 points with 3 seconds left in the game and the other team is lining up for a FG.  Beyond the joy of victory or the disappointment of defeat, what impact does the other team making or missing the FG have on our team the following season? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING Except where we draft and what teams we play due to our finish in the division. The players and coaches on the team would have the exact same level of improvement and learnings about themselves individually and as a team whether the FG is made or missed.  The ONLY difference in the end is the record in the standings and if the win or loss number changes. If you want to argue if making the playoffs to lose in the first round or just missing them is better or worse, that's totally fair and I can at least understand the other side of it.  But in what is already a lost season, if you're not hoping your team plays well but ends up losing, then you're cutting off your nose to spite your face.  You're hoping for a moment of happiness at the detriment of the franchise's future, and in turn, you're basically then happy for a moment to only set yourself up for future further disappointment.

      If we’re eliminated I want the wins more.   The season is already a disappointment and if I’m not pulling for wins why bother to tune in?

      Two things terribly wrong with this post. First is that not one time has myself or anyone else agreeing with me said that the team themselves should think that way or try and lose for positioning.  Never once have I suggested the team should purposefully lose games, ever.  I honestly can't understand why people keep saying this in posts, not one fan has ever said the players should or would purposefully try to lose. And second, is yes, that has happened and it's happened very recently.  The 2020 Bengals were 4-11-1 and then were playing in the SB the very next season.   And while it might have been 2 years later and they didn't quite get to the SB, the 2021 Lions were 3-13-1 and then the 2023 Lions were up 24-7 at halftime of the NFC Championship game. The season between those two? They finished 9-8 and only just missed the playoffs. Which is why I keep trying to compare us to the Lions in where we are at in our re-build.  Throw out Bryce's rookie year with the Reich staff who just didn't work out and he looked god awful.   This past season when we were 5-12 in Canales' 1st season is that 2021 season for the Lions and their 1st season under Campbell.  This year is their 2022 where they grew a ton and Campbell's culture building was clear, where I'm saying we'd likely be better off in the long run if we go 8-9 or 9-8 and just miss out on the playoffs (which is still a significant improvement from last year).  Then our 2026 is their 2024 when we have a chance to be a real contender after adding a few more pieces and our key players having another year of experience under their belts.
