It's a simple question though. Besides the ability to overpay like the other 31 teams have, what advantages do the Panthers have in signing potential free agents that most other teams don't have?

Panthro lives in Charlotte and we have a lot of trees.

Let the bidding begin.

I hope you realize that probably half the players who are on the front lines of these negotiations won't even be in the league in 3-4 years, and the players who will be replacing them probably won't care about, or even remember this one single episode that may or may not have happened exactly the way Feeley or "unnamed sources" said it did. People are getting all worked up over nothing, IMO.

Oh okay. so you'd trust two guys not in the biz right now with plenty of reason to talk (gets you a bigger audience the more noise you make) over a guy who not only is still close friends with many guys on this team but has a good reason to be unhappy with the owner?

meh.

The players know this is business and not personal.

You don't think Moose still has friends on the team? Is 2009 really that long ago? And anyway, he's always been a Mike Rucker/Mike Minter Panther PR guy. Almost like Charlie Dayton in terms of not saying negative things about the front office, much less Jerry Richardson himself. It was striking to hear him even have the slightest bit of criticism towards Richardson.

All players care about is at the end of their career they want to have as many championship rings as possible and they will play for anyone that they think can make that happen.

The don't pick teams based on whether or not Sunday dinner with the owner will be fun.

Some of you guys really are naive...

oh and cash....

They are some greedy muthers.

Seriously.

As long as Oakland continues to sign free agents with Al Davis as their owner, JR will have ZERO effect on any free agent's decision to sign here.

Pretty much this.

JR might be a dick, but all the players see (especially these days) are the $$$ signs.

If players used moral choices in where they went during free agency, the League is a very boring place.

When contract length and money are equal will our owners actions hurt us? If it does that means we will have to overpay.

Have you heard of a single Panther player, current or previous, say anything negative about Richardson? I cant think of any of them saying anything but positive things about him......ever.

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      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

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      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!
