Damn... wouldn't have minded having Clowney as part of the rotation for the young guys to pick up being a pro from.

They must be really excited about Nic and Princely.

He ain’t coming back. His attitude seems to be a problem, and one of the reasons why he has been operating on one year deals for so many teams.

When he signed his two year deal here, reporters asked him why he signed for 2 years here.  He said every deal is a 1 year deal

He’s one of a number of guys, all of whom are gone now, who haven’t given Evero’s defensive system a full ringing endorsement. 

I'm one of those guys too...

 

...except for the being gone part 😕

I dont think he was moving the needle either way but without knowing the details its a curious move.  And I wonder if there was any trade for draft comp on the table?

If there was a trade they would have taken it.

From the article:

Clowney was one of several transactions the Panthers made on Thursday. The club also placed Jonathon Brooks on the physically unable to perform list. The running back tore his ACL during Week 14 last season. By placing the second year back on PUP now, he will be out for the 2025 season. The move allows him time to get healthy after his second such tear in as many years.

Basketball to tight end convert Colin Granger was waived with an injury settlement. The club also made the following moves:

Waived (injured prior to 53) defensive tackle Popo Aumavae, released tight end Jordan Matthews, and waived receiver T.J. Luther, receiver Dax Milne, offensive lineman Andrew Raym and defensive tackle Jerrod Clark.

The roster currently sits at 62 players. The releases come ahead of rookie minicamp, the arrival of eight drafted rookies and a slew of undrafted rookie free agents who will all have to be signed.

 

 

Was hoping Raym would stick.

On one hand I would have liked to retain him because he still has value in a rotation and veteran expertise. On the other hand we've invested a very significant amount of resources in our new youth movement and we need to get them development. And at the end of the day despite Clowney being a local story as much as he is liked around these parts the reality is as an NFL talent he has bounced around the league a lot and there is a reason for that. Good luck to him.

100% agree

Why does this team hate Jordan Matthews so much after keeping Ian Thomas around for way too long?

As much hate as he got (mostly deserved), Ian Thomas was/is an above average blocker which is why is still in the league.

I like Jordan Matthews but I think he is just too much of a tweeter to be good at WR or TE.

That being said, he was a great veteran presence on the team. And I could definitely see him being brought back (yet again) if we need another TE.

I just want us to get better across the board. If the coaches think these are the right moves, I'm good with it.

      The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
