1st and 3rd for Dwill

[Lumps]

Well it looks like that is what it'll cost other teams, but will this carry through with no CBA?

Once the CBA is done this won't matter.

[bleys]

well it's official, all those players (Moore, Rosario, etc) are actually on the team now..

[Panthro]

The tenders won't hold up to with Dwill. Maybe our younger players.

I would have given it to Johnson, who better have a first round tender.

The Carolina Panthers placed restricted free-agent tenders on 14 players on Wednesday, including running back DeAngelo Williams, defensive end Charles Johnson and quarterback Matt Moore.

Dwill might get us the first and third if a team wants a starter. If not, then he will sit and not get offers and maybe return.

[Delhommey]

95% sure most of those tags will be meaningless.

[MHS831]

I meant the highest tender. I was not clear.

I don't think anyone knows what any of this means yet. I can't imagine anyone giving us a 1st and 3rd for DWill. That seems like a very high price to pay.

For a damn good record-setting running back

I am a huge DW fan and I hope he retires as a Panther, but still you have to admit that a 1st and 3rd is a lot to give up for a running back given their risk of injury and longevity.

[Delhommey]

Backs are cheap and for good reason. It's been a long time since a team with a bellcow back has won a Super Bowl. It's nice to have, but not all that important to have a stud back outside of fantasy football.

If Hurney got a first and third for Dwill, he should have the stadium named after him.

I suppose its a lot but we are talking

He set:

NCAA record 7,573 career all-purpose yards and 34 100-yard rushing games

Since he was drafted in 06 (1st round):

Selected for the Pro Bowl

Panthers Record for most rushing yards in a season

Panthers record for most rushing touchdowns and total touchdowns in a season

To me, he is worth at least a 1st rounder, but I guess that's just me.
