Carolina Panthers employees have a “sense of optimism”...

Per PFT:

Barring any illegal contact, however, the Panthers are being rather lockout friendly to their employees. No layoffs or furloughs are planned and there’s a “sense of optimism” among employees things will remain business as usual until the Fall.

It goes on to say that one of the big reasons why Jerry slashed the team's payroll in 2010 was so that he could protect the front office/stadium employees this year. And that the new coaches didn't have the 'lockout clauses' that other teams have been implementing.

IMO this sounds a lot more like JR than the whole 'Jerry gave us a sh*tty product so he could line his own pockets with cash' theory.

well what did you expect, hire a brand new staff and then lay them off until september? I'm sure being paid throughout the lockout was part of their contracts.

It has been widely reported that almost every coach hired since 2008, excluding big names such as Carroll or Shanahan, have had clauses in their contracts allowing them to be laid off or have their pay cut by as much as 75% in the event of a lockout.

I didn't know we just hired all new front office personnel and stadium employees.

At this point the team has lost no revenue so why would they furlough or lockout employees. It is March. The whole premise is stupid. PSL invoices have not even gone out yet and many of these employees are needed for daily operations which continue since there will be football.

If as some folks believe, this will be resolved in a few weeks or even a month, keeping your employees working who you need for the season makes good business sense. If this lockout goes for several months then lets see how magnanimous Jerry and everyone else is at that point. Until that point, he is really not doing that much.

      Raiders interviewing Panthers DC Ejiro Evero for a second time next week

      He impressed Pittsburgh and Las Vegas both in first Interviews. I believe he has a better shot at the Pittsburgh job than the LV one.

      Well if he comes back, he's signed through 2030 along with Dave Canales. They matched up Evero's contract with Canales.    January 2030 for both.    Edited to add this, with all the reporting, people missed Dan saying they were aligning their contracts together to end at the same time. (Canales 6 year deal from 2024-2030.)

      I also look at his work there and match it up against the planned obsolescence that is part of the NFL as it sits now. Part of what creates parity here is that as a team ascends, the costs of its players go up, the position of its draft picks go down, it's great players age or get injured to often, their assistant coaches get poached for higher positions elsewhere. And even the best of managers can't hold that off forever.  Great managers can only play the shell game for so long, covering one hole in the team while another wears through, betting it all on a small cadre of veteran stars, sifting through the diamonds in the rough, hoping for something great. Sometimes they can do it smartly, sometimes they just break and give in to the wrong contract here or there in a desperate attempt to hang onto something. Sometimes the voodoo juju just runs out and they find themselves catching up to that can they've been kicking down the road and they end up in cap hell for a couple of seasons. And sometimes they're just the Jets. And the managers are also at the mercy of the whole coaching deal... great coaches eventually falter -- their schemes become old school, their locker rooms change. It just all wears out over time and that's good for the whole of the league.vReally, did we want the Patriots to have yet another decade of dominance?
