Hangman officially leaves Buffalo.

Per WGR55 in Buffalo, he has left and headed home. Wow! This guy was a top target for Buffalo and I guess for some reason couldn't sign him. Hurney better get his agent on the phone pronto before he schedules more visits and see if we can get him back here.

I will say this, per buffalo's FA history...if a first day FA leaves, they dont' sign with the team. So apperantly something went south.

Maybe they didn't think he was good enough.

No, he was #2 from what I was told to be their new Center. Saturday was #1. What does it say when the new top target to start at center for you, after being a career backup, leaves.

Wow, things are much worse in Buffalo than people know apperantly. Oh well...maybe he will come back here.

I figure he is not going to commit to any one team unless he has explored his options. At 27 he is going to get one maybe 2 big paychecks. He needs to explore his options. I hope one of those is returning here if we will match the price. Of course starting is important. But so is winning. I wonder how much we want to keep him. We will find out shortly I suspect.

They are looking at Matt Birk.

Odd. Gantt is saying he never even made it :confused:

Hangartner hanging out

Panthers free agent Geoff Hangartner's trip to Buffalo hasn't gone as planned.

Mostly, because he hasn't gotten there yet.

Hangartner left from Austin, Tex., first thing this morning, and 12 hours later, was sitting in the airport in Chicago waiting for yet another connection attempt. He said he's already had two flights canceled, and isn't sure when or if he's getting there.

Once he arrives, expect the Bills to offer him a starting job and more money than the Panthers can match. Even if he doesn't sign there, it sounds like there are enough suitors to make his return here extremely unlikely.

    • I would heavily push back on the notion of Tomlin and Cowher inheriting "collapsed teams." From 1980 to 1991(prior to Cowher and after their Super Bowl victories) the Steelers experienced just 4 sub .500 seasons. In fact the winning percentage for those years was 0.505. At most that was relatively mediocre, something fairly akin to the pre-Tepper Panthers. From Cowher through Tomlin(1992 to Present) it has been the NFL's best franchise. 22 playoff appearances, 4 Super Bowl Appearances, 2 Titles, 15 times winning the division. In fact they have only experienced 3 sub .500 records in that 34 season span.  That isn't ever a scenario where rebuilding happens. It's constant and consistent retooling so that your franchise floor is always high. It's smart business decisions, exceptional drafting and quality personnel moves that create a situation where that floor STAYS high.  It was precisely BECAUSE we opted to go through a complete teardown and "rebuild" without any of that competence being in the organization at all that led us to where we are currently. A situation that will more than likely continue for well over a decade longer.  Long term successful franchises do not "rebuild." They are in a constant state of competent flux that sustains them through some leaner periods without ripping the foundation completely out that led to that success in the first place. 
    • Houston's OL sucks but Stroud has also definitely regressed. Similar story to Jayden Daniels in Washington. Both guys looked like future MVPs as rookies but sustaining success in the NFL at QB is hard. The more tape there is on you for opposing DCs to study the harder it gets.
    • So I was curious and remember seeing a tweet but here are Young’s numbers vs Strouds number since that time  Stroud since week 3 2025. Bryce since coming back off the bench and playing in Denver
