Charles Johnson Update...


Kurb

Recommended Posts

From @CarolinaGrowl Steve Reed, currently the best source of news we have.

Just spoke with DE Charles Johnson on the phone. Panthers GM Marty is in Miami trying to convince Johnson to re-sign with Carolina.

Johnson said Atlanta and Denver are also interested in signing him.

Charles Johnson said the Panthers have made him a very good offer, but he's weighing his options at this point and nothing is done.

DE Charles Johnson “(The Panthers) threw an offer out but I have to see what happens. We can’t do much until Friday.”

The fact that Marty Hurney flew to Miami to meet with Johnson gives you a pretty good idea that he's Carolina's top priority in free agency.

Pretty much what I thought.

It's between Panthers/Falcons/Donkeys

We are going to offer the most cash, Atlanta is going to talk like they are about to win the SuperBowl (they aren't). Fox is going to play the "I drafted you card" + $$

I would say we have as good a chance to keep him as to lose him.

No way, money still talks in the NFL, that is why it took so damn long to get a new CBA to begin with. If you throw enough money to CJ, then he will come back. Beside's, who wouldn't want to test the market, especially if it's the first time you have ever been considered a prestigious athlete in your life. Johnson will realize the Panthers are serious about winning right away after they lock up DeAngelo Williams, then CJ will follow suit.

    • I've actually been very complimentary of him.  I have said that I think he will get the bulk of receptions and yards. I have said I think he will be a 1k yard reciever thia year. He has issues tho and I guess no one is allowed to point them out.   
    • We don't have to lie, 4.8 was official and there were scouts who had him in the 4.54 to 4.57 range
    • Think the "official time" put out was 4.48, but there were a lot of scouts there who of course all had difference times as it's all handed timed by them.  Think I saw it as low as 4.43 and as high as 4.62 or something, but in the end it's all basically the same speed because 40 yard dash is so pointless. Anyone who complains about his speed is just someone who wants a Chase/Jefferson/Nabers style #1 as opposed to an Evans style #1 who isn't going to beat you because of his speed but his other abilities. In the end, he's fast enough for a player his size and surprisingly quicker and more agile than people give him credit for too. The real problem is that Panthers fans can't get our past big WR failures out of their head, they hear "big WR" and automatically see a plodding KB or Jarrett in their minds and assume that's also T-Mac.
