All Panther fans that say we overpaid...

Please just shut up already I'm reading these threads and you sound like morons. We HAD to pay that much, what is our defense without Charles Johnson who's tempted by his hometown 12-4 franchise? You HAD to give him a huge deal...Beason deserves that money if not more, and frankly I'm not satisfied with just Stewart and Goodson... and btw Thomas Davis was getting 10+ tackles a game before he was hurt. You would be the same people complaining about JR not spending anything If Johnson, and Williams walked, and your the same people that bitch when its hot out, hate the fall, and complain when it's cold...Name me another last place franchise that kept their most talented free agent's and have them motivated?

The fact is that Hurney has only once had a good Panther player leave in FA because he got overbid. That was the bitch Julius Peppers. Hurney overpays his guys. Always has, always will.

If I'm correct we offered Pepper's a hefty deal, but he left because he didn't want to play here anymore...And your right losing Moose didn't hurt us at all...

According to Peppers, and you can look this up if you don't believe me, Peppers would have stayed in Carolina for $6 million more than Marty offered him.

LOL like Julius is the "victim" in all of this.

I would have rather overpaid Charles Johnson than give it to the still unproven Cam Newton. CJ has the potential to be a top 10 or maybe top 5 DE. Other than a franchise QB, it's tough to overpay a guy like that. Especially one who just turned 25 and is also stout against the run.

Maybe the Panthers overpaid for CJ right now, but as people have noted, we had to in order to make sure he didn't sign with the Falcons. And also, that deal will look a lot better in a couple of years when the salary cap balloons to $140M and other DE's deals will dwarf what CJ got.

    • Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.  
    • Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.
    • Totally possible imo, I also caught that snippet from Morgan where he said “If” we sign him. The lack of competition says otherwise tho 🤷‍♂️
