Vincent was just a stopgap, his days in the NFL are over.

Geoff Hangartner wanted a chance to start and that wasn't happening with Kalil around. Got a 10 mill contract to start in Buffalo.

Frank Omiyale, same story. Got a big contract to be a starter in Chicago.

yep

Vincent's injuries caught up with him...he was done.

Hangartner wanted to opportunity to start and that was not an immediate possibility at the time. This will be much like losing Connor after this season. He WILL leave for a starting MLB position.

Omiyale was a decent back-up and that is all. He was over-paid by Chicago and has not played up to starter level.

Typical knee jerk reaction by Panther fans who continue to over-value past players for this team.

We lets these guys all walk in the same 1-2 year period. I know it was cause we were grooming Otah, Kalil, and Gross to take over and such, but it appears since they are gone we went from having one of the most robust O-Lines to one with almost no depth.

Was is mostly money related why we let these guys be signed to other teams? Were there other factors?

That is a excellant question and I feel it has to do with the value the FO (Hurney)has placed on certain positions like the OL,safetycb,,DT and WR.We have had good guards and safteys that we just let go because the value other teams have on that position is greater than ours.Vincent and C Harris are good examples

Hurney may have issues but your logic for why you don't like him makes no sense. Vincent never recovered from his injury and his ability level deteriorated. If you remember we got him because he was coming off an injury. Harris was traded because he was too vocal and critical of the FO and they felt his coverage skills had eroded. It was also during the time when Richardson was dumping salary and the vets. Hurney does what he is told to do. He doesn't operate in a vacuum or make all the decisions.

Cut your All-Pro 11:39:06 AM when you have depth issues at OL.

This suggestions ranks up there with cutting Gamble.

Amazing

I meant in 2012, IF Gross continues to stink it up to free up cap room for better players/value and IF the Guaranteed portion of his contract is done?

Gross is over payed.

      Week 12: Other NFL Games

      Plus he was in the era in which Safety, LBs, and CBs could de-cleat WRs/TEs on crossing routes. He was beyond tough too. Plus those numbers his 4.66 40 time etc....... GameDay with 15 LBs of pads/clothes/tape, he was the fastest guy on the field. In fact I never recall at any point Rice being ran down or "hawked" from behind by any player. He was a gamer and clutch, just like lex Lugar the total package.

      Not all talent can be measured with a ruler and stopwatch. His hands, body control, and skills were ELITE.

      He did have talent, but if you look at his combine/workout numbers...they are not eye popping like many of the combine freaks are. All the best have talent, smarts, and work ethic. What he was able to do in his 40s, he holds all the records after 40. He had two 1k seasons at 39 and 40, no other WR has 1k after 36. He came back from a ACL tear within 9 months after he turned 35 years old. You know this is the era where ACl was a career derail-er and it took most mortal men took a full 12 months and they were never the same. Only two other players have made catches at that age (40) and neither one was a wide receiver. LOL at Tom being one of them....   I also read or heard, he would have still played if not for ST. He was going to play for the broncos in 2006, I think he would have been 44???, he earned a spot as the #4-6 but the numbers game of having WRs play ST ended his career. He could still get open and play, just no sense in having the GOAT run head first into a wedge on KO duties.....
