CHARLOTTE, N.C. – A die hard Panthers fan recently stumbled upon some pretty valuable team information and property, and what he did with it may surprise people.

Matt Rowell, 26, dug around at a yard sale recently and found a Carolina Panthers Super Bowl playbook in bags headed for the trash.

Rowell immediately recognized the Super Bowl playbook from the writing saying “2004 Panthers-Patriots," along with other sensitive financial information from a list of star players.

Among the items he found at the yard sale was also lineman Kris Jenkins' size 16 cleats. He showed his friends the Super Bowl playbook before calling the Panthers so he could return the playbook and the financial documents.

"I enjoyed it for a week. I was like, you know what, this really belongs more to the fans than it does to me or for me selling it, because if I were to sell it on Craigslist or eBay or wherever, then that person may then sell it to the Falcons or to the Saints," Rowell said. "It's just stuff that you can't, as a die hard fan you just can't do that."

Matt did get to keep a few things, including the nameplate that adorned Jenkins’ locker at the 2004 Super Bowl. He also still has the Pro Bowl playbooks he found.

Rowell says he's already planning on a Panthers playoff trip in the upcoming season.

Well, it would be beneficial to a team in the AFC West. Fox still uses the same playbook.

Ahaha don't know if you were going for a laugh here but you got one.

I'm sure the playbook isn't that complicated. It's probably as follows:

1. Cover Page

2. Up the middle

3. Up the middle (flipped)

4. 3rd and long draw

5. Punt

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
