posted in another thread, but I'd be pretty baffled if we didn't try to restructure him first. I'm betting the two sides couldn't reach an agreement. Damn't hopefully he tests free agency then re-signs with us

No, they aren't re-structuring. They wouldn't need to cut him to do that. He's gone. The Panthers are going to use the $3 million in cap space somewhere else.

wharton was a class act, willing to adjust his responsibilities as the team needed, and i believe a leader of the lockerroom. he was also not very good (or let's say inconsistent) his last couple of seasons. i think he'll be missed far more by his teammates than by fans.

So do we take him back on a cheaper contract or was he not interested in a paycut?

If by cheap extension you mean "pay cut," yes. RT @TheKurb: Think they offered a cheap extension and he turned it down ?

Thank you Kurb ;)

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      By OldhamA · Posted

      I think you have to factor in that we're still not an attractive proposition for Head Coaches. You're not getting the cream of the crop if you fire Canales a year after winning the NFC South, especially considering the situation he walked into.

      Yeah, I was about to say I hope he's doing okay health-wise because he's not looking good in that pic.

      Honestly, I dont  think he should be on the hot seat yet. A bad start to next year, then yes. Despite our mistakes on play calling this past season, we played better than anticipated overall. Bryce showed improvement and maturity (although still not nowhere close to our expectations). Better record and 2-15 to 5-12 to 8-9. Despite what we feel the stats dont lie we are improving by 3 wins a year. Could 11-6 be our expectation. That's a high bar but at the rate we are going, thats what its looking like. We all want to see a 5-12 to a 13-4 record but we are methodically moving up. Success doesnt happen overnight (well in most cases).  IMO we are struggling mostly on the defensive end. LB and edge are our biggest weakness. I see Bryce making improvements (even though I was a Bryce hater) next year. Biggest concern is LT on offense. How to fix this? We need a big name edge or to trade up and get a big name edge or LB and pick up one in FA and draft one. Also if in the 3rd we can pick up a TE. Dont know if Sanders is the answer or Tremble (even though I love Trembles blocking and power after the catch). If these two can get their footwork together they would be great. Maybe all they need is a better TE coach. And if Brooks can stay healthy and be the back we thought he could be, man that would be great
