I just don't get why everyone is using this as a reflection on Hurney, pro or con.

There is no doubt in my mind that interest in Tolbert was driven by Chud and RR.

Don't like the signing? Then b!tch about Rivera or Chud...Hurney is just getting them what they asked for.

yeah, I am sure this has nothing to do with Hurney trying to lessen the blow when the Williams contract screws up Double Trouble after this year and they split.

Even though he's a bigger back, he's still fast and quick as hell. He's very much a scat back who excels at catching passes out of the backfield. 109 catches though 4 years and 54 of them were last season.

I was thinking if we are looking to trade Stewart, Cincinnati could be a team interested. They could give us #22 overall, they need a running back and they would have enough money to resign him.

they wouldn't give us the 22nd pick for him and Stewart would have to be willing to sign long term with them.

Before all you homers lose your minds, I know, too late. How many of you guys had ever heard of Tolbert before today? How many of you looked him up on youtube to get acquainted? How many remember all the highlights of the "human bowling ball" on sportscenter?

all I am saying is that we should not yell "championship" just because we picked up a big FA who has great measurables. He will be a role player here.

Just keep your emotions in check a bit. I hope he comes in and fills his role by helping convert on 4th downs, goal lines, etc. But I do not expect him to cover sportscenter every Sunday evening. Pittsburgh remember, is in dire need and they said no thanks. Hope he and Rivera can find a "sweet spot" so he can shine.

Contract details..

Here’s a little more evidence that the Carolina Panthers really are planning on using Mike Tolbert at fullback.

They’re paying him like a fullback, not a tailback. I just got full contract details on the deal Tolbert signed Monday and it’s pretty obvious he’s getting paid more like a fullback, who probably also will play some H-back, than a tailback.

Tolbert got a four-year deal worth $10 million. That’s an average of $2.5 million per year. That’s classic fullback money. I just looked back at fullback salaries from 2011. Only six fullbacks averaged more per season than Tolbert will average in this deal. Top tailbacks make much more than that and some backups are well over $2.5 million.

Here’s the breakdown on Tolbert’s deal. He got a $2 million signing bonus and will make $700,000 in base salary this year. He also can earn a $25,000 bonus for taking part in the team’s offseason workout program.

In 2013, Tolbert’s scheduled to receive a $1.5 million option bonus, a $1 million base salary and a $25,000 workout bonus. In 2014, his base salary rises to $2.3 million. In 2015, it rises to $2.4 million. Tolbert also has a $25,000 workout bonus in each of the final two seasons of the deal.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      Any idea what happened to him at LSU? im reading that he was considered a 1st round pick in 2023, had an off 2024 season with only 4 sacks but was also on a horrible FSU team then went to LSU where he was supposed to be on an aggressive defense that should have given him a lot of sacks but he only ended up with one….   was he injured? Did the top SEC competition expose him? What happened? Cause this guy was considered a top prospect .

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.
