"Mike [Tolbert]'s signing has does not mean we're trying to trade DeAngelo [Williams] or Jonathan [stewart]," Panthers GM Marty Hurney said Monday, per Steve Reed of the Associated Press. "We're making no attempts to trade either one of them. We've made no calls and will make no calls. We view DeAngelo and Jonathan as very valuable members of our team."

I think this is a sign that they are committed to winning this year and not worrying about next year.

I think if you read between the lines of that quote Hurney is saying "We're not going to actively shop them but we'll listen to offers if you contact us, but you better offer a good deal or it's going to be a short conversation."

This.

I guarantee you that teams will inquire about Williams and Stewart......and I guarantee that the Panthers will listen to those offers.

For a good offer, I would not be surprised to see one moved.

Marty Hurney is a freaking moron so I wouldn't doubt that he would sign a guy like Tolbert under the assumption that he would have three starting-caliber running backs on the team.

I'm really hoping this is just PR-speak on the part of Marty Hurney. We need money for this defense and OL in the future if we are going to be a contender and he is out there throwing away cap room on a position that a lot of teams fill with 2nd-3rd round draft picks. Its unreal...

    • Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that. 
    • I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
