Remember this?

Tuesday, Panthers coach Ron Rivera was asked if the team would be pursuing Steelers wide receiver Mike Wallace once free agency gets underway on March 12.

“You’re warm, but you know what’s going to be interesting is how things unfold once we get to March 12,” Rivera said. “There’s a lot of things that are out there that we have to really take into consideration. You know, we’ll see how things are going to affect us when we get to the 12th.”

I'm totally shocked we didn't sign the highest profile free agent of the year.

[Ja Rhule]

What free agent did we sign then?

[Mother Grabber]

wasn't the general concensus that he was going to be way too expensive for our cap to handle?

[Cyberjag]

Does anyone seriously think he was worth what the Dolphins paid for him?

We're going to do what we always do--sit back and let the other teams go nuts, then pick up some reasonably priced free agents who can contribute. They're looking for stars, we're just looking to fill holes.

Rivera was just trolling.

I don't see where he said anything definitive about signing free agents. What did you interpret his quote to mean other than "we'll see what happens"

[Ja Rhule]

No, I don't mean Wallace damnit. In general he made it sound like we're after some free agents but in reality we're looking for 3rd and 4th tiers. I just think its funny that he made it sound like we going to bring in top talent. I'm not complaining, I just think Rivera trolled just a bit.

Does that work when your hole is "the roster."

He made a typical HC comment by answering the question without answering the question

It's been less than 2 days.

$30M guaranteed. I don't give a fug how much cap space we had, Wallace ain't worth that.

When someone asks if u going to Red Lobster for dinner and you say "possibly" but u know u got money only for a dollar menu at McDonalds. Rivera was trolling.

[Mother Grabber]

You mean our entire roster is full of no talent scrubs? if we have absolutely zero talent on this team, then our coaching staff should be held up as massive football gods for as many wins as we got. The amount of poo that they get on this board, you'd think that our team was made up of nothing but all stars. Which is it? I'm so confused.
