C'mon Dwan. Quit being stubborn. You ain't gonna get another deal elsewhere. You had your best season in this system, so stick with it.

If we can retain Dwan, we can easily go WR (Keenan/Patterson/Tavon) at 14, and a big body in Jesse or Hankins at 44. Unless, Star end up faling to 14.

Sounds like a great strategy. Listen to this man.

Would it hurt to give the guy a 2-year deal? It's not like we're talking about a 5-year, $60m deal here or something. More than likely, a 2-year, $2.5-$3m dollar would get him to sign. I know we're cap-strapped, but it's not like that type of deal is crippling.

Every penny counts, that's how GM's should think. I like the way Gettleman is working right now: give players a fair deal, and stick with it. Don't pay the leverage, because sooner than you know all other agents try do the same thing.

Sign the 1y deal Dwan.

It's not really a fair deal for Dwan though, it's the exact same deal he played under last season and you get paid more then 1.5 million on a one year deal for the type of season he had here. He's wanting his pay raise now with some security.

In the current market? I can't see him getting a multiple year contract elsewhere. Maybe a small improved paycheck, but does it compensate the moving stress?

a no news update thread? I love the huddle

No news IS news in this case because it follows up on the stories that we were re-signing him. You opened this, and the title of the thread stated there was no movement. If it is not news to you, why open it and post something?

Would you want to know where we are with the Gross negotiations? I would, even if it said we were at an impasse.

This was simply a Panthers item that was posted in RotoWorld, who thought it had some value for those who wondered where we were with DE.

Having to explain this is what is typical of the Huddle. Just ignore the headline and do not open the post if you deem it unworthy.

Did he sign somewhere?

If not he is fuging stupid and should take the 2yr deal.

Gettleman could troll the poo out of him and say sure 750k for 2 years then ^_^

He offered him what he made last season and he diid not get younger. I still think he will sign. Extending what you said, I would give him a 2 year deal for $3 million, $1 million guaranteed.

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      Hard to say--they are very unpredictable--this article came out last night---after our comments:  (ESPN)   How has the NFL approached NCAA players with gambling violations in the past? David Purdum, sports betting reporter: Quarterback Hunter Dekkers and wide receiver Kayshon Boutte were found to have committed gambling violations while playing college football, and both were allowed to pursue NFL careers. Dekkers was the projected starting quarterback at Iowa State but was ruled ineligible ahead of the 2023 season after an investigation found he had bet on at least one game involving the Cyclones (among other wagers that violated NCAA bylaws). The bet was just $15 on Iowa State to beat Oklahoma State in a 2021 game in which he did not play, but it led to the end of his Division I career. He played one season at Iowa Western Community College in 2024 before signing with the Saints as an undrafted free agent, and he spent last season on the practice squad. Boutte was arrested in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in January 2024 on charges of underage betting while at LSU. The arrest came roughly eight months after he had been drafted in Round 6 by the Patriots, and the charges were ultimately dropped. According to police, Boutte placed more than 8,900 wagers from April 2022 to May 2023, including betting on at least 17 college football games -- at least six of which involved LSU during that span. The NFL did not discipline Boutte.

      He did himself more harm than good by engaging in this ridiculous legal battle. One it brought to light how much gambling he was actually doing and two it made him a very unlikable figure from a public perspective because he was challenging the perceived sanctity (lol) of college sports. Then to make things worse his lawyers convinced a very stupid and very gullible old boomer judge to agree with him. Now he’s a lightning rod entering the league and that’s not a good place to be.

      He went through the treatment program, fwiw if anything, and my focus is on his size, decision-making (on the field, not phone), and his arm strength.  But drafting a QB with an addiction that could get him Pete Rosed is not ideal.  I am not satisfied that the Panthers have (as Canales has stated to be important) addressed the QB spot with competition since Bryce has been here. Should Bryce not continue to improve or should he become injured, are we going with Pickett?  Pickett had 45 pass attempts with the Raiders last season and was sacked 8 times.  He has an NFL career where his interceptions are equal to his TDs.  He is not good.  H. King could emerge as the backup, if that tells you anything, but if we can pick a player with NFL starting potential (Sorsby would have been rated ahead of Ty Simpson (drafted #13 overall) in 2026 and he is rated #3 overall in the strong 2027 QB draft class, behind Manning and Moore--again, this would give Sorsby a first-round grade.  If I am Morgan, and I do not feel 100% confident that Bryce is the future, I might offer a second rounder for Sorsby.  I think he might go before that, frankly.   Some will say I am crazy, but to get a QB with Sorsby's talent in the 2027 draft, we may need to move up in round 1.  If Bryce steps up, you have a solid backup.  Regardless, I would sleep better.
