#Panthers coach Ron Rivera would welcome back DeAngelo Williams, but he knows that might not happen. Said team is open to trading Williams.

Shouldn't be much of a surprise to anyone.

[TylerDurden]

WTF?

Well, that sets a good tone with him for the rest of his time here.

Also, good luck finding a team to take on that salary in the meantime.

[AceMan]

Not a surprise. Will be sad and wish D-Will well

[The Golden Child]

No team is dumb enough to take on DeAngelo's huge contract.

[Panthro]

Lattimore....come out and plaaayyaaay

[Peppers90 NC]

minus the guaranteed money, which we would eat, his salary isn't too horrible for someone to pick up.

[Peppers90 NC]

No team is dumb enough to take on DeAngelo's huge contract.

he would take less than $5 mil from the cap for a team that traded for him, could use him as a 1 or 2 year rental then cut him before he makes close to $7 in 2015 with no penalties.

[Doyle]

Why wouldn't we be open to trading him?

[iamcline]

He'll probably go for a third.

[TheRed]

He'll probably go for a third.

HA. We wish.

Rivera deferred questions about whether #Panthers are taking trade offers for RB DeAngelo Williams to GM Dave Gettleman.

[CRA]

Trade, paycut or cut...

The only options, and in the prefered order.

[Harris Aballah]

Like to see us get a qaulity fullback and put tolbert behind stew.

[Panthro]

No one is going to trade for an overpaid 30 year old RB. We could pray that Chud would take him off our hands but I don't see that happening. Teams are just gonna wait for him to be released.

you know who chud has already, no
