Star was on the Panthers radio show tonight. He drew a big crowd and managed to sign for everyone. His wife, children, and brother were there as well. Star said he loves Charlotte, everyone has been polite to him and helped him adjust.

 

He said the biggest adjustment for him in the NFL has been learning to penetrate (giggity). In college he played with a wide stance and occupied blockers at the line of scrimmage. Here in Carolina he is expected to burst off the line and compress the pocket.

 

He said it's nice playing with guys like Hardy and CJ because they demand all the game planning from opponents which is a relief for him as a rookie. He says KK is tied to his hip. Whenever KK gets in trouble he gets yelled at (by coach Washington) and whenever he messes up KK gets yelled at too.

 

He says the rookies are a tight knit group and he's glad the team is winning to keep the veterans happy. He says when the Veterans are happy, everyone is happy.

 

They asked him about his wife and he said he just asked her to marry him, nothing fancy, he's not romantic.

 

He talked about all the stuff that came out at draft time, he spent a year out of football, started focusing on football when he became a family man. He doesn't party, just comes home and plays video games.

 

One of his favorite guys to learn from is Haloti Ngata.

 

He comes off as a nice guy. Pretty quiet. He was very polite to the fans, thanked everyone.

I can't think of anyone in the league right now I'd rather him learn from.

 

Thanks for posting!

      I probably would have become a casual Hornets fan if Cooper ended up there, but the NBA just solidified my apathy for its product. Hornets also got shafted when Lakers got cold feet on the Mark Williams trade. NBA is corrupt and that alien-headed Silver is the kingpin.

      Trevin Wallace - PFF Breakout Nominee

      Most analysts from what I've seen are projecting next year's cap as closer to $298M. We saw a $24M increase this season, $31M increase last season, and $16M prior to that. There's also the inevitable cap casualties... A'Shawn Robinson being cut saves the team $8.5M. Damien Lewis would save $9M. BB3, Jewell, PJ2 all would save $5M each. Tremble and Mike Jackson could save $4M each. It wouldn't surprise me to see the team make a few moves that end up giving them closer to $50M in cap space to start 2026. I'm less worried about next year's cap space due to the upcoming UFAs for the team: TMo, AT, Tuttle, Wonnum, Nijman, Mays, Corbett, BC, Dowdle, Rozeboom, Martin, Rhattigan, Jansen, Scott... the only FAs I'm seeing on Spotrac outside of TMo that are must keeps are ERFAs Coker + Demani (so long as TMo's knee is fine, of course). 2027 on the other hand is going to be the offseason for Bryce's bonus option with Icky being the most significant UFA. PJ2, A'Shawn, Josey, MJackson, Tremble, Dalton, DJ Johnson, Zavala, and Bartholomew are the only other current FAs then. I'm of the opinion that they are all in on next season and if it doesn't go well, it's being blown up and starting from scratch. They're currently estimated to have $130M in free cap space in 2027.
