Person suggested this today in the Observer.  I think he reads the Huddle for ideas. Still, I would rather see my reporters, especially the ones who scan Twitter for news, report facts or substantiate their suspicions with facts and sources.  Person's reason? 

1. Because Panther fans want the team to sign local players

2. Rice lives in South Carolina

THEREFORE:  The Panthers need to sign Rice.


Pure, unbridled journalism.

Person covered Rice during his time at South Carolina and therefore knows him professionally. There's a decent chance that if Person is writing it then he may have received indications of interest from Rice's side (off the record, of course).

That being said, I highly doubt Gettleman gives two craps about signing local players. But I see people posting all the time about how Nicks should want to be a Panther because he grew up in Charlotte. The same probably goes for Rice, who grew up in Gaffney.

QUESTION:  If players are released do teams still have to wait until March 11th to go after them?  I know March 11th is when FA begins, I'm not sure how waived players are classified since they were still under contract.  

If I remember correctly, NO.  Teams don't have to wait if they are released before the FA period starts.  As was the case with guys like Delmas from Detroit, as he's been visiting with other teams ever since.  They are free to sign elsewhere, but I get the feeling that most will wait until the actual FA period to really gauge market value.

I know I read an interview from Nicks that was given a couple of days before the SB where he specifically stated that, for all of the obvious reasons, he thought he would be a good fit for the Panthers. Rice may feel similar. & since both have won Rings w/ other teams they'd probably love to have a hand in helping their home team get win their first. Both injury concerns but Nicks has proven he can still be productive while hurt. Not so much in Rice's case, however, he would be cheaper.

Sidney Rice hasn't played a full season since 2012, and even before that in 2011 he was still fighting through a hip injury that plagued him when he was with the Vikings.In 2013,he tore his ACL,so, now he's a guy coming off of an ACL injury who is in the supposed prime of his career, but with no way of knowing if he'll ever be able to play through those years. Again, if he could stay healthy, and if this ACL injury hasn't ruined his talents, he'd be a nice second or third receiver on a team. I'd take a one year flyer on him, but that's probably it.

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
