I love what G-man is saying, and I hope that his actions match his words. You'll have to excuse me if I missed it in one of these interview threads somewhere, but here is a quote from Gettleman via Bryan Strickland of Panthers.com:

 

"Last year we were quite a bit over, and we had to do some maneuvering just to get under for the first day of the league year. The progress for this year is that we don't have to do any of that, but that doesn't mean we're sitting here with $35 million," Gettleman said. "Every penny helps, but we're trying to get the thing under control. If it goes to 130, very frankly I don't know if we're going to spend to 130. We're going to be smart. If you're constantly up against the wall, you can't maneuver.

 

 

So Gettleman is not going to prescribe to Patrick Ewing's philosophy: "Sure we make a lot of money, but we spend a lot, too." 

 

 

G-man isn't gonna be loosey-goosey with the money, people, because putting yourself in the best fiscal position to sustain excellence is more than about thinking about what you see in front of you, but what's also off in the distance.

Good buddy of mine whom I work with [a few more years of experience than myself] make $200K/yr, wife makes $350K/yr, and they live in a $500K home whilst riving a 2004 Jeep and Acura.  Most people want to live in debt *cough*HURNEY*cough*, looks like G-Man is going the former route.  I.  FREAKING.  LOVE.  IT.

Maybe we rework the RB contracts by giving more to them this year with less for future or something.

 

Hope he can redo both.  Or maybe they do June 1 cuts and have more dead money that takes up the extra.  Who knows, sounds like he has a plan.

 

Will love to see what he can do in a couple of season when these bad deals are off the books

I agree with you.....those RB contracts are going to really be hard to deal with. I love Jstew and Dwill but RB's aren't that difficult to find. Hell, Tolbert was our best back last year and he's making peanuts compared to our two "big money" RBs. Hurney was foolish to dish out that kind of money to the RB position.

The extra money also could help the Panthers sign Cam to a long-term extension. He is  in the third year of his four-year rookie deal, is eligible to negotiate an extension under the new CBA. We also have to look ahead to signing Luke in the not to distance future. My belief is that Gman has a long range plan and is not just looking at the short term.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
