What the Mike Mitchell signing says to the league

[Fox007]

If we continue to have no money and/or sign players to 1-year deals and letting them walk, yes.

 

 

Remind yourself why we have no money again....then proceed to think rationally for a thread or two....kthx.

That's pretty true lol. Hopefully Tillman heeds that advice and comes here, but instead of looking for money, just looking for some fun with our strong front.

who would you attribute this "we" from year to year?

It also shows that no matter how much they produce we will still refrain from paying them.

What does cutting Steve Smith say to the league?

 

We don't care how much you've done for us if we can save a million bucks. Thanks for nothing. Hit the road.

It's tough that rational thought process isn't it? (see my other post)

Mostly tells free agents that, regardless of production, the Panthers will ask you to play for nothing or tell you to fug off.

it's the cap that's saying.

lol...  right

As long as we have a monstrous front 7 we pretty much can put scrubs in the secondary and be ok. It's not ideal, but it works.

You think the league hasn't seen worse?

 

That same ole trip has been taken many times before the Panthers ever existed.

 

I'm pretty sure your second sentence there is a permanent notation on all NFL contracts right by the dotted line I assume.

I would have thought the free Bojangles was enough.

One year rentals will be the norm until we draft the players to fill these holes. Or...Gman has some money to play with. Either way, we are in this mode for a few more years.

Or it says that one very good defensive end is worth more than several solid players at other positions. Not sure if I agree, but I do think that is what Gettleman believes.

The reason our defense was good resulted from the front seven. The secondary is a plug and play unit. Doesn't matter who's there as long as they have some kind of playmaking ability (aka not Haruki Nakamura).

It says you can work your ass off but once you've outplayed your contract you will be tossed aside like yesterday's garbage.
