Do we cut Godfrey and let him test the market?

But we will complain when he leaves and say the season is lost.

 

No, we complain when a guy outplays him by a large margin and then we let him walk without even making an offer while Godfrey's sorry ass is still here making what Mitchell should have been.  That's when we complain.

If we cut Godfrey, I doubt we use his money to sign another safety. Also no telling how much Mitchell wanted. At the end of the day, no way he was going to stay with us considering what Steelers gave him.

I'm convinced Godfrey performs his assignments flawlessly from a coaching/evaluation standpoint.  If you think about it he really never does completely fug up, he's just unspectacular.

 

Still though his price tag is a bit too hefty, especially coming off an injury.  I'd think we'll see him take a flat pay cut, or get cut after the market dies down a bit and we compete to sign him back.

How much he wanted?  He signed for 5 mil per.  LOL.  That is a very reasonable price for a quality starting safety.  The impression I've got is that we never even made an offer.

 

Godfrey's cap # for 2014 is 7.1 mil. 

 

We supposedly cut Smitty for an identical cap number.  Mitchell signed for 5 mil.  There's no guarantee Godfrey will even be ready to suit up and blow coverages and miss tackles like he usually does come September.  And yet, we're going to pay him 7.1 mil next season?

 

Yup, strictly business for Gettlemahpantsuptomahtits.

I don't see how we can cut him now. Mitchell is gone and they are bringing in srucbs like Harper in.

I don't think there's a better safety we can bring in at this point.

Our best option is asking Godfrey to restructure or take a pay cut.

    • It's your right to refer to it as vague, but it still flouts the theory of "zero evidence" that Tepper is changing. Here's another: "Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales and general manager Dan Morgan are reportedly being given a larger leadership role within the organization. Panthers owner David Tepper 'has taken a more hands-off approach of late,' according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. 'He's trying to trust Canales and GM Dan Morgan to get it right, knowing that the roster requires patience in its current state,' Fowler wrote. 'We shall see if he holds to that.'" https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10146782-report-panthers-david-tepper-has-taken-a-more-hands-off-approach-to-team   ""David Tepper just wants to win and he's gonna supply everything that we need to win.. Things are changing around here and things are looking really positive" ~ Dan Morgan  https://x.com/PatMcAfeeShow/status/1917639137550627107?t=6vgo8yXTO6eD0Gb55hyzNg&s=19   From about 2:15-6:35, Julian Council, Locked on Panthers, gives his take on whether Tepper seems to be changing (and specifically referenced the war room in his analysis):    Dean Jones of Cat Crave on David Tepper in the war room. "He was an innocent bystander throughout a hugely important decision, placing full trust in Morgan and Tilis to make the right call." Jones also quoted Pat McAfee: "What I noticed though, at one point, they looked at (David) Tepper to get an answer, Tepper didn’t say sh*t. All anybody has said about Tepper is that he’s hands-on, hands-on, hands-on. Too handsy, too involved. He’s not letting the football people do their thing. We just watched in the biggest moment for their franchise, a top ten pick, he just sat there and let everybody do their jobs. I think if you’re a Panthers fan, you love everything you saw there." https://catcrave.com/silence-from-david-tepper-becomes-panthers-loudest-victory Granted, you're not getting a major headline here, but that's not going to happen anyway. Fowler isn't exactly a nobody, everybody knows McAfee, and you also have some locals that follow the team (including Dean Jones). Of course you have a right to believe that Tepper hasn't really changed, but to say there is no evidence that he just may be changing is not really true. It's just not. Hate the guy, but the way that he has handled this current regime is different than he handled previous teams, and his silence in the war room and publicly in general is different than years back.
    • Ehhh im not mad either way I don't think hes garbage but he was and is overpaid.... but he was a skating turnover machine.
    • My interpretation of his comments was somewhat different. And I took issue with his contract the day he signed. But it's all history now and doesn't matter in the big picture.
