DNewton from ESPN thinks Panthers wants Godfrey back

[jarhead]

But not at 7.1 million. Says we could also use him in nickle packages.

[Jackofalltrades]

I'm fine keeping him, just not with his current contract.

[Porn Shop Clerk]

having a corner and safety on the field that can both play nickel at any given moment would be a delicious way to disguise blitzes

 

but godfrey.....ehhhhh.  esp not at his current contract

[MHS831]

Let's not assume he returns to his previous level of productivity.  Achilles injuries are nasty

[Lemory]

I dont know man. We could save a lot of money.

[TheNewStandard]

The list for players who have fully recovered from Achilles tears has to be short...especially at speed positions like DB. Not sure we can expect much out I Godfrey moving forward and that current pricetag is tough to swallow for a cap-strapped team.

I hope he recovers 100%, for a myriad or reasons, but that contract is no good, regardless of his recovery.

[Kuech the Sneak]

If he takes a pay cut then I'm sure hell be back but I know they hate that cap number

[thennek]

If I'm not mistaken, Beason tried to return from an Achilles injury and it took much longer than expected. 

[jarhead]

I do not think he will be here. Maybe waiting for medical clearance to avoid a  medical payout 

[Servant of Cthululelei]

Once again, we can thank Hurney for leaving us with this mess.  I like Godfrey (and DWill and JStew for that matter).  You can't fault the players for taking the huge contracts that Hurney was giving out like candy.  Hopefully they will either begin actually playing up to that value or take a pay cut for the good of the team.  The only other option is that they'll likely be cut sooner or later.

[TylerDurden]

Godfrey has never been good.  I just don't understand why we would bring him back regardless of his number.

 

If Smitty wasn't good enough to restructure and keep,  Godfrey sure as hell isn't, lol.

I thought he was decent, and would look just as good if not better than our average DB's from last season playing behind this front seven.

[Lemory]

We should just sign DJ Moore back as our nickel. Start Lester at FS.

[carolina-chuck]

Duh. I hope Gman isn't that stupid.

At this time, we need Godfrey. But, he really need to take a big pay cut.
