The contract they gave him had to be restructured or extended. They pushed so much of the cap hit towards the end that it forces the hand of the front office in the last couple years.

Nobody gets a discount. It's rare but sometimes a ring chaser will give a discount. >90% of the time they go where the money is. That's free agency. That's why drafting is so critical.

I think it was one of the only ways they could be compliant with the cap by the deadline for 2024

Now we have room to cut Miles Sanders next year lol

That’s an interesting idea. Do other teams do that?

Last thing I’ll say because I’m not trying to throw virtual hands at the only other people that can tolerate Panthers fandom. i don’t think the deal we signed Moton to in 2020 was bad. But if we’re talking about extending a 30+ year old Moton in 2025? I’m triggered unless it’s really cheap.

Again I'm not saying he's a bad player. He's a good player. But you can't pay every good player like they're a great player. That's my point. That's it. I don't know why we have so much trouble as a fanbase accepting this reality. I hope it works out, but in my opinion you draft guys like Robert Hunt and you let teams like the Panthers give them 100 million dollar deals. You don't use those picks on what we've used them on. That's been our biggest problem forever. Paying the wrong guys at the wrong time. It goes back beyond Jake and double trouble.

Here's an example of an all pro season too.

You forgot one

I’m not saying he’s bad. But you can’t pay guys like him and Shaq and Chuba Hubbard and expect to win. They’re good players but they’re not cornerstones. It’s silly.

His play hasn’t been as good since 2020. He’s really not that great. Not bad but unremarkable. He’s not worth paying like a cornerstone m.

I’m just here to laugh at DJ Johnson being a starter. Please make me eat crow.

Hubbard will get a good amount of volume. Brooks may not see much action this year. Who knows.

Everyone hated it but it's kind of endearing now. They should have stuck with it imo. It sucks but if you play it for long enough people may grow to like it.

Is this the mandela effect? I had no idea. Probably because every time I see us play, we lose. And I'm old enough to remember this.

Closing arguments are now over for both the defense and the prosecution. The jury will return with a verdict on Sunday.

Put me in the minority that’s fine with letting Moton expire. He has not been the same player since 2020.

I ended up with some Panthers on my bench because somehow my league was even lower on the team than me.

Haven’t we been saying that for like 15 years now

I forgot Chase Young signed with the Saints.

Fitterer will never be a GM again

I don't really believe in home field advantage for us. Just Superdome disadvantage.
