At the end of the day, I wish 'em luck. If they can find a market, good for them. I just hope they know what they're signing up for. Transitioning from being an everyman's fan club having some home bars scattered around the country and throwing some bashes is a helluva lot different game than trying to jump into the elite luxury experience. I honestly don't think you can pull off both, you gotta do one or the other. Neither group wants anything to do with the other. The former sounds fun. The latter... I think I'd rather slam my dick in a car door than hear some nepobaby whining about some poo that makes me want to throw him out the door of the private jet at 35k feet.

In terms of trying to book a private jet I wouldn't be surprised. One off is a lot different than regular bookings and if you can fill it up (which I'm sure they're banking on) it's a lot less per head

50% margin is damn good business. Neverending coolers of Natty Ice included! LOL

Honestly, I wouldn't. I went to the majority of Broncos games for years because I lived 45 minutes west of the stadium and my company had a suite there because they were a major NFL sponsor and they had a suite in every stadium and I was the only employee based in Colorado so sweet! Half the time I was going through security with John Elway (this was in the years just prior to him being named GM). But would I have flown from say Charlotte to Denver just for the experience? Definitely not but that's just me. I would happily let someone else take the trip.

Yeah, honestly for what it is the price isn't bad. Just not sure about it for the Panthers fanbase. Hard for me to imagine there's folks lining up to spend $10k for a Panthers away game experience.

You really think they're going to find enough folks in other markets wanting to see the Carolina Panthers in away games to fill up a private jet? C'mon man, you're just scrambling. They're targeting the Charlotte market.

A big part of the package is the chaffeured ride to a private jet flight. They're definitely targeting folks who live in Charlotte.

Demographics aside, why would you pay $10k to go to an away game if you're not even going to home games? That's doesn't make any sense.

I cannot imagine there's a huge market for $10k trips to see the Carolina Panthers. I mean, BOA looks half empty most games with half of the fans in attendance wearing opposing colors.

Better not be for much to take on $12M cap hit to trade for a guy that just felt the need to spend a top 10 pick to replace.

No rush. We should be fine with China and the newly drafted Etienne. Hopefully he can pull, a TD and ultimately overcome this.

We absolutely made the wrong choice there and I was one of the ones screaming that at the time. It's all about positional value. But Bradberry was never the fastest, twitchiest guy around and he'll be 32 when next season starts. He's probably lost a couple of steps with age and I don't think he's a guy who could afford to lose a couple of steps.

That's what Clowney is at this point and this guy is younger with the potential to further develop while Clowney achieved a very disappointing peak for his hype and #1 overall pick status and is on the decline.

I think that's the reason for this move. We have a lot of young talent and we're not expecting to compete for a SB next year so let's free up snaps for those young guys to speed up their development and build this thing up. Might as well not sit for the games and go ahead and free up those snaps on camp too. This is the type of approach many of us have been begging for from the Panthers for years. Stop trying to bandaid rosters together to try to be the best bad team you can be on the current and just focus on building a quality organization.

He got cut so that answers that question. If there was any offer on the table we would've taken it versus cutting him.

I expected this to ultimately happen but I'm surprised it happened prior to at least rookie mini camp. I figured we'd want to at least get eyes on our new rookies before making the move. I honestly expected it to waiting until final roster cuts.

You serious Clark? Stacked? We have a second year 4th rounder who showed some flashes as a rookie. A #2 who is primarily a blocker who has under 800 career receiving yards through four seasons, and now we've added a 5th round rookie to the mix. I mean, there's potential there. There's reason for cautious optimism. But stacked? Definitely far from stacked. I mean, let's be honest... how many starting TEs across the league wouldn't immediately be penciled in as the starter on this roster?

I mean, yeah... you could. But would it immediately get tossed out with you gaining nothing but mocking headlines in sports media? Yeah, that too.

Man, when the Steelers decide to cut bait you really do need to just clam up and not bite. LOL

Man, for a 24 year old WR with his talent to get traded for that the overall view of him around the league must have been that he was nuclear radioactive level toxic.

"Fan" suing NFL for $100 million over emotional distress caused by Shedeur Sanders' draft slide. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/fan-sues-nfl-for-100-million-over-shedeur-sanders-draft-slide-citing-emotional-distress-and-trauma/ Spoiler alert: it's Mel Kiper Jr. and he's going to use his ESPN's draft coverage as irrefutable proof of his devastating emotional distress. LOL

I just don't see how winning is possible this year. I mean, their penciled in starter is Mason Rudolph. I'd venture to say there's a decent chance they're trotting out a 6th round rookie at QB this season in Will Howard just to see what he can do out there before they feel forced to push all their chips to the middle in the draft next year.

I wonder if the Steelers are setting themselves up for a tank year to get a QB? Trading talented head case Pickens, rumors that TJ Watt is on the trading block, that dumpster fire of a QB room, etc. It sure doesn't look like they're trying to win next year.
