No one is gonna play for peanuts

 

For a guy that has spent a good chunk of his career on crummy teams you'd think he'd jump at the chance to play for a team that has won back to back division titles and is the easy favorite to win it again.

What happen to this? Any update? I'm ready to let him do his own thing.... either you want to be here or not...someone offers you a starting spot on a dominate defense what do you do? leave?????

It's not uncommon for this to happen at all.  Money talks.

lol really he's coming a team that is going no where, and he had a season ending injury last year, honest we are the ones taking the chance ........ he can go I rather draft someone cheaper that will work harder.

Just because you don't like it, doesn't make it any less true.  He's the one that has to look out for himself, and his family.  I'd shop around to.  I'd like for him to come here and have a shot, but if not... oh well.

this isn't about money he wants a long term deal....

It most certainly is about money.  Long term deal, or not, money is one of the top priorities.  A player may be willing to take a little less to play with a better team, but the difference won't be huge.

So you don't think 2 mil for is considering the vet min is like 800,000...I'm just saying if money was the issue then he would have already went to the highest bidder.......

All I'm telling you is that he is shopping around.  Whether is one other team, or five, I don't know.  Money is a huge factor in it.  You can't say it isn't about the money, because it almost always is.  Other things factor in, but that's the biggest.  All players do this, from the stars, to those we consider "nobodies."  Nothing out of the ordinary going on here.  Just like last year, people left without contracts, and then ended up with the team a little later.

      Trading Down Could be a Gold Mine in This Draft!!

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      I do not yet trust our people to be savvy enough to pull off a trade that doesn’t screw us in the first and/or second round. With things looking like they might be coming together, they absolutely HAVE TO hit on a stud in round 1 and hopefully 2…  and hopefully hopefully unearth a diamond in later rounds. If they are to create a window, this draft has to go gang busters. This coming season looks promising, however, they have to go in to the 2026 season as the clear favorite to win the South.  ‘Windows’ happen for traditionally bad teams with the culmination of 2-3 really good drafts IN A ROW, snagging a good head coach and a few key free agent acquisitions. Busting on first and second rounds will destroy the chance of this occuring. Cokers don’t come around very frequently and haven’t even drafted.  There are contracts coming up in the next 2-3 years at the most expensive positions on the entire team. Bryce and Ickey. I know, not for a while, but good franchises have a long lens. If it comes to crunch time and Ickey hasn’t evolved in his pass blocking, do they drop mega $$ in his lap? Have they groomed someone that can step up? Do they happen in to a franchise LT and put press On Ickey to step his game up or he becomes trade bait?  In closing, at 8, screw need. No trade. Pick the guy who has future all pro dna.

      David Tepper tied for 7th richest sports team owner in the world.

      By countryboi · Posted

      Owning a sports team is now a billionaire’s toy now. The days of Michael Jordan or a Jeanie Buss owning teams are long gone.   I remember when people thought Diddy could afford to buy the Panthers, he would have had to sell everything he owned just to cover the $750 million needed to own only 30% of the team.

      As of today, who would you draft at number 8?

      By Camp Fodder · Posted

      Walker, Graham, Warren or trade back. There is a very good chance 2 of these 3 are gone by the time we pick  Trading back or trade back and then back up and getting Williams and Golden would be fantastic
