We win the SB, does C.J call it a night?

Some food for thought. Every players ultimate goal is to get the 'ring'. According to Jeremy, CJ has,been playing through pain all year (ever since that leg whip, there has been a decline). He is coming towards the age (in football years), where the body doesn't heal fast and skills start to fade. He is a rich man and seems to be a family man also. Having reached the ultimate goal, might he hang it up?

I believe Allen would probably retire if he gets his ring and hang out in the woods, do what he loves. D G would have to fill the void through the draft/FA. Opinions?

What would be left to achieve? Part of a 15-1 regular season and a SB ring is something that might night happen again for years (if ever). I have read that he is planning to open restaurants in Georgia, so he has a plan. Why not go out on a high note?

Because he still has a ton of money coming his way regardless, and there are teams desperate enough for a pass rush that someone will throw a contract his way.

I could easily see him on the Falcons next season.

He isnt leaving Carolina. Money may talk but players usually dont leave here til they are cut and have to leave. The last player that I recall leaving for a better contract was Julius Peppers. The brotherhood we have is too good. We are loyal to our players and players usually will restructure and want to have fun with this team then leave to go to cleveland and deal with the stress. He will restructure and play 2 more years and free up money for Norman and Short. Tolbert will sign another 1 year deal. This team is having too much fun right now. So much fun steve smith is posting pictures with him being a panther cause he misses it so much.

Maybe your'e talking last superstar, but Mitchell, Munnerlyn, and Ginn all left for more money (though Ginn came back). Not exactly a valid comparison though since Hurney overpaid players and they got better deals in Carolina than they would have received somewhere else. Give it another year or two, when the younger guys like Klein and Boston are making decisions to see what happens.

Better question would be what does TD do?

Thomas has given everything to this team, so much so that he's playing in the Super Bowl with a broken arm.

 

Based on all his charity work he's definitely got plans for retirement.

Walking off into the sunset if we win the Super Bowl means that he can have a post football life without anymore devastating injuries to deal with in old age.

TD will be here for another 2 years. He missed 3 years due to his ACL tears. You'll be surprised how not playing football has preserved him. He's 32 now.... he can still play... as long as he doesnt get injured.

Are we talking the night after the Super Bowl or Super Bowl night? There's a huge difference.

Worry about that bridge when we cross it

Yeah, was kinda thinking the same thing. Why think about the off-season, what are we, everybody but Denver?

I wouldnt say that it's a foregone conclusion that CJ is gone... 

But he's definitely not retiring. There's still money out there for him to make. And as long as any of those other 31 teams sees a value in him... He's not going anywhere.

It's a given that especially if we win, Allen and Tillman will retire.  Maybe Dwan Edwards, Roman Harper, and the biggest surprise retirement might even be Ryan Kalil.  This is a special year, and there's no question 2016 will be a much different Panthers team.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By strato · Posted

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
