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. 

Recently restructured his contract. He definitely sicks around. 

CJ will be playing in another uniform next year. We pick up a free agent on the cheap through gettlemagic and draft a DE in one of the early rounds (unless DeLaire has more upside than I see now) I haven't given up on Ealy yet, he continues to play well. His time will come.

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

As football fans our natural state of mind is pessimism

If we win the SB I see 5 players retiring. The list goes as this Harper,CJ,Davis,Allen, and Tillman. Dwan might retire as well. I dont think it will be that many but its very possible though.

You guys are crazy if you think TD is retiring after the SB.

this needs to be said again.

for me the players who would retire if we won the SB would be Tillman, Allen, Dwan, and MAYBE Harper.

[Clicheking]

He won't retire but he won't be staying here with his contract as presently constructed either. Gentleman will kindly let him know that he can either stay with a winning franchise for 2-3 an have a shot a some more hardware at a reasonable rate or he can go play in Cleveland.

[scpanther22]

why would he retire at 29 lol.

Injuries are a part of the game. Doesnt mean he'll be here next year but I would imagine at the least he would see what a offseason of rest will do for his health.

[UKPanther94]

Davis just signed a contract extension before the season, he'll probably retire at the end of that, only way it would be sooner is if another terrible injury struck

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.

NoooooooooooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! He's the anchor of the offense and one of the main reason Cam's having a great year. 

I see he's under contract for next year at a pretty healthy price tag so I'd assume he'll want to play. There's also a couple of voidable years tacked on to the back of the contract, thought I'm not sure how they would play out.

CJ isnt going to want to go. Either he will have a extension or pay cut. If he does get cut we will go through the draft. Addison, Horton, Delaire and Ealy will have the starting rotation (Not in exact order). That's a good rotation in the making from what Ive seen this year. We will most likely look in the draft for depth there. Tillman retires I see us taking the best CB on the board or move Bene to CB and use Teddy Williams or Lou Young in the slot. TD will be back. Harper will retire as well but Tre Boston takes his spot. In all actuality I see why people want CJ to go cause that frees up the money for Norman and Short. But CJ isnt going to want to leave.

And I don't want him to go. I just don' think that Gettleman will (or should) pay him what another team will. He definitely has some tread left on the tires, and someone will be willing to overpay him for that. i will never begrudge someone for getting paid.

[ncsfinest21]

i feel you. Aye you from Wilmington. I live in Jacksonville. What going on in Wilmington for the SB. Im debating on either going there or Charlotte.

[pantherclaw]

I'm  not convinced that he'd be gone either way.  Can't imagine wanting to retire from a team that is going to continue to be a playoff team. 

I believe Gettleman will offer CJ an extension before outright cutting him. Fact is, he is viewed as a core player.

[Servant of Cthululelei]

I'm more worried about Kalil, honestly.  His best friend on the team was Gross, who hung em up early.  He's also a big family man, and he's talked about how big a toll the NFL Season takes on his body before.  I just have this feeling that he surprises us with an unexpected retirement if we win.  I really hope I'm wrong, because I think this team could handle losing CJ a lot better than we could handle losing Kalil.
