Tolbert returning for two more years

[Bartin]

Kyle Love is now the only player of any real importance left to re-sign before free agency starts. Hopefully, Gettleman gets that one done by 4 PM as well.

If thats the case we should sit cam and start anderson too right?

Ass clown.

One fumble is forgivable, 2 out of 5 attempts though? Borderline unforgivable. We'll see. It's impossible to truly hate Mike Tolbert, but he might have had the most brutal Super Bowl of anyone on the team not on the offensive line.

Nice!!  The round mound of uptown!!

Person says the deal is around $2m per year

[UNCrules2187]

2-year, $4m deal is a bargain.

The #Panthers deal with Pro Bowler FB Mike Tolbert is a 2-year deal worth a max of $4M, source said.

 

Sounds like there are some incentives in the deal

We're doing good at retaining our own, very nice to bring back 8 guys from a 17-win team. 

With 4.5 hours left until free agency, the biggest fish left (in my opinion bigger than Tolbert, but maybe only figuratively) remains Kyle Love. Then MAYBE Nortman and Silatolu. We also have until 4 to sign any cut players (eg Coples) without them counting toward compensatory picks. 

I imagine we're moving on from the rest: Cotchery, Harper, Tillman, Finnegan, Velasco, Greene, and Alexander. Team's getting younger.

I guess I like this, but don't give him a single carry in Super Bowl 51.

Doesn't matter when they sign. If they were cut then they don't count toward compensatory picks.

I'd rather get younger than older at this position but he's a Panther again so let's go 35.

We need a better year in 2016.

Good guy to resign.  Part of the success of the team last year was the locker room, and Tolbert is extremely important in keeping that together.  There were a lot of "what-ifs" from the Super Bowl, if we'd been on the other side of two of them, we'd have won the game.

Keeping the group together is a good idea to maintain chemistry

[RealBitsOfPanther]

Keeping the band together. I like it.
