"As Expected"

Basically we added Tillman & Coleman .... who cancelled out Hardy and Bell.

Yes, it seems crazy to not get anything at all for Hardy.  But Coleman & Tillman played so well for us.  They were huge additions to our team in 2015.   No regrets.

NFL announces comp picks. None for Panthers. Oversimplifying here, but gain of Kurt Coleman more than balanced out loss of Greg Hardy.

 

 

And Voth...

The Panthers broke even.

Hardy and Titans offensive tackle Byron Bell counted as guys 'lost,' but Carolina 'gained' safety Kurt Coleman and cornerback Charles Tillman.

Was Coleman worth a potential third-round pick? Sure.

Was Tillman? That's debatable.

But without knowing Hardy's status with the league last spring, the Panthers couldn't just wait around and not address holes in their roster.

“Would I like to have three extra comp picks every year? Who wouldn’t?'" general manager Dave Gettleman told BBR last July. "But I don’t constantly sit there and say, ‘Oh, we can’t sign this guy because we’re not going to get a comp pick.’ I’m not going to let that stop me from building a roster."

Just got to post this IG pic of Tillman rocking Panthers swag on his way to a USO tour.  Just love me some Peanut Tillman.  Want this guy to stay a Panther somehow.

Give me Peanut becoming a Panther over a late draft comp pick any day over & over & over again.

If he'd take like a 1 year $750,000 contract and be ok with possibly not being active until late in the season I'd say bring him back.

Due to the timing of his injury, he is probably not going to be able to play until at least October so I was thinking we could just sign him and put him on the PUP list. He can be with the team until he's ready to play without taking up a roster spot until as late as week 14 and he could be playing as soon as week 7 if he was ready.

A player who finishes the preseason still on the PUP list can then be placed on the regular-season PUP list. Such players must sit out the first six weeks of the regular season. At that point, teams have a five-week window in which to allow the player to begin practicing; from the day the player begins practicing, teams have an additional 21-day window in which to decide whether to activate the player to the 53-man roster. If either of those deadlines pass, the player must remain on the PUP list for the remainder of the season

He would take up a spot on the 90 man roster until preseason but that's not a big deal. As a bonus while he is sitting out, he can act as a de facto coach which would be helpful since we are sure to bring in at least a couple young DBs. If he doesn't fully recover then he just goes on IR him. If he does recover then we've got a good CB that's fresh for the stretch run. If we decide what we have is better then we can just release him. The only downside is a very small cap hit and losing a spot on the offseason 90 man roster. This all assumes he still wants to play obviously. He may want to go ahead and start his media career.
