Terrible move, we have ZERO chance at resigning him now I'd say

Josh very much seems like the type of guy who will now play for any other team than the Panthers for less than whatever we would offer him.

If we offer him $10 million, he'll go to another team for $9,999,999

I don't see any way he plays another down for the Panthers, son of a.......

I love this. Dave Gettleman seems to not be able to go through an offseason without a huge ballsy release. 2014: Smitty, 2015: DeAngelo, 2016: Norman.  I love it. Hopefully JNo realizes he's not worth as much, and come to his senses and play with a team on their way to win a ring.

So instead of 2 or 3 players away we are 3 or 4 players away then.

We weren't ANY players away last season!  We were a couple fumbles, a missed field goal, and stupid ass play calling away.  Some of y'all overreact. We flat out dominated last season and had one sloppy game.  We didn't lose because we weren't talented enough.

Oh yeah....and we get KB back, remember?

Also, why now!?!?!

We could have used that money to sign some other FA's before, we could have gotten some really good players with that money.

At this point, you just needed to suck it up and have him play one more year under the tag, you know he would bring his best as he was playing for another big contract next summer.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      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.
