The Boston Globe Thinks This Is Star's Last Year in Carolina

[Toker Smurf]

They obviously haven't been paying attention. 

"Lotulelei probably survives this year, but we’d be shocked if the Panthers keep him for a fifth season".

Didn't they just pick up his 5th year option?

[Jeremy Igo]

Nevermind. Just looks like the writer thinks KK and Star play the same position.

 

Genius.

They even point that out in the article. They must know that Gettleman hates hawg mollies.

Sign KK to long term and then see about extension with Star.  Maybe, maybe not.  Good not being in a "have to" situation.  But at least we got him for another couple

Zero percent chance star isn't here next year as long as he is healthy. The year after? 50/50

50/50? That seems really low to me. I would think he would be a top priority re-signing.

Makes no sense, Star eats up a double team while KK collapses the pocket.

thats like saying Norwell is in danger because Turner is ballin....

dumb article is dumb

[Icebox]

Given our draft, I wouldn't be opposed to trading him next offseason if Vernon shows promise and an ability to play Star's position. I don't think they decline the option, though.

Obviously Bellechik has put out the word that he wants Star.

Only explanation I can come up with.

I agree. What he does for this team doesn't show up in the stat line. He is a very valuable part of this team and Gman knows that.

[the butch]

don't see that happening.

Mm
