Why refuse to bring in outside help?

The team did it last year with the trade for Allen and eventually with DBs like Finnegan and McClain. Is it just the simple fact that the team is 1-5 and the front office won't admit it has already packed it in for the season?

The Bene move was one of the weirdest I have seen in a while. With all the injuries the only answer is to bring up Sanchez? I don't think there is any rational argument to be made here. None of it makes sense. D line help is very hard to come by but there has been plenty of DB talent the Panthers could have brought in but instead never really even showed interest.

I still feel Donte Whitner should have been signed before the season but instead Stevie Brown was signed only to be cut a few days later. Coleman should have never been moved to SS and a signing like Whitner, or hell even keeping Harper would have helped with this young inexperienced secondary. I get that Michael Griffin was brought in but he is and always has been a FS and that still puts Coleman out of place and he has been playing like poo this year because of it. I mean half of the long bombs that have been given up this season are due to the fact that the FS who should be providing help over the top is no where to be found.

Most of the players people have been asking for are now signed by other teams. Coty Sensabaugh, who most thought was a no brainer, is now a Giant. Whitner joined Norman on the Redskins. FFS the team hasn't even worked out a single corner worth a damn since injuries started piling up. Why not look into the health of guys like Keenan Lewis, Tarell Brown, hell even Dee Miliner. Really I am just begging for any fuging veteran corner.

In an ideal world I would have loved to see a backfield of LCB: Sensabaugh, SS: Whitner, FS: Coleman, RCB: Bradberry, and Bene at nickel or hell maybe have kept Boykin. This looks like a legit NFL defensive backfield and if it blows up and somehow sucks more that what we are fielding now which I don't think is possible at least we tried. Right now all we are doing is throwing more gas on a raging dumpster fire.

I just wish the front office showed they are at least trying to right the ship. It really sucks going into the bye week without any sense of direction or hope.

Would have loved to a couple weeks ago but it's too late to do anything now. Maybe we can sign a couple washed up vets but the worst thing we could do right now is giving up draft picks chasing a fantasy.

Exactly.  We just dropped 3 games to division opponents.  The best thing we can do is start our young talent and get game experience.  Players like Butler, Cash, Byrd, Worley, Bradberry, Sanchez, Daryl Williams, Shaq, Funch, etc.  Time to evaluate the young players and see what areas we need to improve in the off-season.

Either the front office are idiots or they're tanking on purpose, because we all saw this coming even before Josh was let go.

This last year was an anomaly and provided a false hope that the team had finally changed the way they've done business the last twenty years.

Cam is now feeling what panthers fans have felt for years, the FO doesn't care about winning just saving $

The Bene move reminds me of the Browns letting Andy Lee go for not trying to stop a return in preseason. Lol

I would have loved to get a 4th round pick for Bene. We traded what is now going to be one of the first few picks of the 4th round for a fuging 35 year old punter.

A few washed up FA vets will not save this $hit show, sorry to break it to you.   Any hope of that passed before training camp.   Bad luck, bad juju, father time and a bad gamble has bit this team all in one season.

So there's no need in piling on the insults and negativity up in this place.  I'm going to enjoy seeing who wants to be here next year besides Cam and Luke as the rest of this season plays out.  And that goes all the way up to the Don himself.

 

P.S.  I admit I get a bit of a chuckle out of the knee jerk crowd and I would laugh my ass off if that fat Bastard was trolling the Huddle this last signing.

      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.
