No chance, we aren't the Buccaneers, we're not keeping 2 punters on our roster.  Palardy probably earned a roster spot somewhere, but Lee was beasting when healthy (by punting standards).

I kinda of agree. But we placed a 1st round tender om Lee for 540k. I think that they may some insurance for Lee and what better insurance than know insurance. Maybe we trade Parlardy instead of cutting him. If Lee gets hurt again, we may be able to sign a Parlardy.

Fair question that I'll entertain 

For twenty some odd years I've watched and rooted for this team. I've invested a lot of time and money. Quite frankly I get way too emotional over something I can't control but at this point I don't think that's changing (Z can confirm that).

Over this span there hasn't been many moves this organization has made that I've agreed with. At this point I'm just frustrated as they continue to make boneheaded moves year after year. It would be one thing if they had a couple of Lombardi's and more than a handful of winning seasons to show for these moves that I don't agree with but they don't. 

Its just simple things at this point such as signing a legit number 2 WR or hiring a real OC. I'm not asking much. It's even more frustrating these days now that we have such a good core of players including a franchise QB, our window is now. 

With all that said I'll continue to travel down multiple times a year since Z does a great job putting on these trips and making travelling for people like me easy as hell. I just prefer to watch a winning team when I travel, makes the blackout that much better.

 

That's actually a pretty fair critique. While I don't share that negativity, I find it difficult to find fault. Good fan.

Yes, you can restructure a contract without the player taking an actual pay cut....

But, a player can't take a pay cut without restructuring the contract.

Wrong. Contract is $10M with $5M guranteed over 4 years.  It's structured to pay $10M over 4 years specific way. Restructuring means moving money around 4 year period.  Aka...  changing the structure of $10M contract.  IF someone takes a pay cut, you no longer restructure contract but basically tear it up and sign a new deal because the original $10M contract over 4 years is no more.  

He basically tore his old agreement to shreds and signed a new 2 year deal with $7M guaranteed.  Panthers could of released him and saved $7M but instead they gave him $7M upfront.

And it was well worth it if you ask me. He is a really good Punter.
