I don't think going public is very classy. Keep that poo in the millionaires realm. Mortals don't want to hear to that stuff.

As far as I know TD didn't talk to media about wanting more money.

This is what I don't get though and here's where my posts raise the blood pressure of @Hogmolliesmaht and his cronies:

The Huddle believes Gettleman deserves a long, long leash because he did great things for the team. But when players like Olsen want to be paid comparable to their production, because they did great things for the team and they speak out, it's either not classy or they're snakes.

You are missing the point. The player talking money to the media within a contract is my issue. You make a fug load, you are mid contract.. .Keep it within the realm of millionaires problems because people who pay to see you perform don't want to hear them complain. Do it in private. Discuss among players.

We'll never know whether he would have held out or not. Though I say him and/or his agent bluffed, JR then folded and canned DG ... Just my theory

Hurney magic? 

Olsen signed a 4 year 28 million dollar deal just over 2 years ago. The idea of him holding out is over blown me thinks. He's 32, let's see how his production goes this year. He's an extremely valuable commodity but he's got another 14 mill coming.

3/5/2015: Signed a four-year, $27.75 million contract. The deal included a $12 million signing bonus. Olsen is eligible for annual $250,000 workout bonuses in years two through four. 2017-2018: $6.5 million, 2019: Free Agent

LIve up to the damned contract you just signed.

Past history has shown that Gettleman vs Legendary Panther player always turns ugly. Hence his firing. Had to stop that poo before it got there 

You can't be this dense...

You can't be a real panthers fan hanging onto a guy no longer employed by the team. Y'all treat Gettleman like a god when he was meh

What good would discussing it amongst the players be? 

Also, he makes a "fug load" and is a millionaire, so uhh, he's not alllowed to say anything?

When owners and GM's follow said contract that players sign consistently, then it should be expected for players to live up to their contracts they signed. Until then, and with the possibility of them being cut at almost anytime, there should be no problem with them doing whatever needs to be done for them to earn as much as possible.

[TPanther920]

Good lord. When a players time is up its up. Cut him loose. The fact that they may have been the GOAT is not relevant for the upcoming season. When you no longer are worth what your boss is paying you or your BS becomes detrimental to the enterprise you too will be out of a job. Simple economics. Ever heard of Bill Belichick? "...a year early rather than a year late"

[SOJA]

likely because Hurney has already promised Olsen and TD the contracts they want. Panthers are just waiting for a news heavy day to soften the blow of fuging our cap

Ruthless.

"Honor your damn contract!" But..."cut him loose when his time is up!" 

Not knocking your opinion, but I understand why players do what they do. Ruthless, cutthroat business. Can't allow one side (FO/GM) to be ruthless. Gotta get what you can, and if said player has to be ruthless then it is what it is. I can see why Olsen went public, and no matter how un-"classy" it may seem, it's even less classy when Olsen is cut in the later years of his contract to make salary cap room or pave the way for a younger player. *shrugs*

I agree. Just don't complain in public about wanting to increase your pay for 2 years by more than most will ever see in their lives.
