Talked to a guy I know within the organization and he touched on a few topics. 

Said the Breeland injury was a shock and that he had a major infection and needed surgery. He said the kid would be out for quite awhile. He also said there was a rumor that even before the injury he planed to let the Redskins to match or offer more for his services al la New England. This would explain why he was upset. It more than likely kills any chance of him cashing in with the Redskins. 

He also said that we offered Oakland a 5th round pick for Crabtree but he wasn't really keen on moving to the east coast without a huge offer and Oakland was wanting a bit more to move him. 

Lastly he said that Samuel was far from recovered from his injury and probably will miss most of training camp and will likely be on Pup for the season opener.

Yeah, that makes 0 sense. If released they get no compensation and I’m pretty sure they’d take a 5th even if Crabtree would be upset about going East. 

That's what I'm saying. Nothing about that proposed scenario makes any sense at all from the Raiders perspective. Now, I could see the Panthers balking on their offer after finding out from Crabtree's representatives that he didn't want to be here.

Why would the Raiders care if Crabtree wanted to move east and why would they be wanting more than a 5th in a trade when they ended up getting nothing?

And the whole moving east thing makes no sense. He moved east for less per year than the deal he had with Raiders.

Samuel has bust written all over him. 

I'm not ready to call him a bust, but when a guy who is as raw as he is can never get any meaningful off-season work in, it's a lot harder for him to progress. I was really looking forward to seeing how he'd look after actually getting a full NFL off-season of work in but that's not going to happen.

      Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Everyone talks about the most important positions on a football team… backup LT is in the top 10.  Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair.

      it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
