You know there wasn't a team here in carolina when he played for the saints right?  He was legitimately on the very first panthers team, then coached the team and gave the speech that has become our matra, I mean, I don't know how much more "panthers" he could be.

Most inspirational panther definitely.

Contributed so much to our team identity definitely.

1 of our 5 greatest "players"?   I don't see it. 

TD, Moose, Wesley Walls,  imo would go ahead of him as far as on field performance.

And it suggests that memories are not that good if we have 3 of the top 5 on the current roster.

Who would replace Peppers, Luke, or Cam though? You're talking about a guy who in Peppers is currently #4 on the all-time sack list and will probably retire as #3 and who got the bulk of those sacks in his 10 seasons as a Panther. Luke is a former DPOY and widely considered the best MLB in football. Cam is a former ROY and MVP and has carried the bulk of the load for our offense ever since he was drafted, both through the air and with his legs.

Peppers, Luke, Cam, and Smitty are the four locks. The only debate is who the 5th name on the list is and you could make an argument for a number of guys for that one.

Gross did more for us than Mills, as much as I love both.

Kasay should not be overlooked.

 Or it suggests that three of the best Panthers of all time are on our current roster.

Pep, Luke, and Cam will likely all be in the HoF.

And Kevin Greene, then it looks good. Tough to leave him off. I would add Reggie White to the honorable list.

I wish more fans would understand this especially the younger ones.

      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.
