Jourdan Rodrigue does not believe we are getting rid of Tory Smith

He could have had a bad year because Cam lost the deep ball....

I do not think we need to assume any decisions are made before free agency  and the draft.  If they add a WR in  the draft, that $5m starts looking like a lot.

Can't count the number of he was thrown to even for short gains and balls bounced off his hands and Rivera refused to put in Moore instead. Better than Funchess but Smith did not play as well as he should for 5m.

If he did not get in the way of Samuel and Moore getting reps I wouldn't care so much but ...Rivera

I want to be snarky and stuff but wtf?

[Jeremy Igo]

5 million is absolutely too high for him.

Oh, at this point it's Tepper for me.

I know what we have in Hurney and Ron.

This. All of this. It's not like Tepper is dealing with unknown commodities here. If Hurney kills us again and Ron sticks to his stubborn ways per usual, will anyone actually be surprised by that? If it happens, it's on Tepper.

He caught 17 of 31 targets for 190 yards and 2 TDs in 6 starts and 11 total games. $5M? GTFO...

You can get that type of production out of an off the street JAG. Sorry, being a nice guy in the lockerroom isn't worth $5M.

Hahahaha, he had about the same receiving stats at Leonard Fournette last season.

Whew.

Sorry/ I thought he was paid $5m last season as the Panthers took over his contract during the trade. If I recall, it was a 1-year deal.

 Where does it say he is getting another $5m for this season?

[Growl]

Not hard to think that this came down from the very top to keep him.

5 million is his base salary this season.

He signed a 3 year deal with Philly.  He played 1 season there, they realized he can't play football any longer, and traded him to get 5M off the books.  Of course we jumped all over that...because it's a terrible football move, and we are the Panthers.

So he was under contract for us last season and this upcoming.  At least last season we were somewhat stuck with him because of his dead cap number, but this year there is nothing holding us back from forcing a pay cut, or cutting him outright with zero dead cap.

TLDR:  We are a dumb team right now.

Hope she is absolutely full of shittt. Ive dealt with some of these moves with a weak stomach. This one would take the f'ing cake. She's wrong. Won't allow myself to take that road. Fake News!

[Cpt slay a ho]

Depends on how much to keep him, not at 5m a year but 1.5 or so I can deal with

I'd like to see Torrey stay but 5 million is a bit expensive for a WR that should not be starting on this squad.

Yeah, 2.6 percent of the salary cap for a guy who takes up 1.9 percent of a roster alongside two WRs on cheap rookie deals is just exorbitant. Or something.
