That is waaaayyyy too much

Absolutely it is but the more money he gets, the better the comp pick for us. We still have DWilliams, Kyle Love, David Mayo, and Thomas Davis as possible comp picks.

Devin Funchess is headed to the Colts with a one-year, $13 million deal, sources told ESPN's Chris Mortensen. The Panthers began preparing for the wide receiver's departure around mid-season when they began playing first-round pick DJ Moore more. Whether it was Funchess' inconsistency or high price tag or both it was clear Carolina was moving on from the 2015 second-round pick.

Good for Fun Fun, get paid while you can.

Good for us, for not signing that bum, and hopefully netting a decent lil comp pick in the process.

$5m is too much for a WR4. We have been a middle/bottom half passing team for years even    last year. Throw in CMC, Olsen and Thomas and WR4 is too much of a luxury for $5m. Moore and Samuel have to be our starters and if they are on the bench then I don’t know what to say. Manhertz as TE2 was on the field 33% of snaps and that was with Olsen missing a ton of time. If he’s healthy more, two TE sets is probably 40% so WR3 only gets out there 60% of the time let alone WR4.

I have to disagree when we have 2 potential starters on rookie contracts and given the crazy contracts being thrown around the last couple of years in FA

Interested in the structure and how incentive laden it is. No way they paid him 13 million out right.

He was the softest wide out in the league mentally and physically. So happy to be rid of him.

Just to piggyback off this, He also had the most "cramps" in the history of the Panthers. 

Yeah, I promise I meant to type that in when I was writing my post about his time here lol.  I made several jokes about it in various game threads...  dude was constantly tapping his helmet and jogging to the sidelines...

I just goes to show the disconnect between what teams will pay for a number 2 receiver and what fans think they are worth.

i would have given him a ham sandwich.

such is life

I just don’t get this. Since we have good deals for our top 3 WRs we should waste $5m? 

It's also valid that when you factor in guys like McCaffrey, Olsen and Thomas, Smith may be the number 4 receiver but he's more realistically receiving option number 6 or 7.

And although I don't know how likely it is at this point, if we have a return specialist we need active as the number 4, Smith could conceivably wind up inactive for some games.

I'm not being sarcastic, I bet he had more "cramps" than the whole team combined. BY FAR he had more "cramps" than anyone in a 4-year span playing for the Panthers.

Even Trump doesn't pay that much for pussies

[JARROD]

So if Funchess can get $13 Million, Torrey is a steal at $5 million. And he’s still expendable if Hurney really needs that $5 million back for a better player.

it looks like the first weeks of free agency we will do notta,... the market it nuts and a lot of players are getting megapaid.
