Got ya, but he's officially retired?  Players sometimes say they are retired and drag their feet on the paperwork and the retirement is not official until then.  If he's officially retired, Spotrac is correct and OTC is incorrect.  Typically it's the other way around with those two sites.

No idea, maybe he will come back

Yeah, I am out on that.

I remember seeing him on the ground after a concussion looking like a scared child. That felt about as bad as I have ever felt about a professional football game. He's done all he needed to do and if he feels like he isn't physically up to it go and enjoy life.

I agree, if it's what he truly wants.  If he decides to come back I wont hold it against him either.

He has not filed the paperwork and he is still on the roster.  If you go to the NFLPA website the Panthers had about 2.5 million in cap room before they signed Apple. 

I also saw a report the Reid was designated a June 1st cut.  But I only saw that in 1 place and can't be sure.  The NFLPA is slow to update their numbers.  If you see around 10 million in cap space by the end of next week you will know that they have cut both of them with June 1st designations.

Just now, bababoey said:

If they cut luke and he decides to unretire, he could sign with any team.  You dont have to cut retired players they are already treated as a cut.

But I'm right about this

[45catfan]

He's right, if we cut Luke and he comes back, he would be a UFA.  I'm 99.99% that won't happen, though.  Luke retired because he felt he needed to, not like Favre who was just fed up with his situation in Green Bay.

[45catfan]

Just a thought, since retirement acts like a cut, I wonder if the Panthers asked Luke to hold off filing the paperwork until after June 1, so it would function like a June 1 "cut"?
