Panthers and WR Robby Anderson have agreed to a 2-year, $29.5 million extension, per source.

I’m a bit torn on the move since the WR position is pretty deep. But it’s not crazy money for a guy who puts up solid numbers and has straight burner speed.

I wonder if this move gets done if Darnold isn’t the QB

None of that was true nor was the "Robby doesn't want to be here" conspiracy theory. It was based on absolutely zero documented, factual information nor even any real rumor mill information. It was based purely on idiots on the internet pulling things out of there ass. 

That was why I got annoyed by that stupid poo. It was based on nothing.

yeah, we don't if that was true or not.  But we know he isn't going to be playing any longer under the worst case scenario. 

and it was based on common sense and NFL history.  Robby would have been correct in wanting a deal BEFORE this season started.    An injury would fug him.   That's just business.

I'm with the non-freakout crowd on this one.  Fair deal all around. 

It's embarrassing that we have fans complaining about securing a skill collection core of CMC, Hubbard, DJ, Robby, TMJ, Arnold, & Tremble locked up for the next few years... this is one of the best offensive skill collections we've ever had... what is there to complain about??  Paying a WR who put up 1000+ yards with a noodle arm QB market rate??  GFTOH...

People joke about it, but even if Darnold fails, this team is being set up to be a perfect situation for someone like Aaron Rodgers or Deshaun Watson to come into

It's refreshing to have competency at GM, but some people still can't be happy unless they're miserable... what a way to go through life...

this is basically he’s gone writing on the wall. 

They are using DJ’s 5th year option next year. After that, he’ll get the big contract.

I guess that it's the cost of doing business. 

I just hope we don't see his production tail off like it did last season after week 4. If so, it could start early and we could be regretting this. Perhaps it is structured to have most of the guarantee for this season and the rest is just New Orleans-style imaginary money.

We have the space to squeeze that in there this year. Drops the hit for the next two seasons.

It's honestly not a bad deal at all.

Remember that when the Panthers are trying to sign OL   this off-season. Putting it on this year, or next year, means it’s gone either way. Doesn’t matter what year it hits. It’s money they don’t have anymore. 
 

   Just like signing Teddy and his great contract. Or Boston. Or keeping KK. Or Weatherly…etc..

Think those contracts would have been better spent on an OL or two. Not bottom feeders like Erving and Elflien either.

If you were smart you would know now that it was probably true he did all that because he wanted more money. Damn some people can’t read between the lines.

 

Thanks for checking in, you were definitely one of the dopes I was referring to. How about this, Mr. "Read Between the Lines", show me one shred of actual evidence that was ever the case?

He’s not. He’s a low end quality starter that’s really a 3/4 stringer in any other teams NFL. 

There's this great site called Ourlads.com that will let you look at every team's depth chart. You might want to spend some time there before you make claims like this. 

[Varking]

Good deal for both sides.

Robby gets x on a 2 year deal.

DJ will get a little bit more, but on a longer deal (4-5 years) which will also equal more guarantee.

Golladay just signed a deal for 18.  An old Julio just signed a deal for 22.   So I would say you look at deals like....and whatever you think he is worth off those numbers.  You add to it.  Because time will inflate what it ends up being. 

[Double Trouble]

Is the extension for 2022-23 or 2021-2022?  Sounds like 2021-22...so basically it's a 1y 19.5m extension on the orig 2yr/20m deal?

edit: it's through 2023.

Do you dip your paint chips in guacamole or just eat them straight off the molding?

This deal isn't even close to leverage for DJ if the breakdown earlier is correct btw, lol. DJ is certainly going to want quite a bit more than this if he sees himself as elite.

However, he didn't hold out. He has basically shown up for the bulk of the entire offseason. That is also "not good business" since you can also get injured just as easily during that period. 

That's why it made absolutely no sense when people were spinning this yarn about him being a malcontent. That was never true.
