This is Hendersons 3rd year.  You ready to pick up his 5th year option next year?

It depends on how he plays next year, but I don’t know if we could have drafted a better CB in the 3rd (which is what we gave up for him). I’m not saying it’s never happened, but chances are slim. 
 

Realistically, we probably don’t pick up his 5th and if he plays “ok” next year he might earn an “ok” contract.

Never understood what people saw in him to warrant his draft grade 

Isn’t explosive and isn’t going to bully anyone. Just a big athletic looking dude. Enough to get by in college but not the pros

What was his RAS score? A high one is all it takes for Rhule to want the guy.

Fitt is the best GM in our history at giving this team value and Rhule has no idea what to do with it. Of course players are going to look bad when you have bad coaching. This isn`t that hard to understand.

This isn't the praise for Fitt that you think it is. This is more of an indication of how poorly ran the Panthers have been over the years.

I’ll reserve judgement on this end, Brown is finally playing like the guy we hoped he be in year 3. It can sometimes take time to develop unless you’re exceptionally talented.

Brown also said he lost 15 lbs this offseason so he could be more of a pass rusher and less run stuffer. It's just they didn't bring in anyone else to actually be the run stuffing dlineman.

I like what Fitt has done he’s stated that to build the ultimate roster is to do it around a Rookie QBs contract. Until he finally gets the chance to shoot his shot for a franchise guy in the first I’ll have faith 

If that is his philosophy then he isn’t really practicing what he preaches.  He gives up a lot of draft capital needlessly.

      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.
