Yep. We were interested, but apparently not as interested as they were.

It's not as safe a choice as Carr would have been, but it's definitely a less expensive one.

I'm good with it.

[Kentucky Panther]

I’m fine with it. He will be the best QB in the division for a solid month. Then we take Stroud.

Yeah, we weren't that interested like I was trying to tell you all along.

Oh, we were definitely interested. Joe Person, Mike Kaye and others confirmed that much.

That we weren't as interested as the Saints is actually just my speculation. We'll have to wait until more details come out to know the full truth.

Not where I hoped he would land. There are some QB needy teams in front of us that would have made much more sense, from a Panthers perspective anyway. 

[Mr. Scot]

In fact, here's a little more info now...

Sounds like the Saints might have beaten us to the punch

[Mr. Scot]

Gantt it also makes it sound like a disappointment for us...

Curious to see the numbers here.

I agree that we were interested, and I stated that. The problem is that we were interested enough to pay Carr a relatively big-money, long-term contract. I said that no smart team was going to sign him early, and I stand by that.

Yeah, except the actual news (again) goes against what you say.

Reports have confirmed that we were calling Carr today to talk money, but the Saints swooped in and got him before we had the chance.

I get that it's your preference to ignore news that doesn't suit what you believe, but hey...

Sounds like the terms may be standard fare for NO. Lots of bonus money and a low salary.

Really very interested in the details here.
