Fox Staying for 6 Mil ?

[vapanthersfan]

Has anyone heard that Fox has a new 6 year, 6 mil contract with the Panthers? I heard this on the John Boy and Billy show this morning from the Charlotte football writer who travels with the team. Says he was the first to get the news.

I came here today to see if it got posted or anyone was talking about it. I don't see anything or anybody saying nothing. So is it true or not?

lol, why would he sign for 6 years, $6 mil? He scheduled to make $6.5 mil for this upcoming season alone.

Methinks you either misheard or whoever reported it is an idiot.

if anything it has to be 6 million a year for 6 years. But we haven't heard anything, so I don't think it's true.

Duh huh!

No, I swear this is what they were talking about. The 6 mil was per year. They were also talking about how you put that much money out it makes it hard to invest in some good players/workers for the stadium, right on down the line. Not sure if he thought Fox was not worth it or what that was about. I also thought to myself any coach is going to demand a several mil to even entertain the idea of coming our way.

This guy says he was the "1st" to get the news and it is the only news I have heard at all about it. I'll keep looking for any further info on this matter.

6 years, $6 mil per makes more sense. Still, I doubt it's true. When you finish 3 of the last 4 years out of the playoffs with a cumulative record of 35-29, it doesn't seem like a team would reward you with $36 mil.

If this were reported anywhere this morning, by now it would be all over the place if it were true. And this board would have blown up and several posters would be hanging from the rafters already.

I hope this is true. I want to put the Cowher Crap to bed for good.

What did Mad Max have to say about the contract?

[vapanthersfan]

I Googled it and also went to the John Boy web site, I also went to the Official Carolina web site..no news anywhere. I wish I had something to back this up because I really did hear them say this.

Yeah, you would think it would be all over the news or web by now. I figured you Charlotte guys would listen to the John Boy show on Fridays because that is when they do the football rundown.

I'll eat my Panther Hat if this turns out not to be true. You guys hold me to it, I heard what I heard.

He makes 6 mil next year, the final year of his current contract.
