I didn't realize he was in the XFL this past year.  Wonder how he did there.  I mean, the dude was a freak.  I thought he was out of football and thus way way out of shape.  I mean, not saying we should, but if he has been playing he might be worth a camp tire kick for some team. 

It looks like halfway through the season he had 12 receptions for 146 yards and 0 TDs. Doesn’t look good for him…

Basically nothing. The stats were extremely unimpressive(posted in this thread).

Makes sense...if he had never left the league he would already have a decade in the rearview.  So physically even if he kept his head on his shoulders.....he is in the physical decline window.  And that's all there was to bet on with him.  Those physical tools.  Nothing to bet on then.

If you click on the link there is a video this article is based on. He had a zoom meeting with Caldwell.

I just wanted to save that so I could come back and laugh at all the people that don't think it's still a clown show. Here is that video.

Did you include the correct link? That doesn't depict anything negative.

It shows that he had a meeting on Friday after their Monday event via zoom. So Caldwell is allowing him to be linked to the organization through him. He is a senior assistant that was a voice in hiring the HC and now reports directly to him. With the VP of pro-personnel leaving mysteriously at the same time this crap is happening is pretty funny to me. 

The Huddle is more of a clown show with you here for sure.

I don’t know why it’s a big deal to anyone. If you have had a prior connection with someone in the game that could help you get back in, you are going to mine that. Even if that guy doesn’t think it will work, he thinks he needs to show you the respect of being sure. Or tells yu they are set but a workout so we know, just in case. That is pretty common. 

What else is there here?

Just bored offseason nonsense. They should be looking under every stone to try to upgrade this roster. Our team shouldn’t be looking down those noses at any potential player at this point.

Nobody had yet to explain how this is a bad thing. You are trying  hard but not making any sense.

but does he? 

I mean, if Jim Caldwell was paired up with Tepper to decide to hire Dan Morgan and Dave Canales.....who does he really report to. 

I wish Caldwell wasn't here or part of that.  With all the surviving Game of Thrones talk and folks running to Tepper....I don't like the optics with Jim Caldwell.  It's sort of hard to deny through the chaos he rose the Panther ladder.

Yeah I’m not a fan of keeping Caldwell either. Unless Canales absolutely wanted him as an advisor which I doubt. No one from the offensive side of the ball from last year should still be here.

The video was fairly clear in stating that Bryant reached out for the meeting and that the Panthers are not interested in adding another WR.

I can understand frustration over the last 8yrs of losing, but this was just sports media trying to ragebait.

Tepper's always gotta hang onto somebody for too long.  First it was Marty.  Then it was Rhule.  Then it was Fitterer.  Now its Jim Caldwell.

      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.
