The Panthers wide receiver said Wednesday that he'd prefer to remain in Carolina and sign a long-term contract, but acknowledged his future is largely out of his hands.

Someone who is actually decent at his position is willing to sign with us long-term.

 

Good news indeed.

Except, please show me those words. I don't see that he said that, all I see is the writer saying that he said it. 

We have the same quote we have seen about he's a Panther etc etc. Let's look at it:

Quote

“I can't control some of the stuff they put out there,” Johnson said. “I can only just come in and here and continue to be the player I have been since I got here in April. I'm not really worried about it. Whatever happens, happens. I'm locked in with the Panthers right now.”

That is what is in the article. Then there is Canales saying this:

Quote

 

Panthers coach Dave Canales did his best to quell the trade rumors at his news conference.

“My job is to do the best things to put the best 11 guys out there,” Canales said. "We love the guys that are developing in the progression that we have, so I don't see that happening.”

 

fuging 'journalists' these days. This is not accurate reporting. No attribution to the claims made within. Print it though....

He's gone. There's absolutely zero chance he re-signs here. He didn't want to come here in the first place.

This didn't age well. I don't know where you got that impression in the first place. I have half-way followed Johnson over the years, and I don't remember him saying anything like that, even as a Steeler.

That’s a different one, and at least does have the usual ‘league source’. But still no direct statements.

DJ needs to be around. He’ll play here if the money is right and has someone competent throwing him the ball.

I mean what was he going to say- "Get me outta HERE!!!" He posted a "ineed money gif" Instagram. He will go to the highest bidder like 90% of the players. Given the insane WR market, I doubt the panthers can be that. If some team is offering a 3rd or elite team offers a 2nd, you take that and still try to resign him in the off-season

The deal is dalton is a FA and i doubt he wants any part of BY, unless panthers are the highest number in guarantees

[strato]

As of today, I don't foresee Dalton wanting to leave unless they want him to. It's a good situation for him and that's been hard to find.

before the season I would have said nah, but he legit looks  like a dude you build an offense around, like that good.  I think he bumps heads in crowded WR rooms, but he's good when he's the one leading the room.  He is a diva, but he also is fuging good, so let him be everyones darling and we can all be happy.

[ECHornet]

I haven’t seen or heard anything from Diontae as a Panther suggesting he’s a poor teammate or diva. Maybe Pickens is the diva and difficult to share targets with. Idk, but I do know we should lock him up with a 3-4 year contract if he’ll take 22ish mil per year. If not, tag him and find a suitor.

Where is the source for that information? It doesn't appear true from conflicting articles ive read. Should we place a wager whether he signs here or not since you are 100% sure he wont? Sounds like an easy win for you.

Looks like we’re back to acquiring assets after today
