They basically paying this dude to possibly go be the missing piece for a contending team. Don't worry Ravens we will pay most of his salary hopefully he balls out for you guys.

 

This franchise is a damn joke!

We better not be paying his salary too

So we essentially traded, Donte Jackson, Diontae Johnson and next years 6th for Baltimores 2025 5th.

So updating this to include the pick swaps with the Jackson trade and $.

We traded Donte Jackson, Diontae Johnson, 2024 6th and a 2025 6th in EXCHANGE for a 2024 7th and 2025 6th and are paying all but $625k of Diontae's remaining salary, which means we gave the dude 9.3mil to play 7 games for us.

Sidenote: (The 7th from Pitt was used to draft Michael Barrett, who we traded to Seattle for Michael Jackson, so I guess that's a win)

From twitter:

When you trace the total transaction, this is insane. Panthers trade: Donte Jackson, Diontae Johnson and a 6th round pick. Panthers Receive: a 5th round pick.

It's worse - we traded the 1st pick of the 6th round for a pick in the mid-late 20s of the 5th round... All while paying the salary of the guy we traded away.

So... we pretty much traded away a broken washing machine for a slightly lesser broken washing machine while paying the costs to fix the broken washing machine we gave away.

We don't have cap room to go shopping 

Not on day one and looking at this year I am more than fine with that.

They will absolutley have to sift through the pile in free agency and find some people to play. Hopefully they are better than what they have found the last 2 years since Morgan came on board.

Possibly, but you don’t get comp picks if we go FA shopping which I think is a given we must do this offseason for the defense. So most likely no, we would have gotten zero from a comp pick

Understandable but I wouldn’t expect us to be big spenders anytime soon tbh, I think the risk would have been worth it compared to this pick swap trade we just made

Probably more behind the scenes than we know. For what they let me go for, he must have been out of favor with everyone on staff. Possibly could have gotten more to just keep him and get a compensatory pick at end of season so someone must have really not liked the guy?

We’re paying $3m of it

Should have just traded Jackson for a pick straight up. 

[TNPanther]

We are officially the league’s cuck franchise.

We paying most of it lol

 

We are truly pathetic. The sad part is we traded more to get him. We got a lesser round pick for him and was arguably the best WR available for trade smh

Again, we gave Pittsburgh a 5th and got back a 7th in the DJ for DJ swap. The 5th we got from Baltimore is cancelled by the 5th we gave Pittsburgh.

So we really got a 7th for Diontae, Donte and a 6th.

They should just send this franchise to North Korea to live out the rest of their existence...

I can see the headlines now - Panthers lose on last second FG to the North Korea Anti-Freedomers (accepting clever names). After the game, the team was locked in a dungeon and never heard from again

Geez, another awful trade where we give up a good player for peanuts.  Maybe this team needs some fire in the locker room versus a bunch of nice guys that lose well.
