Dane Jackson released

[Icege]

Good on Dan.

He had pounded the table for Dane in Buffalo and then did the same to bring him here. Mike Jackson outplayed him, and Dan is cutting ties rather than holding on to a guy that was outperformed by other guys on the roster.

Best of luck to Dane. I'm sure he'll get picked up somewhere as depth at least. Worst case scenario, he'll make a practice squad.

Current cap space ~$28.6M  (will be higher once the 2025 cap is finalized)

Great move by Dan. Glad he didn't keep him because of the connection.

kinda like Tito.

Ice is right--this says more about Morgan than Dane.

That was a nasty pun

This move will generate a dead money charge of $2.5MM but it will yield $3.35MM in savings for Carolina. The team was already mid-pack in the NFL in terms of spending power as free agency approaches, but additional funds will help Carolina’s efforts in improving a defense which ranked 23rd against the pass in 2024.

 

The Panthers hope to work out an extension with Horn this offseason, and keeping fellow starter Michael Jackson in the fold on a new pact is also a priority. Cornerback could be a position to watch with respect to at least one notable addition over the coming months, but in any case Dane Jackson will not be part of Carolina’s plans.

I also thought this was a solid signing but nice to see a pivot quickly rather than our usual hubris of "well we are smarter" and a double down.

I still believe Dan is an average or above average pro personnel guy. I just wish he had any clue in the draft.

I swear I seen somewhere he had a 1 million guarantee for this year cut or not.

 

They must believe in Chau Smith-Wade and making good progress on the Michael Jackson contract. 

 

I found it odd when Dan went fully seahag " We want long arms tall CBs " and then signed the BY of CBs. When you are hurt, the team finds out your true value..... most times everyone is replaceable with cheaper options..

I’m just glad this move hopefully brings an end to the “BANG THE TABLE FOR DANE JACKSON” comment that every single reporter has used since day one.
