Panthers will have joint practice with Cleveland

[Captain Morgan]

The Carolina Panthers will host a joint training camp practice for the third consecutive summer. The franchise, entering its 31st season, will host the Cleveland Browns in Charlotte for a single joint-practice session ahead of Week 1 of the preseason

The Panthers will host two home preseason games this summer.

Canales, who plans to play the Panthers’ starters during this upcoming preseason, has a relationship with Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski. Both head coaches wanted to create a competitive simulation without risking heavy exhibition workloads for their top performers.

 

'we both plan on playing our guys in the preseason. “And so we said, ‘If we’re not going to play them the whole game, why don’t we practice a couple days before and get a little bit more work out of it, knowing the rest of the group is going to finish out that game?’

This just means they will use the practices as an excuse not to play starters in the preseason games

Any good massage parlors around BOA?  Asking for a dude with connections to the Browns who wants to remain anonymous.

“We took a big swing and miss with Deshaun. We thought we had the quarterback, we didn’t and we gave up a lot of draft picks to get him. So we’ve got to dig ourselves out of that hole. [The trade] was an entire organization decision and it ends with Dee and I, so hold us accountable,” Haslam said, via Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.

Maybe instead of the Jets or Browns aim for a team that isn't a perpetual failure too?

These connections stink. Maybe check out what well run franchises are up to and not the HC who is still employed because Watson and his trade were a gaint barrier to any decent hire? Canales wants to do what the guy with 3 wins last year is interested in. Yikes

The one bullet Tepper did manage to dodge.

He got outbid, period. Fortunately there is at least one franchise more stupid than us.  It wasn't for a lack of trying on Tepper's behalf.  If the Browns would have bailed at the last second, Watson would be our problem.

Somewhat ironic that Tampa is making playoff runs (albeit in a weak division) while Cleveland has to dig itself out of a hole.  Baker Mayfield wasn't the problem in Cleveland.

He wasn't the problem in Carolina either.

Agreed, but I wanted to avoid that discussion.
