Keyshawn leaning Panthers

Had an interesting (and long) conversation with former Panthers and Bucs WR Keyshawn Johnson yesterday, the fruits of which will be spread throughout the next few days papers. He's that kind of interview.

Always entertaining, Johnson referred to Monday's game as "The Keyshawn Bowl," and offered some insights into both sides.

And while many here thinks he has it out for the Panthers after they cut him one year into a four-year deal (don't worry, he liked the parting gifts, $6 million for a year's work), Johnson bears no ill will.

In fact, he said he's leaning toward picking the Panthers this week, based on the general trend of home-team dominance in the NFC South this year (22-2).

"I usually go that way, with the home team," he said. "But this is going to be a good game, two good teams, good defenses. People think I don't like Carolina, because I never picked them last year. That's because they weren't any good. I'm picking them now because they are good.

"You'll get no hard feelings from me, I wish them the best of luck."

i don't think the players liked him much. i can't imagine that he would have been good to have in the lockerroom last year.

i don't have a problem for the reasoning behind not picking us last year. we weren't good. we were horrible. this year....not so much.

i think we gave him 6mil good reasons to like us a little.

as a tv/radio personality....i just don't like him. got nothing to do with him being an ex-panther.

Geez I hate we even signed the guy. In no way did he ever take the place of Moose.

I don't know, Keyshawn did as good as Moose is going to do this year. 750 yards and 5-7 td's, right? Keyshawn had some good catches, Moose drops wide open passes/TD's. They are a bout the same. Keyshawn did his job here, as a #2 receiver, stop the hate.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      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.
