Team Report On Y!sports, Didn't Know That This Was Why..

Travelle Wharton was let go.. I'm not sure if this is true, but if he wouldn't take less money and left because of that. Hmmmm...

Because linebacker Thomas Davis was willing to give up some money, he got a chance to come back to the Carolina Panthers. Because left guard Travelle Wharton wouldn’t, he went on the market until being signed by Cincinnati.

Check it out right here.

I never knew that this was the main reason. Not sure what to think about it. Could it be he's not being a team player? It makes me wonder how much they actually wanted to pay him this year. Maybe he thought it was a slap to the face?

if we offered him less it wasn't a lowball, it was an offer paralleling his production. dude was a bottom ten pass blocking guard last season. in an air coryell system with a brand new franchise quarterback that's the last thing we need.

I hate he's gone, but it's a business first and foremost for these guys. Wharton felt he could acheive higher pay with another team and I have no problem with that. I wish him luck and hope he lands outside of our division. Given his age and cap number he was due a restructure or a chance to test his market.

Don't be so dramatic, it wasn't an emotional decision. Wharton is not worth what we would had to pay him. Knowing the Panthers, they offered him a fair deal, but probably not the best deal out there for a slightly below average player such as Wharton. But a slightly less than average Olineman is actually in demand by quite a few teams so I doubt the Panthers' offer was the bst on the table. Davis is a different story, no one would have offered Davis a better deal, maybe just different but it would be very highly incentive based just like ours is. Davis actually has a gateway to make A LOT of money if he reamins healthy and preforms.

WIth everything said it was a buisness decion, not an emotional decision. Wharton can do as he wishes, he serviced the Panthers decently and deserves to make his own decisions, I wouldn't call him out for not being a team players because of that. He was a team players his whole time here and he is a class act so I bet he'll be a huge team player up in Ohio as well.

Wasn't being over dramatic. It was a legit question. He probably thought we low balled him and decided to move on. You can't say it's an emotionless decision, especially if he was low balled. Either way he's gone, hope he does well. Wish he was still here to be honest.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      By ColumbusCounty · Posted

      I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
