Chris Gamble to Retire

[csx]

will he still count next year as a lost free agent when they hand out compensatory picks?

He shouldn't, he wasn't a lost free agent.

[CPF4LIFE]

Really am surprised by this. i respect his decision tho. Salute one of my favorite players ever, underrated. Didn't wanna see him playing for another team anyway.

[Kurb]

Yes we would have saved the entire 11 million cap hit.

I looked this up (talked with others) and this is incorrect.

Dead money would be the same either way.

[Growl]

And you people wanted him back... head aint in it. Good riddance. Thanks for some good years though!

He's been in the NFL 9 years. How long does he exactly have to play before he can retire so people don't make dumb comments like this.

Mike Rucker retired when cut after 10. Mike Minter the same after 11. Is one year the barrier before you can be allowed to retire?

Why do people fabricate such stupid crap

This reminds me:

I have some kind of Curse of the Kurbs Jersey.

Got a Proehl, he retired.

Got a Beason, got busted up.

Got a Gamble, got busted up and retired.

No more jerseys...

If you wanted to wear a Matt Ryan, or Drew Brees, you would not lose fan-card (IMHFO)

Wow, this is really surprising...

If that's the case why not re-sign him and let him retire as a Panther?!?!

No.

Cut = retire. Same as far as cap hit.

So do you want me to get you an Armanti or Deangelo jersey?

[Monday Night Shyamalan]

I can't believe there is even a bit of hate on Gamble. The guy has been a class act since he got here...and never a distraction and for the CB position that says a lot.

Hit it on the head.

Best of luck in retirement Gamble, quietly my favorite Panther...

[Sloth]

Just so I understand:

Since Gamble probably knew WE were going to release HIM, he should have retired beforehand and given up on a nice chunk of money to help out the team that was getting rid of him?

By deciding to retire relatively on top and after only playing for us, he's a no-heart, money-obsessed pussy?

Carolina can file with the NFL to get the cap hit back.
