Tuesday, Panthers coach Ron Rivera was asked if the team would be pursuing Steelers wide receiver Mike Wallace once free agency gets underway on March 12.

You’re warm, but you know what’s going to be interesting is how things unfold once we get to March 12,” Rivera said. “There’s a lot of things that are out there that we have to really take into consideration. You know, we’ll see how things are going to affect us when we get to the 12th.”

Does anyone seriously think he was worth what the Dolphins paid for him?

We're going to do what we always do--sit back and let the other teams go nuts, then pick up some reasonably priced free agents who can contribute. They're looking for stars, we're just looking to fill holes.

No, I don't mean Wallace damnit. In general he made it sound like we're after some free agents but in reality we're looking for 3rd and 4th tiers. I just think its funny that he made it sound like we going to bring in top talent. I'm not complaining, I just think Rivera trolled just a bit.

He made a typical HC comment by answering the question without answering the question

Does that work when your hole is "the roster."

You mean our entire roster is full of no talent scrubs? if we have absolutely zero talent on this team, then our coaching staff should be held up as massive football gods for as many wins as we got. The amount of poo that they get on this board, you'd think that our team was made up of nothing but all stars. Which is it? I'm so confused.

    • 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.
    • Well, we got our answer on Army today.
