Dwan negotiation update: No movement

[Swaggasaurus]

C'mon Dwan. Quit being stubborn. You ain't gonna get another deal elsewhere. You had your best season in this system, so stick with it.

If we can retain Dwan, we can easily go WR (Keenan/Patterson/Tavon) at 14, and a big body in Jesse or Hankins at 44. Unless, Star end up faling to 14.

Sounds like a great strategy. Listen to this man.

Dwan is gone.

Dwan is gone.

They offered him the same thing he made last year, unless they up it to two years and make it a 5-6 million dollar deal, he's not coming back.

Would it hurt to give the guy a 2-year deal? It's not like we're talking about a 5-year, $60m deal here or something. More than likely, a 2-year, $2.5-$3m dollar would get him to sign. I know we're cap-strapped, but it's not like that type of deal is crippling.

Every penny counts, that's how GM's should think. I like the way Gettleman is working right now: give players a fair deal, and stick with it. Don't pay the leverage, because sooner than you know all other agents try do the same thing.

Sign the 1y deal Dwan.

It's not really a fair deal for Dwan though, it's the exact same deal he played under last season and you get paid more then 1.5 million on a one year deal for the type of season he had here. He's wanting his pay raise now with some security.

In the current market? I can't see him getting a multiple year contract elsewhere. Maybe a small improved paycheck, but does it compensate the moving stress?

a no news update thread? I love the huddle

No news IS news in this case because it follows up on the stories that we were re-signing him. You opened this, and the title of the thread stated there was no movement. If it is not news to you, why open it and post something?

Would you want to know where we are with the Gross negotiations? I would, even if it said we were at an impasse.

This was simply a Panthers item that was posted in RotoWorld, who thought it had some value for those who wondered where we were with DE.

Having to explain this is what is typical of the Huddle. Just ignore the headline and do not open the post if you deem it unworthy.

Did he sign somewhere?

If not he is fuging stupid and should take the 2yr deal.

Gettleman could troll the poo out of him and say sure 750k for 2 years then ^_^

He offered him what he made last season and he diid not get younger. I still think he will sign. Extending what you said, I would give him a 2 year deal for $3 million, $1 million guaranteed.

He's finding out he's not goig to get what he expects. A lot of guys are finding that out this year.

Give the guy 2 years and 3 mil.

52 tackles and 6 sacks? We need the guy, bottom line.
