Should the Panthers let Captain Munnerlyn walk?

[KillerKat]

If he wants more than he's worth, yes

[PantherPhann89]

Only if he expects to get paid like a starting CB. He's a nickel CB and should be paid like one. Personally I think that he's a very good nickel and a very poor starter. Although I love his heart, his desire...

[MrBubba]

Appears that Panthers are willing to let him go on the open market and find out his worth, then see if they want to match or top. Cap was our best DB last year, he walks the hole there gets even bigger. If you can bring him back and not bust bank you must try and do it.

Well if it true they have not approached him how do they know how much he wants?

Kinda what we did with him last year only a bit more complex . Last year was his "prove it deal" he settled for after he found a cold market. He proved it, but how much of that was scheme and a dominant front seven? That's the gamble you take when letting players establish market value. It's a good process to take though. Hurney didn't take that stance (see Godfrey extension).

[doogy]

Munnerlyn won't be back. He had a good year and someone is going to pay him big bucks that we won't come close to matching. Unless he's willing to come back for cheap he'll be in a different uniform next season.

 

It's too bad, I really disliked Munnerlyn early in his career but he played so well for us this year in a versatile role that gave our defense some flexibility. But I think his potential has maxed out and Gettleman for sure won't spend too much to bring him back. I expect a cheap deal or two for some CBs out there that have some size to them plus a draft pick, but I highly doubt we have much of an improvement from last year's secondary. 

[Mr. Scot]

Well worth keeping as a nickel corner.

Captain is one of my favorite Panthers. I don't know why you guys like to sh*t on him so much, but we undoubtedly undervalue him here on the Huddle. He might just be one of the best nickel specialists in the league.

[TheRed]

To be fair, how many of our FA's have we approached with deals so far, besides Gano?

 

We let things play out with Munnerlyn last year, and I imagine that is what will happen again.

[Toundra]

We need captain bad he is an outstanding blitzing CB.

 

[cbully]

I was a little surprised when he said that they have not approached him with a deal.

if you keep getting short deals, chances are you're just filling in until someone better gets there. he screwed himself when he turned down that 3 year deal. foolish choice. I say peace him out, anyone named Josh, take clap and Flo, and Godfrey too.

[cbully]

We need captain bad he is an outstanding blitzing CB.

he gets like 2 sacks a year like this... props to him that, however he balances it out by getting 2nd degree burns from solid WRs every year to. He can tackle but a juke and sprint makes him look really short and average.

3,5 so 4 sacks..

And he as been used as a blitzer during the last 2 or 3 games so this is not bad at all.

[Seal (SmittyIsOurSavior)]

delusional...

 

Do you actually watch the games, or do you base your opinions on Huddle hype?

 

Remember, these are the same people trying to convince themselves that Julius Peppers was a terrible player after he walked because he wanted more money than we wished to give him. Same thing is happening to Captain right now, and the same thing could very well happen to Hardy is he doesn't lock up a long term deal soon enough.
