NFL Free Agent News


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

Also, I suggest there be a separate thread made specifically for Panthers free agent news.

I thought about that, and maybe one of the mods will start one.

My take, though? Panther news items will likely each get their own thread. And this being a Panther fan forum, why not?

Does anyone else think it's weird that Joe Person retweeted this:

With loss of Anthony Collins looming, Bengals contingency is to flip Andrew Whitworth to LT. Margus Hunt likely replaces Michael Johnson.

 

It just seems odd to me that he'd pick such a random tweet to RT. Is this a sign that we may be landing Collins? Or am I crazy and hopeful?

Most on here don't even think he is a starting quality DB. Shows that the avg huddler is clueless.

If someone gives Cap 7 mill a year there dumb. He is a specialty player that can't play multiple spots. But hey! If they got money to blow...

He probably thought it was the Bengals' beat writer breaking news about the Panthers.

I hope the Panthers can free up $$ to keep Mitchell who has shown the drive this team needs, as well as Ginn. Byron Bell is one free agent I would like to see released and replaced with someone more physical and muli-talented on the field.  I have not seen this performance from Bell.

    • 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.
