What an absolute embarrassment. How do you treat a guy like that? You took away any good faith to negotiate when they put him on blast to the media then they unceremoniously attempt a trade or an out right cut?

This is unacceptable. For a guy that did so much for this franchise what an absolute poo way to send him off. We didn't even get to thank him for what he meant to the fans.

 

Welcome to the real NFL....it is all about $ and business.  And that is not just the owners, but the players too.

 

Fans get all emotional about this.  Most players are NOT fans of the teams they play for.  They are employers.

I hate to see him go if he does go.           He is my favorite Panther of all time and one of my favorite WRs of all time..

 

 

it's a business though and if they asked him to take a pay cut and he declined..........then so be it...  the best for the team is better than just the best for one player.         He is not a legit #1 WR anymore.....and we are struggling across the board at that position,   even if he may get a statue outside the stadium in the future.

And Greg Hardy isn't worth the 13 mil tag. The only difference is we have guys that can fill that spot.

 

If we cut Smitty and added little to WR, I would be pissed.  I have to wait and see what they actually do to determine whether it is a good move or not (in my opinion).

We are about to be the damn Cleveland Caviliers, watch what I tell you.

LOL

SMH.

"AceBoogie", believe it or not, the Panthers were around before Cam Newton.

They were also around before Steve Smith, and will be around after him.

Let the poo work itself out before you kill yourself. Damn.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      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.
