Gettleman Made Nicks an Offer, But Nicks Says, "It Wasn't The Right Situation."

[Car123]

Maybe Nicks asked Gettleman to keep Smith so he can be Carolina's missing piece but Gettle refused.

[Sloth]

Except we offered a contract and Nicks hopped a plane.

[Jmac]

Well..then see ya.....would rather do what needs to be one now and bite the bullet, then suck ass for the next decade.

There, full story in the title for all you generation microwavers.  Instant gratification.

Hakeem Nicks said Panthers GM Dave Gettleman made him an offer but ultimately it wasn't the right situation, Nicks says

 

[Cj72]

Guess Nicks wanted a 1 year contract and Gettle wanted long term.

This would be my guess too. I would imagine that nicks is looking for the big bucks next year if he lights it up this year

[SOJA]

Its settled then Luck over Cam....jk jk. It probably has to do with the length of the deal

Nicks said he wanted to come in and be the missing piece, not the savior. Simple as that

What a pussy.

[Zod]

This just tells me Nicks is a pussy and doesn't want to be a number 1 receiver... Nor is he ready to be one I guess...

 

Bingo.

 

Gettleman: Can you come in and be our #1 guy right away considering your play as of late and injuries.

 

Nicks: I can't guarantee thaty

 

Gettleman: Well here is #2 WR money.

 

Nicks: No thanks

 

Both together: Maybe this isn't the right situation.

In Indy there aren't the same expectations as here.  He signed a 1 yr 3.5 million a year contract with them. That's number 2 money.  A deal that if we got him to sign we would have been jumping in the streets, but he would have had the expectations of a highly paid high profile number 1 and would be compared to Smith.

Maybe we offered less?

 

Nicks is far from a guarantee this season considering his past. Injury prone and poor attitude. Funny how no one threw elite money at him.

So players don't feel like playing for the Panthers? Collins picked Bucs and Nicks colts. Do players know something we don't.

hope that is sarcasm.

Again, for a receiver taking a 1 year deal to raise his value, where would you rather go?  A pass happy offense that spreads the ball around to multiple capable targets?  Or a run first offense where you would be the only receiver (currently) on roster that an opponent would have to gameplan for?  Its common sense.

Valid point.

 

This is why we get safety's looking to raise their values, not WRs.
