This is not on Gett.

Everyone keeps blaming Gettleman.  This is not his fault.  Blaming Gettleman for this mess is like blaming the street-sweepers toiling away each morning on Bourbon Street during Mardis Gras for the huge mess.

 

This is Hurney's mess.

 

When you rip off a big ass mutha-fvccn band-aid stuck on there for 5 years and reinforced with super glue, its gonna hurt a little.

 

We are bleeding now and damn near bleeding out but Gett's view is to get this roster right sooner than later.  You cannot do that by taking on more contracts that are not a part of your end game just because you fear the alternative.

 

Every single player that we have lost is a marginal difference maker at their very best.  The only one I wanted to keep out of any of them was Mitchell but we cannot pay him what others were willing to and still be viable in FA.

 

I don't want to get into just how ineffective players like Captain are in the grand scheme and just how ineffective players like Smith have become as of late because I know from reading over the years that most of you are way too emotionally attached to your heroes to tolerate ANYTHING negative being said about them.  That said, they all got overpaid in their new contracts.  Congrats to them.  

 

Money is what it is all about.  The sooner the fans realize what everyone else involved with the NFL already knows, the better off they will be.

Smith leaving had NOTHING to do with the money.

 

Ginn? Mitchell? Sure.  But not Smitty.

 

 

Agreed.  

 

His attitude and potential for distraction finally caught up with his waning talent.  As soon as "the grief" and "the great" became a push, he effectively punched his own ticket.

So you sacrifice wins just because one guy had an axe to grind? I hear the chemistry word being tossed around a lot. How do you think the players feel right now? When asked about why they turned it around from 1-3 guess who they give the credit to?

Steve would have been very productive in the slot, and probably would have taken a pay cut if asked. Instead one man decided to just cut ties, with no replacement in sight

The blame everything that happens on Hurney mentality is getting very played out.

It's only played out if you want it to support your opinion. Hurney's contracts has put us in cap hell that is taking a couple seasons to get out of. We signed a lot of 1 year contract players last season and now they signed contracts with others teams more than what they are worth. We have to create space for the next couple seasons so that we can finally breathe and that involves many tough decisions.

Yes it did. He was owed more than he would be worth in 2015 or 2016 if we kept him this year. A mod posted it somewhere.

 

Oh yes, which is why we didn't even try to restructure with him?  Come on, snap out of it, stop blaming Hurney.  Gettleman wanted Smith out.  Agree or disagree, it's the truth.

Then ask him to take a pay cut or cut him next year when you already have his replacement on the roster. This year we are paying him more than Baltimore is. Think about that with every td, first down, and ball spin. We're paying him to make plays for another team because of some phantom "distraction"

      Steve Palazzolo and Sam Monson on Panthers free agency

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I think free agency should be to fill holes, but the draft is where you find your stars/elite players.  Here is why, and it is mathy.  I majored in English/Journalism. I draft Williams and get him for 4 years at $2m per.  I then sign him to a $26m  4 year contract.  Williams was my DT at an average of $14m per year for 8 years. I sign Williams as a free agent for $26m, I get him for 4 years and during those four years, paid him an average of $12m more than average over 8 years...Hold on, there is more. If I draft Williams at $2m per year for 4 years and then let him enter free agency, you could argue that I got a bargain, but if you look at the arc of a typical career, you allowed a developing player to occupy a roster spot and you paid $8m for him to go to another team during his prime.  You become a farm team for the other 31 teams. So it is best to draft and keep your players--and not overpay for free agents or let your developmental talent walk.   I am dizzy now.

      Currently 31 players on contract in 2026 with $89,178,390 in cap space per OTC. However, 5 of those players are just void deals and 2 of the players the financial terms of their contracts have not been disclosed yet. So, we really aren't in great cap shape for 2026 at the moment. Lots more moves still on the table to see how it shakes out.
