The analyst also said the Panthers will be in the hunt this year although we have problems on offense. They said this is probably the easiest schedule we have had in about 3 years.

I don't buy into schedule stuff because it's means crap! Last year we had the hardest achedule according to some and then we started winning and people say we were only playing losing teams anyway! A lot of teams probably would have thought playing us last year was an easier game than say Seattle or Patriots and look how that turned out, one game at a time approach works best, what teams looks crap now will probably be competative and tough opponents come September.

Basically saying the team rallied around saving Rivera's job. Was ask what he thought letting our WR corp and he was/is shocked and was clearly not happy. Ask the NFL AM staff if they new of any receivers?

 

I get the feeling that some of our team has not bought in to the off season moves regarding our WRs.

Of course he's not happy! He sees the writing on the wall for his future! He's on the list of cuts for next year. There's a new guy in charge and he doesn't let sentiment rule his philosophy for building a team. Sent from my Nexus 7 using CarolinaHuddle mobile app

Dwill might want to watch what he says. He needs to tow the line and play football. He's a vet and should be casting out positive comments.

Rallying to save Rivera's job as the reason for winning kind of leaves a void for motivation this year.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      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.
