Sorry dude. Didn’t see your post before I made mine.

All good, happened at basically the same time.

I think the Panthers may have just witnessed how Bill manhandled Tampa's receiving corps on Sunday and decided that to get Gilmore to help them compete against the Bucs. Their offensive line is not great, but Darnold is improving and McCaffrey practiced today. They are really going all in this year, especially on defense. Suddenly the NFC south is no longer a gimme with Carolina and NO better than advertised.

NFC South was never a gimme. NO might have the best defense in the league and a real coach. Who knows about Carolina.

Chris Carter was my favorite Pete Carroll disaster. Willie Clay was let go for him.The hyper around him from Pete was unreal and he got torched throughout the 1999 season. He’s a terrible DB that doesn’t get enough love around here.

Willie Clay! There's a great name of the past. I remember when Carroll drafted and misused Sean Morey, we cut him and he ended up being the leagues best special teams player made the pro bowl lol

Revis was the 11th highest paid corner in 2014. And it was only a one year deal.

yikes. I guess gilmore was the first big signing. What about samuel's franchise tag in 07?

So he is going to play for Carolina for the $7 mil? Embarrassing. What a botch job by Bill.

Embarrassing for Gilmore. The dude signs a top-of-contract market then holds out by claiming he's injured, then he goes to another team and is miraculously healed.

I don't know know how that is embarrassing.

I don't get the Brady hate but I wanted him to go to GB to see why the narrative is after they still lose in the playoffs.

I like Brady for all that he has done for NE.

I was in his corner last season. He accomplished his goal. I don't want to see Brady win it again.

Yeah I don’t get that either.

Gilmore is another example of an aging vet that was given the "Bill treatment." Gilmore wants to be paid elite CB money, but Bill knows he's on the wrong side of 30 and wants him to take a pay cut. Gilmore probably took it personally as Brady did.

The thing is, we need good players.

The talking heads must have forgot about all the key veterans Bill has let go for 2 decades.

lol you can do that when you have Brady

I don’t think it was a pay cut that Brady took personally. He took a haircut for the team in some form or fashion for the two decades he was here. It was the unwillingness to give him the years he wanted.

We only have 27M in cap room until this trade for 2022. This will give us much needed relief. We have numerous key FA. Our secondary is great without Gilly and he won’t be back next year.

 

[farn]

We can’t see his full potential until the O line gets under control. He’s throwing quick dump off passes to RB’s and still getting rocked. It’s tough to watch.

I’d be happy with a first round OT in 2022. I’d even want to grab a FA as well, if one is available.

Not the paycut, but perhaps Blil's (mistaken) belief he couldn't play until 45.

Ok, then I guess I'll be alone in thinking lying about your health status and watching your team lose when you could be out there helping is embarrassing.

Should Carolina believe him if/when he says he's hurt, or just wire some money into his bank account?
