2020 Carolina Panthers Thread

LOL. Dude was going to be fighting for a roster spot regardless. Only chance he had of making this team was to be a less expensive veteran who was as good as a rookie, but with more experience.

The WR purge will begin soon. Shephard likely to be cut after refusing to take less money.

Shame. I thought he'd make a good fantasy sleeper last year. Turns out he is only good against the Panthers....which means he'll sign with a division rival and burn us twice a year.
 
 
buckets votes to approve deal.

Tepper arguably is one of the greatest hedge fund managers of this generation. He also has a strong philanthropy résumé, particularly in areas where he has lived. He donated $3 million over the year to help with hurricane relief in Puerto Rico and Texas.

I get that $3 mil is $3 mil, but dude is dropping $2.2 billion to buy a football team (aka his play money, and yes i realize it is not all coming out of his checking account). $3 mil over several years for a notable philanthropy resume seems a little soft under the circumstances.
 
what does it mean "keep the team in Charlotte"? are we just talking the next season or two, because that's obvious. at least he's from Pittsburgh and not some town searching for a team.

It literally said “over the year.” I took that to mean over the last 12 months specifically to Texas and PR hurricane relief.

Through the preseason at least.
 
I thought it was a typo that meant to say "over the years". If he donated $3 mil in the past year I would think that is how it would have been written (or in the past year, in the past 12 months, etc) ... "over the year" is a weird way to write it if that is what he meant. Over what year?

WGAF ? It's more than anyone in Charlotte's given to Puerto Rico.
 
It was a very weird way for the writer to word it, but to me it is pretty clear he meant in the last 12 months. He specifically mentions Puerto Rico and Texas, two places devastated by hurricanes in the past 12 months. There is no reason to mention those two places if the money wasn't donated in the past year.

And who cares when he donated it. He DONATED. He gave money. And a lot of money at that.
 
$2.2bn is prob a great price with gambling on the way
 
Yeah, dude bought before sport gambling increased the valuation. He'll get the full benefit of betting's increase.
 
Looks like stability is the word of the day. Rivera, Hurney, and Cam locked in for the next three seasons.

 
maybe i'm crazy but outside of the late rounds of the 2018 draft, i like everything that new hurney has done
 
Hates Trump.

Expected Panthers buyer isn't a Trump fan, called him a 'demented, narcissistic scumbag'

“The economy’s really good right now, despite different things,” Tepper told a first-year business school student at Carnegie Mellon University, SI reported. ".. Whether I like the person or not I’m not going to get into that—although I did call him a demented, narcissistic scumbag. And if you look up 'demented, narcissistic scumbag,' you’ll see my name calling Trump that. Just Google those three words.”
