Another Olivier Vernon suitor.

I'm not entirely sure how the transition tag works, but don't you have to give up draft picks to sign someone tagged with that? I can't see Gettleman doing that.

But something is going to have to give.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Nope no compensation. Just the right to match an offer. Its not every year you get an ascending pass rusher in his prime that is readily available.

Another Olivier Vernon suitor.

Or Mario Williams.

 

[What the Faulk]

Meh. It'd have to be a significant discount IMO.

Dwan Edwards also released.

 

[John Price]

RT @AdamSchefter After visiting with the Giants and the Buccaneers, DE Charles Johnson now plans to return to the Panthers, per team sources. Big return.

 

[Avs_19]

Looks like he's back. Good for the Panthers.

 

[Voight]

Don't think teams should be allowed to resign a recently released player of theirs.

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

Good news for the Panthers. Unexpected too.

 

[Novacane]

Turned down $6 million from other teams and came back for $3 million. Gettlemagic. But also good for CJ

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Carolina would still be on the hook for the dead money to their cap wouldn't they?

Yes, but it took him from being $15 million this year to $4+$3 million, so they basically got rid of half the cap.

 

[What the Faulk]

$3 million is good. $3 million is very good.
