Everybody Was Kung Fu Fighting!

It had to happen sooner or later.? There had to be a fight.? It's been hot and miserable on those practice fields in Spartaburg.? At some point, tempers would flair during one of the Carolina Panthers training camp sessions. It's hot, and players, as they always do after a few days of camp, are getting a [...]

Godfrey, Schwartz Signed on the Dotted Line

Mon, 21 Jul 2008 18:41:57 -0500

By my math, this leaves the Carolina Panthers two players (Jonathan Stewart and Jeff Otah) away from having all of their draft picks under contract.? Outstanding! Charles Godfrey, a rookie whom the Carolina Panthers hope will be their starting free safety this season, signed with the team Monday. Godfrey, the team's third round draft pick from [...]

Gross Out?

Mon, 14 Jul 2008 00:03:00 -0500

Jordan Gross must be singing "Should I Stay Or Should I Go Now" as he goes about his day. He was given the franchise tag this offseason by the Caroilna Panthers and had to feel as if the team would negotiate a new contract with him to take him well beyond the 200 season. Not so fast, [...]

No Rookies Signed - Yet

Tue, 01 Jul 2008 03:57:04 -0500

Interesting tidbit in the Charlotte Observer Monday concerning the negotiations, or lack of them, with the Carolina Panthers' rookie class. The Carolina Panthers are in the early stages of signing their rookie draft choices. General manager Marty Hurney said Monday there's nothing yet to report on the team's two first-round picks ? running back Jonathan Stewart [...]

Camp-O-Rama

Fri, 06 Jun 2008 20:26:54 -0500

Sorry about today’s title.? How many headlines can be made about summer school and mini camps, anyway?? Not many. The Carolina Panthers continue working on the field and working in the classrooms.? Here’s a review of what has happened in the last twenty-four hours or so. There’s a lot of stuff after the jump. Dwayne Jarrett still has [...]

There are a number of odds and ends to report from the Carolina Panthers’ Monday summer school session.? It’s a good news/bad news situation so brace yoruselves. First, the good news.

School's IN for Summer

Sat, 31 May 2008 01:54:19 -0500

This morning, the Carolina Panthers’ players dragged themselves out of bed and went back to school.? The teacher in the front of the room wasn’t some school marm wearing those pointed eye glasses with the chain hanging around her neck.? It was a coach who was probably no happier than the players about getting up [...]

Here is the complete breakdown of the trade: Eagles get: Panthers 2nd round pick Panthers 4th round pick Panthers 2009 1st round pick Panthers get: Eagles 1st round pick This is a great deal, getting another f...
