Pro Bowl MLB Dan Morgan got a 5 year extension on his contract. He is a Drew Rosenhaus client that decided to not holdout to get a extension. This is great news for the panthers because Will Witherspoon is also in the last year of his contract and him and Dan Morgan are best friends, so it will be easier to sign witherspoon.
Good thing they got that done. He is a good LB and is a leader on that team. If he can stay healthy he is a Pro Bowl type player. Good job by the Panthers.
I went to the last 30 minutes to the panthers training camp today because i was near by. And Will and Dan and their wives looked like they were heading to lunch. I read in the newspaper that Will witherspoon doesnt want to go to a different team as Dan
finally i nice Drew Rosenhaus client and it worked Drew probably told him to hold out training game. Too nice of a guy to do that
I think the Panthers needed him to make the playoffs. hes a leader and will be the future for the Panthers. I say theyll win the SB during the 5 years.
Dan Morgan did it the way you should get a extension, go to camp and prove that your worth it. He didnt bash the team, he kept it on the down low, and just asked the GM to extend his contract because he wants to stay a panther. The guys that are holding out need to learn that it usally doesnt work. Boldin got in camp and said he wanted a extension and got one also.
exactly Coachs and owners like nice players who can really help their team win and help team chemistry. Holding out does niether. Thats why its more effective to do what Morgan and Boldin did.
Everytime I hear the name "Dan Morgan," I get a picture of Favre stiff arming him to the ground and messing up his ankle... Was that his rookie year when that happened? I forget...
