Report: McCoy Heading For Charlotte Tomorrow
May 29th, 2019
The Gerald McCoy World Tour kicked off in Cleveland, moved to Baltimore and now will head south to Panthers country.
Carolina beat writer Jourdan Rodrigue of the Charlotte Observer explained in a fresh story this evening that the six-time Pro Bowler has been a target of the Panthers for a while and will arrive tomorrow for a two-day visit.
Carolina has some salary cap wiggle-room becoming available in just a few days — though that number might still be a little high.
Because they designated former left tackle Matt Kalil as a post-June 1 cut, the Panthers will have an extra $7.5 million in cap space — giving them about $16 million in cap space that could feasibly be directed toward McCoy.
Kawaan Short, newly-acquired Dontari Poe and Gerald McCoy? Now that would be the feared defensive line threesome in the NFC South.
Poe scored $12 million for 2019 in free agency back in March. But he’ll earn just $6 million if he’s there in 2020.
What will McCoy demand? Joe has to think McCoy would adore a crack at the Bucs twice in the first six games of this season. Also, Joe is wondering why, on the surface, it seems the Panthers weren’t interested in Ndamukong Suh.

If Batman was such a good solid player and the Bucs were so foolish to let the softest player in team history go why hasn’t she (oops my bad…not really) signed with anyone yet?
May 29th, 2019 at 9:17 pm
Perhaps Buc believer he’s weighing his options.
May 29th, 2019 at 9:17 pm
Man I hope CAR signs him. That’s an automatic 2 Wins.
May 29th, 2019 at 9:18 pm
Please football gods, let the Panthers sign McCoy.
May 29th, 2019 at 9:19 pm
McCoy wants 10 million and will keep visiting teams until he finds a team who will give it to him
It’s not about winning for him it’s about making the $$$
If it was about winning he’d have signed with the Browns they are stacked on d
Baltimore runs a 3-4 and he’d be out of place in that scheme just like he was here
May 29th, 2019 at 9:19 pm
If McCoy is wanting to find a super bowl bound team AND stick it twice to the Bucs this year he need not look farther than the New Orleans Saints.
May 29th, 2019 at 9:20 pm
Hopefully his softness rubs off on the Panthers d
May 29th, 2019 at 9:21 pm
He going to be a back-up to Kawaan Short? Oh yea they’re moving to a 3-4 so he’s going to be a back-up to Short and Addison.
This is all a media parade, this child is signing with the Saints for 3 mil a year talking ’bout “I wanted to play with my friend and chase a championship”.
What a loser!!! (In comparison to his peers not me of course)
May 29th, 2019 at 9:22 pm
Joe your boy wants to get his 13 million … it ain’t happening
May 29th, 2019 at 9:26 pm
McCoy will be lucky to get 8 million. The signing of Suh by us set the price for him.
Suh is better then he is, and more reliable, and got 9.25 million + Incentives that can equal 10 million.
Quick – Tell me why McCoy is worth as much or more as Suh ?
May 29th, 2019 at 9:28 pm
I think the browns and Ravens laughed McIceCream out of town.
They said “you want how much?” Wait let me run your tape and you explain to me why your worth more than 2.5 mil.”
May 29th, 2019 at 9:38 pm
“McCoy wants 10 million and will keep visiting teams until he finds a team who will give it to him
It’s not about winning for him it’s about making the $$$”
EXACTLY. Gerald plays for the love of the money. Panthers are doing his agent a favor. They’re not interested. They know what he is.
May 29th, 2019 at 9:42 pm
I imagine the Browns GM and staff eating ice cream sandwiches during the interview…..mmmmm….
May 29th, 2019 at 9:45 pm
What 55 last said. My God how I would love for him end up with a division rival.
May 29th, 2019 at 9:47 pm
You never know though….McCoy may likely dominate on a good team with a good culture…..never underestimate the Bucs ability to field a bad team.
I’m hoping t-max is right but there’s no guarantee….we’ll see
May 29th, 2019 at 9:47 pm
Oh yeah Velita THATS it she is weighing her options…. seems more like nobody wants her.
May 29th, 2019 at 9:48 pm
Howard, thanks for the laugh! That is a hilarious thought!
May 29th, 2019 at 9:53 pm
Howard lol after 9 years he is suddenly going to dominate. He hasn’t dominated a single quarter in 9 years. And you think he will sign with the panthers and suddenly dominate. If any coach or gm in the league thought he could dominate. They would have sent at least a 3rd round pick for a dominating dt to ensure they get him. The lack of anyone wanting to trade anything for him shows you all you need to know.
May 29th, 2019 at 9:55 pm
Must be quite nice for GMC. Its rumored Carolina. Ravens and Browns are bidding for his services. LMAO. Somebody here said if GMC goes to Carolina thats an automatic 2 wins for us. Bucs? Automatic wins? Man please hit me up with your supplier. You smokin some…Nostradamus stuff.
May 29th, 2019 at 10:00 pm
I hope McFlurry goes to the Panthers. “Oops sorry Jameis”
May 29th, 2019 at 10:01 pm
No time for McCoy updates; Batman marathon on Netflix.
May 29th, 2019 at 10:02 pm
Mike Johnson
Every game there was an offensive player going against GMC and his lead defenses there was someone either getting a career high or a NFL record. Even Trubisky had 6 tds on us. So yeah we go against GMC…Rojo will have 150 3 TDS just running his way. We play GMC we eating Ws
May 29th, 2019 at 10:09 pm
db55. Shall I go back and bring up your expert talent evaluation?. It was you who thought. McCoy would make an excellent DE.
May 29th, 2019 at 10:13 pm
Oh my….. poor, poor Softie.
He’ll get 8 million if he’s lucky.
Maybe Dougieballs can call him and make him feel all better.
May 29th, 2019 at 10:17 pm
Don’t forget how long Suh was unemployed. And how many teams did he vist before we got hard up as usual and took him on.
May 29th, 2019 at 10:21 pm
I either read or heard on a podcast that Suh was still available because he refused to accept any offers below 10 mil. So it’s not that he was unwanted, he was just unwanted at the price he was seeking.
May 29th, 2019 at 10:26 pm

Yea but wtfdik 🤣
May 29th, 2019 at 10:27 pm
GMC: “What is the policy here regarding dancing on the sidelines while losing games and can I bring my action figures into the locker room?”
GM: No…
May 29th, 2019 at 10:28 pm
There’s no way he starts in Carolina. Over who?
May 29th, 2019 at 10:28 pm
Why we talkin about this dude anyways, Avengers over like his is. THE ENd
May 29th, 2019 at 10:54 pm
Do any of these prospective suitors believe in watching in watching video tape? If they did, they would save themselves a ton of money! But don’t forget about his 6 Pro Bowls……LOL !!!!
May 29th, 2019 at 11:28 pm
Back up in Carolina and it ain’t no automatic two wins. Basically we’ll be able to run right at him the entire game, even rojo will have a career game. He’s going to pull a Brett Favre, if he’s smart at least go to the saints but either way he’s soft and we’ll get to see first hand how much of a game wrecker he is not
May 29th, 2019 at 11:53 pm
Race
Maybe we let Benonch “block” him so he can get 3 sacks, that way the McIceCream fans can feel good about their football wisdom
May 30th, 2019 at 12:50 am
$10 million well spent to the team that signs him. Class act and a great player. Best wishes GMC!
May 30th, 2019 at 12:50 am
Re: McCoy
Who cares?! POOF, be gone. Suh-MAN-UP!
May 30th, 2019 at 2:57 am
These trips are not about football. These are ego trips.
May 30th, 2019 at 4:40 am
Suh sat on the market, no interest. GMC is being courted by the league.
How does licht still have a job?
May 30th, 2019 at 5:27 am
GMC in the meetings with other teams:
gmc:
“hi i need 10 milly you mofos”
other team’s gm:
“you are worth 3 mil werald mctoy”
gmcs response:
“hold up, i agree…i’m only worth 3 mil, but the house i rent is going to need a refurbished basement, a.k.a. the “batcave”…and i have to rent a batmobile to go with it…that’s gonna cost you mofo’s 7 extra milly”
other gm:
right across the street is an all you can eat chinese buffet…with the greatest soft serve ice cream in town, how do you feel about that gerald” ?
gmc: “fugg it…where do i sign…you had me at hello”
May 30th, 2019 at 5:29 am
gerald’s new motto:
“they had me at hello”
May 30th, 2019 at 6:08 am
I gotta admit, I only came here for the comments and as usual you didn’t disappoint! LMAO!
I do take umbrage to the guaranteed wins statement though. We have to become a consistent winning football team before we can start counting wins. With or without GMC!
May 30th, 2019 at 6:13 am
Will on the good side of it if he goes to Carolina. Even Ronald Jones can hit that hole and rack up yardage up the middle. So he can pad his stats
May 30th, 2019 at 7:18 am
He don’t care about going to the playoffs or he would have signed with baltimore. Hes going to the highest bidder. If carolina said 10 mil he would sign today.
May 30th, 2019 at 7:46 am
The sophomoric shade you fools cast on a gentleman who played a game better than you ever could imagine, for fair wages you would probably do anything for, at Pro bowl level for more years than you can stand, with a level of class you cannot stomach is borderline ridiculous. Went from sad to hilarious and the rabidity reflects on you… not him. School is almost out. Hoping some of you graduate such that you act like juniors at a minimum. Most of them realize that calling someone out of their gender, making up trash about them for no real reason, and speaking behind a fake name with false bravado is a punk move. Queue the “we have a right…” morons… Go Bucs!
May 30th, 2019 at 7:51 am
I just don’t see it working in Carolina.
Scam Newton: Superman!
McCoy: Batman!
Scam: Superman!!
McCoy: Batman!!
Scam: Superman!!!
McCoy: Batman!!! etc…
May 30th, 2019 at 8:22 am
His ego is getting the best of him. Not worth the $10 mil plus. No team wants to pay that to a player who will not make very much of an impact and will disappear when the game is on the line. Most of his sacks came during garbage time when the Bucs were not capable of winning the game and the opposing offenses eased up.
May 30th, 2019 at 9:09 am
And people scoffed at BA when he said McCoy is not the player he used to be…
Seems the entire league knows it.
May 30th, 2019 at 10:00 am
Lamarcus..I’m still waitin on your supplier……
May 30th, 2019 at 10:44 am
Wait, so McCoy visits 2 teams and is visiting a third in just a few weeks and nobody wants him? Yet, Suh was a FA for a few months, but that’s ok? You all are F’n crazy. Either you all are smoking some good stuff or you all are drunk nonstop. The armchair GMs here are in full force with their idiot comments.
May 30th, 2019 at 10:47 am
Seems like teams are interviewing, kicking tires and hoping to get him on the cheap. Hold out Geraldweenie! Maybe you can find a sucker to pay you 8 mil!
May 30th, 2019 at 10:50 am
“The Ravens have sent a clear message, from the top of the organization, that they want to sign free agent defensive tackle Gerald McCoy.
Owner Steve Bisciotti said he hoped McCoy would become a Raven, after the 31-year-old defensive tackle visited the team Tuesday and Wednesday.
“I think that everybody out there has seen what he can do,” Bisciotti said during a conference call with PSL holders Wednesday evening.
“I think he’s a bit of a game-wrecker, and I think in this day and age, you need that kind of pressure on the inside. We’ve got some guys on the edge that are going to have to prove themselves. We’ve got two nose tackles, when you look at (Michael Pierce) and Brandon (Williams). He’s clearly a three technique. He brings something to the table that we don’t have.”” – Baltimore Ravens
