Last chance to prove it
For a number of Panthers, Sunday could be the last time they suit up in black and blue.
After the season concludes on Sunday, 14 Panthers will become unrestricted free agents, including big names like cornerback James Bradberry, safety Tre Boston and edge rusher Mario Addison.
With that being said, Sunday against the Saints will be the last opportunity for players like Bradberry to make a case for a big contract come 2020, whether that’s in Carolina or elsewhere.
“I feel like I’ve put enough film out there, I’ve done what I needed to do to put myself in a good position going into free agency,” Bradberry said. “It’s going to be my last opportunity playing with some of the guys on this team. It’s just the nature of the beast, so I’m looking forward to going out there, giving my all for those guys, and us having fun in our last one.”
After having played on four teams in four years, Boston has learned not to focus on what comes next, but instead, to enjoy what’s guaranteed.
“I’ve just got to go out there and play for my guys. We’ve got one last game,” Boston said. “Free agency is going to come, it hasn’t gone the way I wanted it the last two years, so I’m not going to just go in here and play for free agency. I put all the film out there, I just want to play for my guys and have fun, because you never know when it’s your last time playing with some of these guys.”
It was clear from the start of the season that this would be a “prove it” year, and Sunday marks the last chance to do just that.
