I have no idea with the current agreement what the Titans can do to get Panda in line. I know they can fine him for missing meetings, camps, etc. but not for partying.
Goodell can fine/suspend for "tarnishing the shield" but if he did that for every player filmed at a strip club, half the NFL would be suspended.
Looking at the cap hit the Titans will have if they release Panda, it makes more sense to reach out to his "people" who influence him. His family and agent should be able to explain how much he's leaving on the table in 4 or 5 years for the decisions he's making now.
JRob needs to offer to get him a psychologist, trainers, etc. after this season if he's willing to get himself right. If he's unwilling to improve himself, I keep him instead of releasing him just to ruin any future NFL career he might have.
This is the voice of reason. Cutting him is a terrible business decision and a complete overreaction. Right now he is looking like a total screw up—obviously. But it doesn’t appear he is hurting the team in any way or that he is some major distraction. And cutting him will cost us money not save us money the next two years. So the smart move is to do everything you can in the off season to turn him around and try to save the draft capital you invested. You do this until cutting him makes financial sense or he becomes a detrimental distraction to the team. That is the smart play.
