The Carolina Panthers seem to be in a bit of a spiral downward this season. After finishing 15-1 in 2015 en route to a Super Bowl appearance, a 4-8 record in 2016 isn’t what anyone expected. The losses would be bad enough, but as they pile on, other nasty things are finding their way out of the cupboards as well.

Take for instance franchise quarterback Cam Newton sitting over not wearing a tie when the team traveled. That sparked immediate outrage and conspiracy theories abound. Now retired wide receiver turned analyst Randy Moss is making some news of his own.

Moss threw out a really great sentiment for Carolina that could have been turned into quite the motivation. Moss, known for being a bit of a prima dona during his playing days does have a certain fire to him that helped set him apart from others. That fire could in turn be used to get the Panthers out of their funk.

According to Moss though, Carolina turned down Moss’ advances.

@LibbyWeihsmann ive sent the invite and thts wht frustrating!#egos — Randy Moss (@RandyMoss) December 6, 2016

Now this doesn’t clarify if Moss means an invite for the Panthers’ wide receivers to train with him during the offseason as one fan suggested. Or if Moss is talking about visiting the team to show off his inspiration. Either way though, it seems rather short sighted of Carolina to turn the guy down considering his Hall of Fame worthy career.

If Moss is indeed looking for wide receivers like Devin Funchess and Kelvin Benjamin to come train with him in the offseason, everyone should reconsider it this offseason. Neither pass catcher managed to have a good season, despite hype surrounding both during the preseason and training camp. Learning from one of the best wide receivers to ever play the game likely won’t hurt either one and could in fact kick start their careers.

None of the Panthers have responded to this yet, but it is just another question piled on top of what looks like mismanagement of things this season.
