This was sadly inevitable. The NFL has things set up every severance has to go to arbitration. There's collusion between the owners, so no coach has the leverage to cut a better deal. On top of this, Tepper is a jerk.

Matt Rhule files arbitration lawsuit against Panthers, seeking $5 million: Source
Former Panthers and current Nebraska coach Matt Rhule filed an arbitration lawsuit against Carolina last week, a league source confirmed to The Athletic. CBS’ Jonathan Jones first reported news of the suit. Here’s what you need to know:
- Rhule is seeking roughly $5 million and claims the franchise owes him money after firing him five games into the 2022 season, according to multiple reports.
- The grievance would be heard by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell or his designee, according to a source.
- Both the Panthers and NFL declined to comment on the lawsuit.
Backstory
Carolina went 11-27 under Rhule and owed him more than $40 million from the seven-year, $62 million deal he signed ahead of the 2020 season. However, his contract included offset language that allowed the Panthers to recoup some of the money if he took another job. Rhule was hired as the head coach of Nebraska in November and signed an eight-year deal.Steve Wilks was named interim head coach after Rhule’s firing, and the Panthers hired Frank Reich as head coach in January.

Arbitrator should award Rhule 49% ownership of the Panthers to send a message to Tepper.

I think it’s safe to assume the reason it took so long to sign Rhule was the Panthers playing hardball.

Why'd they waste their time playing hard ball when they could just not pay him like this?

I’m assuming their justification for not paying him changed when the numbers changed but hell if I know.
Should I switch my NFL fandom!?!?!?

Hell yeah! Come join the Buccaneers band wagon. It's pretty empty now that Brady is gone.
