Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper strolled right up to punter Michael Palardy during Wednesday’s practice and started jawing.
Initial guesses might presume the reason for this was because Palardy’s contract was extended through 2021 on Tuesday night.
A source told the Observer on Tuesday evening that Palardy’s three-year extension is worth $7.52 million, and came with a $2 million signing bonus.
And, well, “big money” guys have to stick together.
In actuality, Tepper was joking with Palardy about a video and series of photos the Panthers specialists shot on Tuesday afternoon, which mimicked the “awkward family photos” series in the Will Ferrell movie “Step Brothers”.
