Yea still think we could have taken a flyer on a QB seeing some of the names that were not drafted till late. Bryce played much better after he was benched and came back

Took my cat in for a routine vaccine today. One shot. Bill came to $46. They charge $19 for the appointment, $7.00 to dispose of the needle ( supposedly a biohazard) and $20 for the actual shot. All performed by a vet helper. And from what I hear talking with other folks in my area other vets are charging similar prices. Really pricing folks out of being able to afford to have a pet let alone more than one.

49ers 2nd rounder just signed with 9million of the 10million guaranteed, He was drafterd 43rd overall.

why is the world would the bengals trade him?

How is he catching 77% of his targets? How is it his fault that he's being asked to carry more of a burden than he should be at this point in his career. I already said it was a result of poor roster building. But for people to be mad about Adam Thielen for this is just misplaced. Don't be mad about an aging veteran signed to be a steady presence, mentor, and probably #3 option at WR on the field for not being a stellar #1.

If Thielen’s mentorship leads to XL being a reliable pass catcher, it will be worth every penny of his contract. Ask yourself this, who else is going to help him? It’s a crowded room and every WR is fighting for play time. They don’t play this game for funsies. There is serious $ on the line for these dudes. They can’t afford to be buried on the roster come contract #2 time. This is their shot. I’m not saying the intentions are nefarious, but there is contract money riding on play time for these dudes. Coker has #2 square is his sights. better believe that. Why would he help XL? Would you? Moore? Nah. JAG. Horn knows he’s a fringe WR. He used to hustle neighborhood kids in to racing growing up. I don’t see him being the helping kind. Hunter? He’ going to be too busy battling Coker for the #3 spot. There is literally no better person for the mentor role for XL than Thielen.

but...isn't that sort of highlighting WHY we are moaning about AT? Right now our primary weapon (based on offensive reps, targets, etc) is an old slow WR who we overpay that doesn't really get open nor do anything with the ball in his hands. and we are at the bottom in spending in terms of pass catchers. Maybe the front office shouldn't of arranged the roster so that it is only .....AT (debating retirement) and cast of unproven hopefuls youngsters. I mean, the AT complaint is really not about AT. It's about the front office.

I'm encouraged and confident the Panthers won't be the worst team in the NFL next year.

North Carolina is about to make it illegal to camp in left lane and create bottlenecks. https://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/state/north-carolina/article310796985.html

Huh? The ocean is not even remotely close to 50% sewage. It’s clean.

You're still hamstringing the cap at the end of the day.

Yea its iffy. It would be difficult to implement without moving to a soft cap/luxury tax model like NBA and MLB. NHL pulled off guaranteed contracts with a hard cap, but I don't think that's realistic outside the NHL. I don't think a luxury tax model would be good for the product, even if its good for the players. Even though we would probably benefit from it because Tepper would be like the dude who owns the NY Mets now.

I feel like i was sufficiently ready for this post

Exactly. It’s not about the number of dollars. It’s about cap allocation %. We got plenty of room for his salary and he’s gone after this season.

This is where I feel like Tepper can throw his big wallet around to solve a problem. Scourton was the 19th pick of the round, even if a few more teams give fully guarantees, I can't see them all getting it. So don't give him the fully guaranteed deal, but give him a bigger signing bonus than his slot normally would get. It might piss off other owners for setting a new precedent of giving bigger signing bonuses, but it would help stop the fully guarantee precedent the agents are trying to make.

I'd rather see what Scourton and Princely can be that bring on cheap contracts than bring in another rookie edge rusher who would need 1st round money.

Where we tank in cap spending for the 2025 season by offensive skill position group: QB - 25th RB - 16th WR - 21st TE - 27th Folks, there's PLENTY to bitch about with the Carolina Panthers but bitching about overpaying a veteran backup QB and a veteran WR when the entire rest of the roster in those positions groups are on rookie contracts... I mean... LOL

In the years since AT has been here, our defense have been BAD. Yet he's the reason we're losing now? This is great readying guys!!

Looked all over and can't find out if we signed him or not.
