So one hasn’t played a snap, and one has a smaller sample size than Darnold who we are giving a pass.... got it.

Not giving a pass, just giving an opportunity. Most of the folks who make a living at evaluating talent say he would have been #2 in this draft behind Lawrence. If our coaches  can turn him around, we're golden. If not we have 2 years to find a replacement. The only difference is we would have 4 years to replace Fields.

Remember, many of these were first rounders--franchise saviors.

 

Only Fields, Haskins, and Schlichter were 1st round picks.

If he actually did get in trouble just a short 48 hours after getting a second chance, yikes!

Second chance?

A late first round pick, but a 1st rounder nonetheless.  

If Darnold is anything like he has been the past few years for the Jets, we'll be a bottom 7 team picking at the top of the 2nd round.

If you add up the other picks we gave up with a high 2nd rounder, it has the same 'draft value' as a late 1st round pick.

So Darnold may end up costing us a late 1st rounder, and a tremendous cap hit in his 5th year.  That is quite the gamble for a quarterback who has played at his level, regardless of his coaching.

 

You really want to be pissed off don't you? You should blame Rivera for letting his team lose to us like so many others.

Would someone give me a summary of what he said?  

Shanahan wants Jones. The rest of the org is trying to convince him Lance is the better options.

Jets will ultimately take a 3rd for Darnold. Panthers are still looking to trade up but Darnold is a backup plan.

What’s the point of cutting him now? We could’ve cut him before free agency, we didn’t. I don’t even know why this is being talked about. It’s wishful thinking. We have a better chance at Trevor Lawrence at 8 than cutting Teddy this year.

You draft a QB and cut Teddy next year without having any dead cap in 2022. Then you erase and burn every stupid memories of Teddy being a Panthers’ quarterback like it never happened. 

which simply is not true.  We will have $5 million dead cap in 2022 unless we cut him and take the hit now.

Cutting him new opens up slightly less than 3 million in cap space. That becomes a little less than 8 million with the June 1 designation which pushes the 5 million for his signing bonus to 2022.

Teddy will still hit us for $5 MILLION in 2022 from his signing bonus proration. The only way to avoid it in 2022 is to cut him preJune 1st this year (or convince him to pay it back)

I don't know why everyone thinks our draft picks will cost so much against the cap?  This is the offseason, only the top 51 players count against the cap.  So if you add 1 player that counts against the cap, you take the lowest guy that counts off the cap.  Rookies will probably count about 5 million against the cap, total.  Hell, rounds 5-7 won't count at all because they will not be as high as the lowest guy on the cap currently.

I never did for the asking price. It had nothing to do with the current allegations.

Couldn't find a summary tweet like with CMC, but here's the cached page from Spotrac:

And the updated one for Shaq:

 

Went from a cap hit of $14.18M this upcoming season to a cap hit of $6.828M, freeing up around $7.5M. Combined with CMC's restructure freeing up $5.638M, this opens up a little over a combined $13M

Just about enough to cover the Moton tag.

The Saints are $19M over the cap and in no way afford to mortgage the future by trading away the few picks they have and take on his checks notes 19 mil cap. 

Where'd you get $19M? I see $57M over on Spotrac. $62M over on OTC

I believe that would be Leotiger. He didn't say it, but clearly demonstrated it.

Multiple sources reporting that Kevin Colbert has said they're not currently negotiating with him. 

 

Huge cap hit incoming if he's released.

No, he's not an option for us.

$41 m + to keep him vs $22 M to cut him.

Eh, not being funny, but I doubt any trade includes a 'swap' for Teddy.  It would be cheaper to keep him as the backup or cut him after June 1.

Cutting him even after June 1 won't help much. Most if not all of his 2021 salary was fully guaranteed.

 

PS: Teddy Bridgewater Contract: Details on Panthers QB’s 3-year deal (usatoday.com)

Typing is not in my skill set so I won't pound out a long reply like some. My love for the Panthers is surpassed by none.

 

i'm not sure why these guys want to imply that their play-offs have started. We've met in the play-offs at their house.

A lot of good games mentioned. I liked the Rams double OT. Also the Cowboys playoff games (both). The "Annexation of Puerto Rico" game against Houston sticks in my head as well.

 

Has "smurfs" been ruled out?

If the NFL is correct, and Hardy is guilty of physically harming Nicole Holder on 4 occasions, then he should be banned from the NFL. 

 

I think you misread or maybe I did. They listed 4 different parts of this single incident. That all occurred in 1 confrontation.

 

All I have to add is 

 

Josh Brent - Intoxication manslaughter felony - 10 game suspension

Greg Hardy - misdemeanor Simple assault charges dropped - 10 games suspension

 

Makes sense to me.

Obviously the right decision. Now let's get Norman extended then CJ extended to bring his cap number down a sh*tload please. Sign Jennings and Ball, do work in the draft and get ready to be playing in Februrary.

 

I don't know how you define "a sh*tload" but IF CJ was willing to take a straight up pay cut all the way down to the vet minimum, he would still hit our cap for close to $11 million.  Start there and add in some more prorated bonus and guaranteed salary and you won't be saving a sh*tload in my book.

How? They didnt have the money to sign Murray but they have money to sign Hardy?

Based on the apparent lack of competition for his services, they'll get him pretty cheap.

Raiders are quietly becoming very competitive and will be a force down the road in the AFC. I absolutely love what they are doing. P Manning is probably going to never get another superb owl.

 

If you're looking for someone to monitor without injecting them self into the poo, I'm willing. Don't expect me to drastically increase my post count though.
