And is he any part of the Steelers organization, like I stated? Nope. And what about all the other candidates he suggested. Many who can’t get a interview. Once again, you screen shot to remove what you didn’t want people to see. Why is that? They have interviewed 11 outside candidates. None were Samir. But Dan Morgan was. Again, why would a team that knew him well want to interview him. Either post the whole story you are referencing it save your time. Why such optimism for someone who has been highly incompetent in his time here? I’ve just given honest opinions of situations that have proven true from a franchise in horrible shape. This whole board is fed up worth the team. With good reason. Nothing is his fault? But he’s a “master negotiator”? How’s that work? So he could be replaced by a spreadsheet. Or a calculator and a ledger. Or just visit OTC or Sportrac?

Ahh.. How cute. As usual you just post a vague screenshot of what you want seen. Never what was actually said. So a fanboy writer calls him a master negotiator, based on what? His destruction of the Panthers cap since hired? And calls him a candidate because a writer just brought him up at the end of an article as a remote possibility? This are all the candidates they have interviewed. And their choice on the Panthers staff wasn’t Samir. The other external candidates who have been interviewed are Louis Riddick, Morocco Brown, Ed Dodds, Ryan Cowden, John Wojciechowski, JoJo Wooden, John Spytek, and Dan Morgan. The two internal candidates to be interviewed are Omar Khan and Brandon Hunt. The Pittsburgh Steelers have announced they’ve interviewed three more candidates to replace Kevin Colbert as the team’s future GM. As tweeted out moments ago, they interviewed the Ravens’ Joe Hortiz, 49ers’ Ran Carthon, and Eagles’ Andy Weidl You know how to post links. You just pull this screen shot BS when you’re hiding relevant information.

Nobody in the Steelers organization was worried one bit about him working somewhere else. And his performance since arriving in CAR is all the evidence needed.

Walter football take: Panthers re-sign TE Ian Thomas (3 years, $16.5 million; $8 million guaranteed): D Grade Matt Rhule styles himself as the Jay-Z of NFL head coaches, but this is a Silkk the Shocker-type move. There's no way Ian Thomas deserved anything close to this sum of money. Thomas hasn't logged more than 20 catches in any season since his rookie campaign. He's a good blocker, but blocking tight ends grow on trees. The Panthers could find a much cheaper option who could give them the same production.

Yep. He guaranteed 72M over the next two years. And he still hasn’t been suspended. If Jamies got 3 games for touching an Uber driver, what’s Deshaun Cosby going to get? Best case half a season. That’s a tough sell without giving up anything.

More of that salary cap “nInja” from the team’s cap “specialist”… .

And pointing that all out at the time, as we both did, was considered blasphemy. But the GMs always know better…lol

Exactly how it was assessed when it happened. Despite the claims it would be one of the best in team history because they finally got their LT of the future.

That’s because you haven’t got a clue. Contractual and 5 years of working together while sharing responsibility for Shanahan/LYnch. Here’s a recent article from the Baltimore newspaper(legit writers) that doesn’t mention Harbaugh’s name at all. Only Decosta. And I’ve been a Steelers fan for 46 years. Tomlin doesn’t have full roster control and doesn’t really want it. That’s not how the Steelers work. Especially since Colbert is still there and running the GM search. But hey, it’s obvious…..right? https://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/analysis/preston/bs-sp-preston-decosta-impact-players-20220208-xniklm66nbfrvg5fevqgzykwqa-story.html

I’ve got a contract and 5 years of sharing responsibility. You make up a story and claim it’s true “because you think so. Why did I get proof when all I had to do was make up anything I wanted? I’ll stick with facts. You call Disney.

Whatever helps you think you have a clue. Never let facts get in the way of a theory.

Doesn’t seem that way. About as shared control as it gets. https://www.nbcsports.com/bayarea/49ers/kyle-shanahan-best-equipped-make-critical-49ers-nfl-draft-choice?amp Contractually, Lynch has control of the 49ers’ 90-man roster, which includes trades, draft and free agency. Shanahan has final say over the cuts from 90 players to the regular-season limit of 53 players. CEO Jed York has plenty of experience with coaches and general managers who clashed. Therefore, Shanahan and Lynch each have a form of veto power. York’s main priority was to find a coach-GM pairing that can avoid the dysfunction that plagued the organization in the years before they arrived together in Santa Clara.

False. Only Belichek(and Rhule) have full roster control. The others do not.

And to be fair, medical recovery from knee injuries makes progress every year. His could be shot. Who really knows. But he recovered in the 6-month side of “6-12 months” on the second one. Had a scope which is nothing. And didn’t miss a game his last 2 years. To say his knee can’t hold up is a guess just like the speculation from the Doc. Mobility can be an asset, but it’s far from a requirement for success in an NFL QB.

Really? Just ACL tears. And people that thought he wouldn’t recover were speculating. Right? An actual Dr. thinks he has a good shot of being fine long-term, but they are speculating, while just saying 3 surgeries has him doomed as a fact. It’s a risk either way, but not a certainty. How many games has he missed?

So did Thomas Davis. And much more serious ones at that.

8M of his base salary for 2022 is guaranteed. Which is part of the guaranteed 20.5M he got for the extension. If they could trade him they don’t owe it to him. New team would. Along with his 2.8M roster bonus when he on the other teams opening day roster. Now if he were cut, they would have to pay the 8M and the 7.7M of signing bonus.

It’s true. Always has been. That’s not the problem. Finding a team that wants him at 13M for next year is. Much less getting anything more than a set of steak knives in return. Plus the team is still eating at least 7.7M in dead money for not one snap more than they had him for before the extension.

Sure. 2.5 carries a game(counting kneel downs) is comparable to Cam.

You mean the entire last decade? Because it’s been that long since he could move enough to avoid a pass rush. Brady, Manning(s), Rivers, Ryan, Flacco and Brees all seemed to do fine without running around before they threw the ball.

The void years are the 4 extra years(placeholders) so they could pay very little for Reddick and Paradis in 2021. Their contracts voided on about 2/10/22 and the whole total is due(HR-4M and MP 8.2M) towards 2022 cap. That ends it. Nothing else. But both sites make it confusing by amounts showing up in 2023. That isn’t how it works. Like dead cap, it’s due when contract ends/cut/trade. As for Darnold and RA, nothing besides traveling back in time and using common sense. That was your salary cap “ninja” at his finest once again. They sure don’t want to prolong those disasters.

It’s hard to be this wrong, but if anyone has proven it’s possible, you have over the years. They will be crippled and restructuring for years just to make a average, at best, roster. Just as the writer for OTC outlines in his article. Not too mention the Panthers only have 2 players they can realistically restructure, in Moton and Shaq(and he’s questionable). We won’t even start discussing the laughable comment about Reddick being good against the run…lol. Or whatever being able to play in the field means? https://overthecap.com/looking-at-the-saints-2022-salary-cap/ Of course this defers more to 2023 where the Saints currently have the 2nd worst cap situation in the NFL but the way the team has to work is to just go year to year until they flush more of the players out of the system who have been restructured over and over through the years. This is probably going to be reminiscent of the Saints 2014 to 2016 run where they were always top 5 in dead money and went 7-9 three years straight, except now they need to do that without Payton and Drew Brees on the team.
