Mr. Scot

Only kinda sorta free agent related but damn...

Unrestricted free agent

If I were making a guess regarding this season, I'd say the Panthers probably don't pay him any money at all. Davis may have still been the technical starter, but the Panthers were pretty much running back by committee in the latter part of last year. The whole "we can replace McCaffrey with Davis" narrative wound up looking pretty silly. He's just not suited to carry a starter's workload.

Pretty sure Ryan's contract makes that damn near impossible.

Looks like it. Not sure, but that might be Fitterer behind Brady.

I get the feeling Newton's gonna have a lot better competition than Jarett Stidham this year. He still might win the job, but again, it's not guaranteed.

Legal tampering period doesn't start till Monday but stuff happens. From what I've been reading, I get the impression Davis isn't gonna be back. If he were signing with us, he wouldn't have to wait.

See the post before yours. And he's right. Newton will absolutely get the chance to be the starter, but he'll also very likely have competition.

Right now. Right now, Teddy Bridgewater is the starter for the Panthers. Neither of those things is guaranteed to still be true as of week one.

That's...not guaranteed. He may well be, but pretty much everyone acknowledges that the Patriots are still looking around at the quarterback position.

Sorry... Who are you again?

Or does it just seem that way?

Having seen his Senior Bowl pictures, that's accurate

I actually get that joke, but I wonder how many other people do

Technically, we've got one

Noon, according to Breer.

That's not a phrase I heard much back when I was playing (as the saying goes, "there's a reason you play defense")

Phil?

Kinda wonder if there haven't been some coaches drunk on the sideline too. I know I've seen some decisions from some of our past coaches that made me wonder

You could probably start a whole separate thread just to name camp superstars that never lived up to the hype.

People have tried. As it stands, it looks like he's still gonna be playing when he's 50

I get the feeling the two of them are going to play an equal number of games this year

Meanwhile, on the other end of the Brady-Belichick debate...

You watch. David Gettis will be great this year

Not sure where he's seeing it but Ellis is saying the deal contains no guaranteed money.
