Easily my favorite move of the day so far.

This is the type of guy that scares me. Undersized and was basically a low level rotational guy until finally showing up in a contract year. Hopefully he was just a late bloomer but he looks like the prototype FA bust.

You need backups too. Right now we don't even have that. LOL

They better spam picks at OL like Dave Gettleman did at CB after yanking the tag off Norman

Meanwhile, a year after going to the Final Four NCSU fired Kevin Keatts.

We've fielded some pretty trash safeties, but man... THAT guy...

I'm not broke up about not paying a DL $28M per year especially given that the draft is DEEP in DL this year.

About to see the Darnold of old in that situation. Good for him for cashing in on a good season in a great situation.

Typical Panthers safety. I don't know why we want undersized LBs playing safety in today's NFL.

Definitely for 25 year olds. There's no bargains shopping for guys in their prime. Contenders sometimes get bargains with aging vets ring shopping but bad teams don't get bargains ever.

I think it signals that we think the odds of him being there is slim to none. I'd still take him if he was but ultimately I expect him to be gone and I think we draft more of a NT type after the 1st.

Gonna have to agree to disagree. Tremble is the type of contributor you want on a rookie contract or off the waiver near veteran minimum. As far as age goes, it's really not a relevant factor on a two year contract.

The "nothing burger" bad decisions accumulate to create David Tepper's Panthers.

Didn't apply. Didn't want to go and knew I couldn't afford it anyway. Wake offered my broke ass $5k. UNC offered me not a cent. LOL

I mean, betting on Tepper's Panthers to field trash has been free money.

I wonder how many games we've been favored in since Tepper bought the team? I bet the number is in the single digits.

Well, let's hope he stays healthy. History suggests otherwise but we'll see...

And still yet Tremble level players will get signed for vet min after final roster cuts.

Except in your scenario Darnold on the tag makes a lot more sense than the ghost of what used to be Aaron Rodgers

It's significantly outpacing inflation at the figures your government wants you to believe.

I'm gonna be honest, these contracts are causing my interest in the sport to diminish. The contracts keep increasing exponentially and so do the ticket prices, merchandise, concessions, etc. while the typical fan is falling behind vs. inflation. I'm a football junkie but at some point I'm going to force myself to to lose interest in the billionaire play things. I'm getting pretty fuging close. Hell, I'll just watch local HS football to get my fix because college football is going down the same path. https://www.nfl.com/news/bills-reigning-mvp-josh-allen-agree-to-six-year-deal-worth-330-million

We keep drafting athletic wonders who can't play football and we can't figure out why it's not working. Unfornately Shemar Stewart had David Tepper's Panthers written all over him. We might as well just start signing guys off the Olympic track and field squad.

Why in God's name would the Vikings want Rodgers??? They just spent a top 10 pick on McCarthy and they're letting Darnold walk who played really well for them. Rodgers would've been exciting five years ago. Not so much now.

Yep. Given their situation they honestly should've traded him. They need to be trying to acquire talent on rookie contract while they work through this Watson contract anchor around their necks. They need draft capital on top of draft capital.
