It made even less sense when they decided this was a rebuilding year. And it doesn't matter which came first- if you're rebuilding, you don't pay anyone that kind of money. Or, if you pay someone that money, you can't walk it back by saying it's a rebuild season.

That's not what I said. Top 5 salary average for a WR the last 5 seasons is almost $16M. If you tag a WR, whether he plays #1, 2 or slot makes no difference. Remember the TE a couple years ago when a TE tried to get WR franchise tag money because of the number of receptions he had? Top 5 average salary for a RB the last 5 seasons is about $8.7M.

Available defensemen: Cole, Smith, Slavin and Skjei I think Slavin and Skjei will be #1, with Smith and Cole each taking a youngster. Dallas is 10-7-2, but has won 4 straight against the Blues, Oilers, Avs and Coyotes. That's 3 quality wins in 4 games against better teams, so they'll be skating with confidence on home ice. And we can say hello to Jani Hakanpaa!

Never happen. WR franchise tag is nearly twice that of a RB. WR salaries are far higher than RBs. You are correct about coverage, though. He could routinely beat LBs, but nickel CBs will shut him down.

And it's a good Canes season to do just that.

He's a Cooper Kupp, Adam Thielen, Isaiah McKenzie type guy. But I doubt he'll be moved.

This isn't good. Bear doesn't come off protocol until Wednesday, which means he'll stay home when the Canes travel to Dallas. They'll be reaching out to Chicago for a few guys to complete the roster.

I think my wife has worn her 22 jersey on more Sundays than Christian has worn his .... jus' sayin'.

Meanwhile, this morning somewhere in the Caribbean....

I still love the game and will watch a good matchup, like yesterday's Packers-Rams game shaped up, but I was done with it by halftime. But I've become far more interested in hockey as a fast-moving sport with few clock stops and relatively few rules, not to mention a much easier salary cap structure to understand. I always enjoyed the game, but a Carolina Hurricanes experience a couple years ago really tipped the scale for me.

Looking back, that was probably the day after the draft in April.

At the end of the 2021 season the Panthers will have played 81 football games. McCaffrey will have played in 52 of those 81 (64%). He's beginning to approach Dan Morgan-like numbers. Morgan, if you'll recall, played in 59 of the 112 games (53%) on Carolina's schedule over his 7-year stint with the Panthers. To his credit, though, Morgan played in all 7 post-season games in 2003 and 2005.

Yeah, this is a tough stretch coming up: 11/30: @ Dallas 12/2: Ottawa 12/4: Buffalo 12/7: @ Winnipeg Jets 12/9: @ Calgary Flames 12/11: @ Edmonton Oilers 12/12: @ Vancouver Canucks 12/14: @ Minnesota Wild

Most likely see a huge improvement this bye week with zero chance to lose....

So, who's the top-rated DB in college?

Canes last 2 losses came at the hands of the officials at the end of the game.

Horrible officiating again. Washington loses this game with level officiating.

Washington doing their usual- they start getting out-played and then come the cheap shots. Martinook leveled Jensen.

Net front. Gotta get guys in front of Sam.

No benefit of the doubt no-calls from the refs today. That was a 50-50 at best.

Another wasted season trying to figure out their identity while rebuilding or not rebuilding- I don't think they know what they're doing.

Lemme check on that other team... oh, should not have done that. Newton 4 of 18 with 2 picks.... oh boy.

Fugging Wilson is nothing but a thug POS. Slashing the goalie. Fug him. Good on Smith to put him down.

The puck was well past the play and they call interference on Skjei?

Wait, Ovechkin didn't score the 2nd goal but he's the first guy to skate the bench?
