Goes back to my theory that teams that are able to draft a good QB, and have them play on a rookie deal, are going to be pretty successful for a while as they can spread out the money.

 

 

Most of the SB winners lately have been QB's on rookie deals, or lower deals.

They're going to be cap strapped eventually...

I think I heard that the contracts of Thomas and Sherman are front-loaded so they are getting their money up front which will allow the Hawks to re-sign Wilson... but what about Wagner?

I guess they could cut Lynch next year to save some money.

 

They have arguably the best secondary in NFL history locked up until 2020. As long as they continue to draft well and find good talent in the UDFA pile they should be good to go.

Well, that's a massive contract.  My prediction - Sherman blows out his ACL in a meaningless pre-season game going for a tipped ball in the end zone while concurrently trash talking the receiver about how he's the greatest player in the history of the NFL.  Seattle fans everywhere weep for days.

Most of the teams that have locked up their QBs to hundred million dollar contracts have proceeded to not get to the Super Bowl with them.

 

Likewise, it seems to me that when you see a guy get huge money like this (Revis, for example) the next thing you watch is their downfall.

 

Coincidence or trend?

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
