2nd Round Pick Kony Ealy DE


Kurb

Recommended Posts

I don't watch college football, but if this guy is a really good DE, then it makes plenty of sense. We won 12 games last year thanks in large part to a strong d-line. You can't afford to pay both Hardy and Johnson huge contracts into the foreseeable future, so you get this guy on a 2nd-rounder rookie contract for 4 years, and he gets one year to spell Hardy and Johnson and learn the ropes. Then, he takes over for one of them in 2015. I love it.

 

Not to mention that we already like to move DE's inside on passing downs, so now we're looking at the possibility of Johnson, Hardy, KK, and Ealy on 3rd and 10. Wow.

Relax guys, still 5 more picks and Godfrey jus saved us over 4 million in cap space till fill a need late in FA like he did last year...let's face it we can't support hardy and cjs contracts together hopefully one will restructure to stay but I highly doubt it...if not maybe we work out a trade to get us a career left tackle, it's much better than reaching for Moses or Richardson, there is a reason they are still on the board...

I doubt that any tackle left is not going to start immediately without growing pains.  With Ealy coming in and not needing to start he has time to learn and develop into a top tier guy.  This is exactly what you want to do with a rookie.  Bring him along slowly and let him learn from the veterans,  This was an excellent pick although I would snapped up Robinson in a New York minute.  Huess that is why I am on this messageboard instead of being in New York.

I don't think this has anything to do with CJ, no one of sober mind would trade for that contract.

I think it has more to do with Hardy. DG is likely saying that if your asking price does not come down, you will be replaced next year.

 

The point is one of them is gone.

    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ    
    • I don't know. CMC is like others and may have lip serviced that line of " I had no plan or wanted to leave Carolina" I think he even said he bought a house too and wanted this to be home.   Here's what I heard- In a way Panthers org gave him a test and he didn't "fight" back. They approached CMC and told him they wanted to put him on IR since the "season" was over or out of playoff reach. CMC didn't fight it one lick and agreed. They secretly wanted him to kept playing or want to, but there was no kickback. I honestly don't know if its real or not, 5th hand information type deal doing on. Yes he had bruises and pains, but was able to play...... but went along with Panthers staff. Odd to be playing games with star players, but whatever....   Plus the staff doctors found out about his tendinitis and there was nothing to fix it. Even with him missing time, it was the best move to trade him before he got inflamed constantly.    Lastly, its mostly time a combo of stuff, Fitterererere did not sign him to be the highest paid RB. That was classic Marty "give me a" herniay doing. GMs have different values on roster spots and rumor was Fitterererer was one that didn't want to pay RBs. For all his faults, he's right about that......
