Yeah, yeah, yeah... I know; it's another speculation thread, but it's better than sitting around talking about Greg Hardy all day.

 

According to Andre Johnson himself, he is unsure of if he wants to return to the Texans and may seek a potential trade.

 

As of right now Johnson has no plans to participate in Houston's mandatory offseason activities or mini-camp and it seems as though he is taking his time collecting his thoughts.

 

Johnson was quoted as saying the following: "Now I'm on my third head coach, that's something I give thought to," Johnson said. "I just look over my career, is it a place? I've only been to the playoffs twice. I think we've only had three winning seasons, two 8-8 seasons. I don't think any player wants to experience that.

 

Johnson is 32 and on the tail end of his career (maybe three or four more years), but he might be someone worth checking out if the price is right.

 

Another thing to factor in his how great of a mentor and guide Johnson would be for KB.

 

What do you say, stay away or check it out?

Not to burst our collective bubble, but we've never had back to back winning seasons. If his problem is consistent winning, why would he come here?

 

We're a team on the rise, we have weaknesses but our weaknesses get blown out of proportion because those weaknesses are so bad (like LT and RT).

 

Overall, there's not much of a difference between this years team and last years divisional team (talent wise).

It would be an interesting kick the tires kind of thing, but as previously mentioned Hardy would have to be traded this offseason... or some maneuvering around a few contracts like DeAngelo William's and another small contract.

 

According to Over the Cap the Panthers are $5 mil under the cap, cutting D-Will right now saves $4 mil for this year bringing that total to $9 mil and Johnson's contract for this year is at $10 mil (I think).

      In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
