Appears that B.Bell may be watching from bench if things don't improve

Everything I have been reading so far suggests that G.Williams is getting a good look at LT.Seems that Chandler is on the right side I guess and doing okay(at least his name isn't being mentioned)....last we heard was that Bell and Chandler where splitting time on the left side. So Williams is now getting the shot because Bell is showing poorly through OTA's and now mini camp.Maybe now RR is finally realising that he is not starting material. Bell is a nice guy it seems but he better get used to a back up roll....seems that's the way it's going.

I can guarantee y'all that he starts if not LT, RT. So people might as well get use to it for at least this season if not more.

This is just as speculative as the OP. Both of you are guessing. But hey, what else is there when the team is so tightlipped.

I don't expect Rivera, or Gman to give us a heads up on what they are thinking/planning. So you guys are as close as we are going to get until the season starts and we find out for ourselves.

They aren't even in Spartanburg yet.  It's way too early to start guessing the depth chart based on reps.

it's a shame that we are going to have to wait until spartanburg to see who wins out. that, in my book, is a fail.

 

we should be going into TC knowing who the starting OL is so they can be getting their reps and hit the ground running as a unit.

 

TC needs to be all about the OL gelling, not try outs to see who is going to be on it.

      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.
