I still don't understand why they kept Vincent, who is older, over Hangartner.
vincent was better and a better fit for the oline. hangartner was a backup jack of all trades.

plus...we didn't cut hangman. his contract ran out and he was a free agent who 1) wanted a chance to start somewhere and 2) we didn't have money to sign.

vincent is under contract for a bit longer...actually for another year and for not very much either. vincent's contract with the panthers:

3/3/2008: Signed a two-year, $1.95 million contract. The deal includes $400,000 in bonuses. 2009: $820,000, 2010: Free Agent
in other words quite a bargain.

here's the contract for the hangman in buffalo...

2/28/2009: Signed a four-year contract. 2009: $1.9 million, 2010: $2.35 million, 2011: $2.55 million, 2012: $2.8 million, 2013: Free Agent
would have been hard to compete with that even without having to worry about peppers and hard to justify giving that to a backup.

      Sorsby and the supplemental draft

      I read that Pittsburgh is a possibility.  I think of college QB studs who had some form of mental quirk yet tons of talent--but their issue made being a team leader difficult and it led to their demise--going back:  Jamarcus Russell, Art Schlichter, Jeff George, etc. I think people forget that the QB must not only have talent, but they must lead.

      I wish I knew more details, but the NIL money to 20-year olds combined with easy access to gambling sites is a side effect that these kids may not have considered.  To your point,A famous 2009 Sports Illustrated article titled “How (and Why) Athletes Go Broke” estimated that 78% of retired NFL players go bankrupt or face significant financial stress within two years of leaving the league.  I am guessing that ego and $$$ and the thrill of competition (most pro athletes love competition because they are the winners) makes it a powerful temptation.  Throw in the ease of gambling on your phone which is always in your hand, and I see your point x 10.

      Freeling got some reps at RT when they gave Moton a rest day--I sorta hope Freeling gets brought along slowly as you describe.  It would be better for him for reasons you provide.  We have a really good problem.
