Anyone know who's behind @NFLDraftBites?

I saw a couple of interesting tweets.  Just wondering who this is, and if they have any credibility at all.

From Panthers Source- offseason about helping Cam. We're out of cap purgatory & can spend. We like Remmers, but will sign starting tackle

Kids- I know ya'll 'Question' my sources... Panthers prepared to extend Luke Kuechly- 8 Yrs 75M before Cam Newton. Luke drafted yr after Cam

Extending Luke before Cam is no knock against Cam, but the media will spin it that way. Luke is an ELITE MLB in the league. Possibly #1 overall. Cam is an above average QB at this point, but he is our future and we all, Gettleman included, have all the confidence in the world in him. The thing with Cam is he's a QB and will demand a contract that is roughly 30-40 Million MORE than the highest contract an MLB will ever get. 

 

It makes sense to lock Luke up first because it could very well be the cheaper option.

Maybe Cam will sign for 8 years 115 million

I'm not saying I agree/disagree with the notion of the tweets.  I'm just wondering if anyone knows who's behind the account, and if they even have "Panthers' sources."

I think its a great idea to sign luke first to give an idea of what the cap space will look like with both of them. We have to keep this core, we can let go of a few but the stars literally have to be retained to continue the dominance in the division. If we can get luke and cam for around 150 between the two that would be great.

8 years 75 million is pure comedy. that is playing with your GI Joes kind of stuff.

You may wanna wrap your head around the fact that it'll be closer to 200+ for both of them than 150

does this account have any kind of track record of success

 

i'm skittish about all of this stuff now after that random ass twitter account broke the news about star's foot like 12 hours before anyone else

[Kuech the Sneak]

I hope the first tweet is true

[NJPanthers12]

He tweeted months before it happened that the panthers were in cap trouble and really liked Chandler and would prob look to extend him cheap. A few months later that is exactly what they did. Hadn't seen whispers of that anywhere else.

[Jangler]

The Illuminati. duh

[MichaelNewtonII]

Kuechly isn't just elite, he's the best linebacker in the league

[Montsta]

8 years $75MM would be a great signing. Luke is what maybe 23 or so?

Basically makes him a Panther forever but could be structured at maybe:

6

7

8

9

10

11

12

13

By the time he counts over ten mil. against the cap it will have gone up a bit I'd bet, and at no point is his number so big that you ever have to have the cap casualty conversation. Maybe $40 of it guaranteed?

I know that would never happen and if he got hurt (Beason) then you'd be fuged, but it's fun to explore the idea.

The best MLB in the league for an average of 9M per year for almost a decade? That's not bad. And like you pointed out, maybe a little over half is guaranteed. I am so ok with this.
