Newton is not Luck or Wilson, long term deal should factor in his style of play

Gettleman is thinking 3-4 years down road

Building strong D first avoids slings and arrows on offensive side of ball

Salary cap dictates one side of ball must be young. Math dictates that.

*this is all I could dictate while multitasking on a sales call. Somebody else fill in.

Thinks Gettleman is doing a tremendous job of adding young talent and drafting

Panthers need to stay the course and they will be fine

Ron Rivera has done a tremendous job

Cam has to play at high level at the biggest times so we can contend

Polian is bullish on Panthers.

Calls Panthers a great organization ran by people that know what they are doing

Definitely thinks we can and should pay both Cam and Luke

Cam needs to continue to grow

I'm fine with building a strong defense.

But if you're going to clear out Newton's entire WR core and make his #1 WR a rookie in the same offseason that he had ankle surgery, all while heading into a contract year, you can only blame him so much for the circumstances you put him in.

Yeah we ended up winning the division and a playoff game, but those blowout losses should not be so quickly forgotten. One of the main reasons for those losses was the lack of firepower we had on offense. That's okay if your defense is picking up the slack, but that wasn't happening early on. Even in the playoffs when our defense had returned to form somewhat we still allowed Wilson a near perfect passer rating on 3rd down. Again our offense did not have the firepower to keep up. If our goal is to win the Super Bowl, which it obviously should be, we need to do all we can to keep improving our offense. The "well all we have to do is replace this number on yards and we're good" approach was laughable then, and it was even more laughable when we were getting shithoused by teams like the Vikings last year.

Yeah signing Ginn is a start, but we definitely need another receiving threat, and it looks like it will have to be through the draft.

Hmmm, I wonder what exactly he is going on here? Clearly not our records/wins, or cap management, coaching/play calling

Unless he's saying NOW they're run by people who know what they're doing in which case I wonder how he knows that after two seasons.

Or maybe he's going on moral victories and players in which case we kick ass.

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
