According to Gantt, Jeremy Leman isn't on it. Unless he has been picked up and no one announced it, that is shocking to me. A guy with that kind of intensity and focus should at least be able to practice with the team. They could use it.

daringantt When Panthers put together practice squad today, it won't include LB J Leman. Apparently 40 times are more important than football plays.

I wonder if the team is just scared of having him on the field because he practices so hard. I know there were some comments about him being too aggressive in practice and risking injuriest to other players. Personally, I think they could use someone who plays hard.

I'm sorry but the way some of you have been acting over leman you would think he's a future hof player, but hes not, he's just a decent player at a position we are already stacked at. That's why he was cut.

Nobody is acting like that. We have taken notice that he has a high motor, and gives it his all when he is on the field. (unlike the organization)

I've seen a couple of interviews with the guy as well, and he seems really intelligent, and LOVES the game.

So no.....we don't need anybody like that on our team, we just need high priced, overpaid I don't give a sh1t's, that mope around, walk onto the field and off, take plays off, and that don't try when given opportunities I guess!

Being deep at a position is no reason to cut a guy like that, and not put him on the PS. Stuff like this always comes back to haunt us......so just wait.

      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.
