I read something earlier that they may be considering a move to a 4-3 because they are too thin at LB to continue in a 3-4. I think thats crazy talk since we are 7 days away from the first game, but maybe an extra first helps with that next year.

There's one obvious reason it doesn't make sense....we're one week away from the first game. But....

Rumor was New England was the team Pep really wanted to play for

New England just freed up a bunch of money, and maybe Belichick wants Pep's overall explosiveness and thinks he can get another 2004 out of him. Maybe in their mind they get a more productive player AND a first round pick in 2011.

Fox might want to get rid of a player who didn't want to play for him (wondering if he's rubbing off on this defense with his attitude) and Lord knows what the Panthers could get from NE.

It's a longshot, but....damn that was a weird trade on New England's part.

      TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive.

      Teddy Checkdown in trouble

      I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
