Think it'd be a huge mistake to let Wegher go. He is the only back built for 20+ carries a game on this team - except for Stewart, but Stewart breaks down after 4-5 games.

We have to be honest here. Stewart will more than likely get hurt by the midpoint of the season. Wegher and CAP are the only backs that can take up his role. Every one else is a 3rd down, change of pace type running back.

Fozzy is a third down scat back. Far from complete. 

Why do you think they brought in 3 more running backs this offseason, one of which is an upgraded Fozzy. 

We ppicked up one RB(Todman). DG is bpa in the draft so CAP was bpa and Wegher was a good development player. He'll man we picked a 2nd round WR, a FA WR,  and a UDFA WR but that does not mean KB sucks.  It's about depth. 

Like it or not Fozzy is better than Wegher and playing time shows.

Well there's also Tolbert, frankly we normally keep just 3 pure HB with Tolbert as a HB/FB. 

I'm thinking they could keep 5, but I'm just not sure where they make up for it. Webb? 5 receivers? Not sure. 

I normally don't count Tolbert as a RB since they list him at FB, but yeah, keep him too. Gotta keep Webb too, and 6 receivers. My solution for keeping 'em all is in the post above- special unlimited roster just for the Panthers.

Fozzy is making the team, it's never been a question. Can't wait for the reactions. I think a grand total of 4 of us voted for Fozzy in that 'who will make the team' poll. For some reason people forgot all about him tearing it up in the playoffs because some dude was able to run on 4th stringers.

      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.
