Wait a Minute.. Does this Haplo guy know anything about the Panthers? We are a Defensive team. We buy low, sell high, we shop at the Dollar store. Im not worried about our WR, most of them will be gone next year, so it dosnt matter. Luke is the future, not some 5th stringer WR.

I'm surprised none of you are concerned about our WR corps. Like resigning a LB that was already on the roster is going to catapult the team to the superbowl. It's okay to suck as long as Kuechly is the highest paid MLB, right? I hope you know we not gonna win the division with 7 wins again.

RR said our WR issue is media-hype and though I know it's kinda coach-speak, this would be a game where we should have good success and our passing game could really get going.

will be a great warmup for our I-line to settle into what's to come. Just don't want this young group to manhandle the Jags and get comfortable and getting big-heads.

perfect test to start out the season...especially considering we are accustomed to slow starting teams at the beginning of seasons.

Dude...people being concerned about our WRs had dominated discussion here basically every day since KB went down.  It is a concern.

Luke is the best LB in the game.....and super young.  Locking him up was a no brainer.  Maybe his NEXT deal people can debate it some more.  This one was a no brainer.

CRA...this really isn't aimed at you in particular, because I agree, our receiving corp is an enigma and mainly an untested group...so...don't take this as a slight towards you.

In no way, shape or form do I see our FO depriving or neglecting the offense. Before KB went down/watching Brown's numerous drops, we were looking at having one of the best receiving corps we've had as a unit in a loooong time.

The fact that we stashed Bersin on the PS, even with KBs injury speaks volumes about our current group and should keep the naysayers at bay...at least until we see these guys in action.

as far as Luke goes, he's the NFL's modern-day Jack Lambert with quicker reaction time. He is our Ray Lewis and no way does Baltimore win two Super Bowls without him as their defensive captain.

      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.
