At the beginning of the 2013 season, I purchased a Panthers battle flag. Flown proudly over two seasons, I learned that the material and construction is not meant to endure the elements well. At the close of last season, I noticed it was time to replace it. Despite the insistence of the  ol' lady, I rolled the flag up on it's pole and tucked it away into the corner of the garage with intentions of replacing! 

Fast forward to Sept. of this year, first week of to be exact, I was cleaning the garage, clearing out old racing parts and gear when I noticed "the flag." It seemed to be in a little rougher shape for it's clip eyelet had torn and it was stained somewhat from tire prepping chemicals.

The wife is a neat freak and would despise the idea of this ugly rag flying on the front of our porch. But, would I be able to get another flag in time? I had 4 days before the start of the season, not to mention I was in thrash mode for an upcoming race. "Fug it!", I thought as I proceeded out of the garage and poled that ugly ass flag by the steps of our house!

I will chance divorce before a Panthers flag is absent from my home during the NFL season. It's ugly! It's torn! It's stained! It's broken! It's at 0 mast! It's still flying and epitomizes the 2015 Carolina Panthers. It's purrrfect!

      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.
