just edged in there by a cool 60 seconds.  Congrats brotato.

 

here's the snippet:

CHARLOTTE – The Panthers have added depth to the secondary, signing safety Trenton Robinson to a one-year contract.

Robinson spent the past three seasons with Washington, starting a career-high seven games and recording one interception in 2015. His season was cut short after a hamstring injury landed him on injured reserve and he was later released.

Robinson's career totals include 38 games played, 88 tackles, two interceptions and four passes defensed.

The former Michigan State Spartan was originally a sixth-round draft choice of the San Francisco 49ers in 2012.

Robinson is just the tiniest bit better than Goldson. His coverage grade of 43.9 ranks 81st out of 85 safeties, and his run defense grade of 33.1 is the second worst. He’s missed two less tackles (so he still 10 missed tackles), but he’s only made eight run stops. So, there is one thing that Goldson beats him at. Still, not good; especially for the Redskins, whose entire midfield made this team.

So there's that. Was injured shortly thereafter and did not play in the game against us. He is short at 5'9" but he is also fast for a SS running a 4.52 at the combine. I'd be pretty surprised if this guy makes the 53 assuming we draft a another safety and Marlowe makes the team.

Eh, he's referring to idiots on twitter. Most everyone on here understands that depth signings are needed to fill out the back end of the roster. I don't see anyone here questioning why we signed this guy since it is no doubt for the minimum and he could be cut if he sucks with basically no penalty except whatever paltry signing bonus he gets staying on the cap.

Why?

At least I had heard of Gradkowski and Soliai, and I know they're worth their weight in gold. This guy? I am assuming that he is really a diamond in the rough, insurance if things don't work out in the draft, and/or adequate depth behind Boston and Marlowe.

    • Right, so basically what I said in my first post about this last night. Tepper needs to use that big wallet of his in one of the few ways it can be used in the NFL given the cap.   Give Scourton a bigger signing bonus but not a fully guaranteed deal. Everyone wins in that scenario as if Scourton is smart and hires good money people, he'll take that bigger signing bonus and use it to make more money in the end over the next 4 years than if he just had his fully guaranteed deal and a smaller signing bonus.
    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ
