Beason tells Newton to stop being childish


Mr. Scot

Oh shut up. This has become a broken record. People will handle things the way they want to handle them. We're not all wired the same. If this is on your list of worries, you have a little too much time on your hand. Would it make people feel better if he walked out after a win? Mountains out of molehills. Him staying at the podium or changing his dress doesn't have any bearing over what's going on on the football field.

I love Beason, still do- wish we could have found a role for him on this team because I think he's a great leader 

Someone has to tell Cam to suck it up- you can be mad, you can pout, but part of being the MVP of the league and QB of the team is talking to the media. It's not fair, but it's part of the job

Beason is trying to get his name out there in the media game.

Best easy route to do that? Throw Cam Newton under the bus.

I like Jon, but I don't give a flying fug about press conferences. It damn sure isn't going to make me feel better about being 1-5. All this "act like a man" bs when the guy literally regularly carries this franchise on his back on the field makes me laugh.

    • From what I gather, sure it allows you more room in that you can manipulate the cap more due to smaller prorated amounts to fit salaries in, but for cap purposes, you're still on the hook for the money at the end of the day.    "ChatGPT You said: What are the advantages for NFL teams to sign larger signing bonuses? ChatGPT said: NFL teams often use large signing bonuses as a strategic tool in contracts. While they cost real cash up front, they offer several advantages, especially when it comes to salary cap management, player retention, and negotiation leverage. Here's a breakdown of the benefits: ✅ 1. Salary Cap Flexibility Signing bonuses are prorated over the life of the contract (up to 5 years) for salary cap purposes. This allows teams to spread out the cap hit, even if the player receives the money immediately. Example: A $20M signing bonus on a 4-year deal counts only $5M/year against the cap. ✅ 2. Attracting Top Talent Players love signing bonuses because they're guaranteed money paid up front. Offering a bigger signing bonus can sweeten the deal without inflating yearly salaries. ✅ 3. Front-Loading Real Cash, Not Cap Teams with strong cash flow can pay big bonuses now while minimizing the immediate cap hit. Useful for teams trying to build around rookie QB contracts or with flexible cash budgets. ✅ 4. Locking in Key Players Larger bonuses make it harder for a player to be released early due to dead cap consequences. This can create more job security for the player and roster continuity for the team. ✅ 5. Leverage in Restructures Big signing bonuses create future cap hits via proration. Teams can later restructure deals (e.g., convert salary to bonus) to create even more cap space. ✅ 6. Competitive Edge In free agency, a team offering more guaranteed cash up front often wins the bidding war, even if the total contract value is lower than another team's. ⚠️ Key Caveat: Large signing bonuses increase dead cap risk if the player is cut or traded early."   I think that roster bonuses can be a useful tool if you're trying to keep players in by manipulating numbers and spreading the hit over time, but I don't think that it's something that you want to use unless it's "necessary." I don't know that you want to get into signing rookies on roster bonuses, as the bust rate is relatively high.    
    • not even if that team in New Orleans disbands before the first game.  Saw one 2026 mock that had them drafting first next year.
