Eric Berry expressed pessimism Sunday that he will be able to work out a long-term contract with the Chiefs ahead of Wednesday's franchise-tag deadline.
Berry is almost certainly going to be tagged, but he reiterated that he would rather sit out the season than spend another season on the one-year tender. "I still stand by that," he said. "I'm just being patient because you never know. I'm not getting my hopes up (for a long-term deal)."

We have the cap room, I'm confused by this.  

We also have about 15 free agents, and Eric Berry is more of a luxury rather than fixing a position of need. 

A move that makes sense going hard for is Cyprien, whom PFF graded the same as Berry. He's a SS that will fill in our need, Berry really isn't.

I'm sorry, but the majority of those 15 free agents, besides KK are trash.  So, if he spends the majority of the cap solidifying our "phenomenal" 6-10 players.  We've got more problems then I expected.

If we hope to sign KK and Star to long term deals that cap room quickly disappears especially if we have to tag KK. I would say that it is highly unlikely Berry comes to Carolina (although I would love it). It would limit our spend on other areas of need like OL and WR.

Star is only wanting between 7-8 million.  So, no.  That's completely wrong.

Well, we need depth, so of course those added $1-3 mil chunks will take off some of the cap. But still, we'll have enough to make a decent bid at FA.

Berry again is more of a luxury rather than fixing a position of need. Cyprien makes more sense in the fact he fixes our SS; Berry is a FS.

Give Star $8MM and then tage KK for $14MM thats almost half of that cap right there. Berry is going to get PAID and Getts wont be the guy to do it. 

We've got 43 million in cap room, currently.  Tagging KK would be 14 mill, which would be 29 mill in Cap room.  Another 8 for Star would make 31 million in cap room.  Is that really half of our cap?

Cyprien will probably be overpaid by the Jags to stay.  So they can look at other things in the Draft.  Cyprien is young and will get massively overpaid by someone.

Its half of the cap. $43M - $14M equals $29M, not $39M. 

The cap room really does disappear when locking up these players. I'm not sure if the $43M is factoring Mario Addison's contract as well...

I would love to get Berry, but someone is going to pay him big bucks and i dont see it being the Panthers.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      They said there wasn't clear evidence to warrant the overturn.  How would it have made a difference at that point in the game?   https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nfl-privately-admitted-to-erroneous-reversal-of-catch-by-panthers

      WWE pay per view and programming thread

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Me, I'm sick of WWE channel hopping their PLEs and shows. Netflix now with Raw. USA still has Smackdown but you can't get it with Roku if you don't also have cable. Then they went from all the PLEs on Peacock to ESPN+ which required upgrading your Disney+ package. Then they frikkin' move Saturday Night Main Event with John Cena's retirement match back over to frikkin' Peacock, which we'd just cancelled two months prior because no PLEs there anymore. And there are fewer, but longer matches and its the same danged stories again and again. Rematch after rematch after rematch between PLEs. Fewer matches, fewer wrestlers, more promos (of lesser quality) and less action.  It just seems like it's all fillers and re-runs. I'm tired of Cody Rhodes. I'm tired of Jey Uso. I'm tired of the two Brons. Shuffle the deck a bit guys, this game's getting stale.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      Chuba was 3 yards behind the 3 gap. He was lined up weak offset I. It was a 33 dive. Chuba needed to power through off of Ekwonu's block and slip off into the 5 gap where the Tremble had the lane sealed and Rick pulled the LB out of the 5 gap. Here's a visual if you need proof. Chuba did a jump cut laterally to the 2 gap on the right side with unblocked defenders crashing down and went airborne.   This is a 33 dive that should have been slipped off the block into the 5 gap. Chuba lacked vision, but you can see Rico and Bryce staring at the intended running lane sealed off by Tremble and Ekwonu. He should have read Ekwonu's block. The blocking and misdirection is NOT set up for the right side. The play worked. Chuba failed to execute on this play. Trust who you want to, but I wouldn't suggest you argue with the video. Anyone telling you this was drawn up to go right with the blocking did not analyze it. They are correct it should have been a called dive, and it was a called dive.  This was a weak offset I bringing Tremble in motion from the right to the left.
