  • Several players made a splash during the initial red zone period. Running back Fozzy Whittakericon-article-link.gif continues to be in the middle of the action, stymied on a short route by Davis before coming back for a touchdown reception from Anderson over the middle. Whittaker, Samuel and fullback Darrel Youngicon-article-link.gif caught TD tosses over the middle near the goal line, but the defense controlled action outside of that window. Cornerback James Bradberryicon-article-link.gif broke up Anderson's last shot in the first red zone period, and on the next play, cornerback Captain Munnerlynicon-article-link.gif broke up Joe Webbicon-article-link.gif's first attempt. Recently signed quarterback Garrett Gilberticon-article-link.gif got just one snap in the period but made the most of it, hooking up with fullback Alex Armahicon-article-link.gif in the flat. Armah looked fully capable of finishing it off if live contact were allowed.

Woo Hoo! Armah made a play!

Anyone have any idea how Zeek Bigger has been doing?  He signed a 3 year deal yesterday.  (Panthers hold the option on all 3 years... ha)  Hoping for PS at minimum.

As an ECU alum, I'm also curious

I think PS is perhaps what we should potentially expect with the logjam we have at the LB position

Woo Hoo! Armah got himself a TD.

Sure would be nice to see Armah be a "project" that actually works out for us

He doesn't look like he'd be very much fun to tackle or have coming full steam ahead at you...

I totally agree.  The only glimmer of hope I see was with Klein leaving.  I think Zeek could beat out Mayo, if given a fair shot.

I believe he'll make the team due simply to the fact that he can play ST. His FB play would be an added bonus.

Well since there's only one other viable FB on the roster,  (Darrel Young, who also scored in the red zone today) and that they used a valuable draft pick on him, I would say that's a pretty darn good guess.

I think somebody in the media asked RR about him yesterday. Go check it out at Panthers.com. There are a couple  pics of Biggers up too.

Agreed it's a good guess.  I'd normally agree that since he was a draft pick he'd make the 53, but was also wondering if the Panthers might be thinking they could stash him on the PS for a year to let him develop (since he hasn't played FB in a long time) with very little to no risk of another team stealing him away.  Basically just because I don't think many people know about the guy, much less have film to study of him.  TC will be intriguing as always.

      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.
