Recently, I deleted my Facebook account to start my day with less doom and gloom and knowledge of all the bad crap in the world and overreactions in the media. I usually start my day with a healthy dose of the huddle. I love panthers football and I'm glad it's finally time for my Sunday's to involve real football and beer again. 

However, this place has become somewhat of a pit stop for doom and gloom lately. Not a lot of optimism, mostly because the fear that Hurney is out to destroy the franchise, which he may be. But You nor I have any control over that. If I remember correctly, when Kelvin went down in 2015, I was in doom and gloom mode as well as a lot of the huddle. I never expected the team to come out and run over teams the way they did. So basically, I wanted to make a thread to inspire optimism for a change. The panthers front office may be off their rocker, but the team is not. I believe Cam is ready, maybe a little rusty, but ready. I believe Luke is hungry to get back on the field and make up for lost time. I think Olsen is gonna make sure and prove his worth and go after those incentives pretty hard. Kelvin is in rookie season form after a season of going through the motion in fear of re injury. I am not sure what to expect out of our rookies but I can assure you that come Sunday, the Panthers begin a long season where at this moment everyone is 0-0. Nobody knows what to expect and nobody knows how teams are gonna perform. Just enjoy the moment that football is finally back. I have a rule at my home bar, where every time Ron smiles, we drink. Every time we score we drink. Every time we get a first down we drink. So in a nutshell, I plan on being pretty numb by games end. How about you guys? I'm excited! So I will beer every response to this thread. Here's to an awesome week one everybody!

I would have pied you but for the "he may be" out to destroy the franchise comment.

Knowing our history, and with everything that has gone on, it seems logical and rational to me to at least wait and see what we're actually dealing with before exclaiming "Bloody murder!" 

I'm at the point now of saying "Jump!"

      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.
