At this point no matter what Hurney does, it will likely turn out to be a winning situation for Panthers fans.

Either Hurney pulls a rabbit out of his hat and the Panthers have a great season or he lays an egg and is shown the door.

What owner is going to spend 3 billion dollars for the Panthers and then allow Hurney to run this team into the ground for a second time?

Eagles pass rush is fantastic which will help Worley.  He might still suck when all is said and done but it will be a good environment for him.

Acquiring a young CB that still has potential and is still on his rookie deal is a great move for a cap team: especially when they turn a guy they were going to cut into said young CB and an upgrade at WR.

That is more of a "Roseman is good" than "Hurney sucks" comment as Hurney's job is to improve the Panthers and not worry about improving Philly; however, Torrey Smith just isn't that great and most teams just let guys who are going to be cut get cut and go from there.

The deeper we go into free agency, the worse this looks.

So Mike Wallace is up to 4 million and Torrey Smith is 5 million for a couple years that can be cut with no dead money. I honesty like Smith’s better, he is younger and I think has more potential. He was the fourth option in Philadelphia while Mike Wallace was the number one option in Baltimore, so his stats are going to be better because he is getting more looks... Even if people think the Wallace contract is better, it doesn’t mean Hurney did a bad job on this deal. The current Super Bowl champions GM could have just simply done a great job too...

      TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive.

      Teddy Checkdown in trouble

      I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
