Meanwhile, in Dallas...

 

 

Does he play for the Panthers?  Is he playing on the franchise tag?  Is there new elevator video showing a totally unrelated player cold-cocking his fiancé?  If not, who gives a f*ck.

   Denver is not exercising the 5th year option on Shane Ray after drafting Chubb

Doesnt look like he is in their plans.

Kid has the athletic ability and played 4-3 DE in college (been playing 3-4 OLB in Denver)

Wonder if itd be worth it to wave a future 4th-5th rounder for him

These are exactly the types of deals the Panthers need to jump on.

For whatever reasons, the Jaguars declined Dante Fowler’s 5th yr option. Probably due to off field but too talented and stayed away from trouble last season. Had his best season last year. 

 

Now, he’s someone I would like to look at.

He would be a good young pick up for us. Also he would play on the defense with a former teammate who I expect to have a big year in Bryan Cox Jr.

Yeah, I had forgotten this dude right here.

Was he on the practice squad last year or something? I heard  a few people say he may be a big surprise.

For a little bit. He played quite a bit, obviously not starting, but since Hall was IR’d immediately he played a bit. I think he and Hall will got a lot more rotations than people expect. That’s why I didn’t want a DE in the draft, especially since next year’s 4-3 DE class is better. We could easily get someone as good as Davenport late first. Anyway, not really much roster space without Addison, Peppers, Horton, Hall and Cox. Heck, Haynes may be listed as a LBer. 

Don't forget that dude we got from the international program last year. I thought he showed flashes in preseason so maybe he sticks this season. My sleeper pick for breakout at DE this year is Horton and if he does he will have damn sure earned it. He's been cut and resigned half a dozen times but the potential and yearly improvement is evident. If he can just get his pass rush to match his run stuffing, he "could" be scary in our rotation.

    • 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. 
    • 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.
    • 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.
