Mike Wallace is over 250lbs. Glad we skipped.

Wait... the tweet you posted said “If” he weighs 250 not that he did. Or are you leaving out the fact he ended up failing to get the bonus as well?

Well either they put that there for a reason, or it's just a creative cap trick.

This time last year the Panthers were trotting out a 300 pound wide receiver so uh

Yeah someone read this wrong. He isn’t 250 lbs. he is listed at 200. The contract says he must be under. 250 lbs. to get the bonus. Basically it’s there So he can get an easy bonus because it’s very hard to gain 50 pounds in a offseason. Also bonuses count against the cap differently so it’s possible it was written in to help save cap room.

It seems weird for them to write in a conditional guarantee like that if there was no cause for concern. Is that common practice? Does CMC, Byrd, Munnerlyn, etc. likely have something similar written into their contracts?

I mean I get that there needs to be some incentive to keep these guys in shape during the off-season, but even so, 250 pounds seems like an awfully high bar for Mike Wallace. Plus, if this is common practice, why is Adam Schefter tweeting about it like it’s newsworthy?

It was specifically arranged to get him some extra cash that works around the cap. Basically something that was agreed upon only because the weight was so preposterously high

      I will absolutely lose my sh!t if this happens.  Arch and Moore go in the top 5. Mestemaker goes #8.  In this mock we have a chance at QB4 in what some are calling a generational QB draft and they have us taking a freaking DT at #10.  Sayin, Carr, Mensah and Sellers are ALL still available.

      I thought about this schedule, and it is brutal. That said most of the games we played against caliber teams we either won or were in the game, minus the New England game. We'll have a much-improved defense and if we can somehow get Brazzell incorporated into the offense and one of our TE step up we might have a nice offense. So, I say we should be in most of these games.  Predicting the outcome of these games so soon after the draft before we even have OTA is just guessing so I won't predict.

      Same here, and I've been one of the biggest anti Bryce people on here. Now, even then, I won't want us to make him a Top 5 paid QB, I'd like to see it still be a deal in that 10-15 range of highest paid QB's and/or have it just be a 2 or 3 year deal.  But if he puts up a season like that, he'll have earned the extension and right to be our QB moving forward. I don't think he'll have a season like that as I don't think he's good enough, but as I've said every year for the last 3 years and now the 4th straight year... Even though I don't think he's that good or can do that, I desperately want to be proven wrong, because Bryce turning into the player the team thought they were getting him after that trade, is still our fastest path to contention than needing to replace QB again.
