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

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      And once again I showed you it’s been pretty even. We spent 2nd and 3rd rounders this past draft on edge rushers. No one’s going to sit here and do the math on a draft value chart etc. the only reason I even entertained this was because you said we’ve spent nothing on defense when that simply isn’t true. It also didn’t help we traded our ONLY WR worth a damn to trade up for Bryce soo… And this is kind of the issue with the anti Bryce crowd. This crowd tends to blame him for the trade up. I was team Stroud. Had the panthers not taken Young the only other QB they were going to take was Richardson. So your issue should be with Tepper, Morgan, Fitterer not Bryce.  Bryce is who he is and it was pretty obvious who he was during the draft process. Bryce is slowly developing into that guy most thought he’d be. Give him a WR like Jamo and this offense as a whole would improve greatly.  Anyone thinking he was the next Pat Mahomes or Josh Allen is clearly slow. Bryce was always going to need pieces around him much like EVERY other QB Burrow has Chase and Higgins and they’ve done nothing. After losing in AFC Championship in 2022, Burrow is 17-15. QB’s need a team around them It’s why a Jalen Hurts led Eagles team dismantled a Pat Mahomes led KC team in the SB Imo the QB’s doing the most with the least up until this year have been Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson  This year it’s Drake Maye and Josh Allen  Outside of the 3-5 elite type QB’s I’m not really sure what people expect here. Is Bryce ever going to be in that elite category? Nope. Should we punt on Bryce and keep swinging? I don’t think so. Should we keep swinging while hanging onto Bryce? Yeah but I don’t know what that looks like This team as a whole isn’t very good. Offense and defense and that’s the simple truth

      I didn't move the goal posts. But anyone who follows football who wants to engage in a rational discussion can't argue that 10 7th round picks are equal to 10 1st rounders in value. The argument has always been we haven't spent as much on defense has we have on offense. Draft picks have value just like salary. We have not spent the same amount of draft pick salary cap on defense that we have on offense since drafting Bryce. It's not even close. Just the 2 1sts we used on Bryce, 2 overall 1sts have a value of 6000. That doesn’t even factor in DJ Moore or the 2 2nds. Bryce cost more than everything we've spent on defense in 6 damn years.
