Funchess isn't getting a contract extension

Panthers GM Marty Hurney suggested he doesn't plan to extend contract-year WR Devin Funchess this season.

"You want to see a guy put back-to-back years together," Hurney told reporters at training camp. Funchess is coming off a breakout year, but his role may be scaled back with an improved supporting cast. The Panthers also want Funchess to prove he can stay healthy after battling injuries throughout 2017.

Of course not before the season, that wouldn't be smart for either side. But you don't let him walk and start over with DJ, Curtis, and Torrey.

Barring an awful injury riddled season he'll get an extension or franchised next summer, it's not like we have anyone else to franchise. He's a wr that just turned 24, trending up and is finally entering his prime years. Funchess will be here

  I think DJ Moore’s performance may have as big an impact on his contract as Devins does. And that franchise tag is going to be very high with all the new contracts. Just guessing but around 15M+. If you think DJ is a #1WR after one year, it’s going to make the decision even more difficult.

We'll know by the end of the fourth game whether we should offer and extension or not. I think he's just entering his prime and he will be ready to seal up one of the starting WR positions on the team for the next five years. If he comes out of the gates on fire, then he could be seeing many, many dollars in his future.

It doesn't always work out that way and right now we have a better crop of WRs than previous years to see us through this season and the next. He's going to have to perform well, adapt and overcome to get that contract with us -- a middling performance will put him on the market (where he will find generous compensation) as we'll have enough on the shelves to see us through.

I wish him luck, I sure do want to see him here for the long term. Good guy, tougher than he looks and great potential.

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

      This is always a non-story by the time camp begins.

      I've really only begun to pay attention this week being that training camp is looming, so I was personally caught off guard by the fact that Nic Scourton remains unsigned. That's not necessarily bad news, but it's not necessarily good news either. Apparently it's a thing with this year's draft class. "Of the 32 players selected in the second-round, 30 remained unsigned and the clock is ticking. "Already we've seen one second-round pick hold out from the start of training camp with that player being Los Angeles Chargers' wide receiver Tre Harris. Harris did not report with the rest of the Chargers' rookies on Saturday due to his contract situation, a issue that could impact nearly every other team in the league. "For the Panthers, defensive end Nic Scourton is the player to watch for when rookies start showing back up to the team facilities next week. "The 51st overall pick is one of the 30 second-rounders who has yet to sign their rookie contract and the reason why is due to the other two that have actually signed. "Cleveland Browns' linebacker Carson Schwesinger and Houston Texans' wide receiver Jayden Higgins each signed fully guaranteed contracts as the first and second players drafted in the second-round. Prior to this year, second-round picks never received a fully guaranteed deal, only players selected in the first-round." https://atozsports.com/nfl/carolina-panthers-news/panthers-nic-scourton-contract-second-round-pick-training-camp-hold-out-tre-harris/ So, I suppose we'll see what's what pretty soon. It's definitely something to monitor.

      overwhelming majority of kids in travel ball aren't getting scholarships though because most teams are rec caliber (and not watched by scouts)    and parents/leagues sort of helped create this system and narrative IMO where travel ball is now oversaturated and most of it is simply expensive rec ball.  is travel beneficial for some athletes to get more exposure? Sure. The ones travel actually existed for.   I still think travel has expanded entirely too broad at this stage......where they will now have 5 teams per year in your backyard area pending they can get parents to write those checks.   Ain't no scout ever laying eyes on 90%+ of the kids in travel ball at this stage of where it has morphed into.
