Katie Peralta Retweeted Avery Wilks

curious if @Harpootlian4SC or other lawmakers skeptical of the projected benefit have mentioned the jock tax (https://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/business/article227793404.html …)- salaries of highly paid employees who travel (players) are taxed in states where games are played (1/2 games are at home, aka in NC. None in SC)

NEW: In a strange twist to the @panthers tax break saga, Dem Sen. @Harpootlian4SC hired an economist who evaluated the deal and believes the Commerce Department's economic impact numbers are exaggerated. Harpootlian says he'll continue to block the bill https://www.thestate.com/news/politics-government/article229073114.html …

Jourdan Rodrigue Retweeted Maayan Schechter

A delegation of Panthers, including head coach Ron Rivera and VP of development Mark Hart, some players (and I guess Sir Purr) are at the S.C. capitol today to get introduced in the House and Senate as well as meet with SC governor McMaster.

Just read that article.  The Commerce Dept report factored in ALL employees moving to SC, which I think it nuts.  Sounds like they got a little over zealous with the numbers.  Still though, 1.1 billion is a pretty big impact to the State.

I believe the economic impact was grossly overstated. 

That is nothing unusual in this day and age of economic buffalo hunting. Kudos to the SC state senator who hired an independent economist to check all the figures. Research should always beat salesmanship.

Saw the Cat Cruiser heading south on 77 this morning!  Wonder if RR was riding shotgun?

      Also hit the over.  Banking on Man City running up the score and Leeds getting a lucky strike.

      Tailed you.  Also Free Play, which is why the risk shows $0.00. Let me look at hoops and get back to you.  Always fade Hubert, haha.

      Hard to say right now, but good thinking.  I look at this as the info we need for free agency.  Looks like we are going to free up about $10m so far; watch to see if any contracts (Moehrig, Horn, Brown, etc) are reworked the first week of March.  Then after free agency, we will have a pretty good idea. Right now, to be fair to your question because I am sure you are aware of its timing: In free agency, I see us adding an OT of some sort and drafting one at some point.  It all depends on how they view Ickey, Nijman, and maybe BC.  That OT could be Nijman.  I do not see the future OT--just a stop gap. I see the Panthers signing a free-agent center.  I think the market is strong.  I see Fortner from the Saints as a prime candidate and his salary is estimated at $6m by Spotrac.  the Saints are $42m over the cap, so I doubt they are able to re-sign many of their own.  He will be 28.  I also expect them to re-sign Corbett (depth) at a vet min ($1.5m) deal. I also see free agency as a strong area to get a free safety who can play and is under age 30.  Hawkins, Cook, and Bryant are all around age 27-28, play at a high level, and should be had for about $15m per. EDGE: Arnold Ebiketie is a good value because he gets pressure at a high percentage.  He had 2 sacks and Atlanta just drafted 2 pass rushers last year.   He has a 70+ PFF rating and will (Spotrac) demand about $9m.  While he is not the answer, he is a great third down option with Princely and he would allow for Jones, Scourton, and Princely to develop.
