Good to see it’s nice to have a owner who is doing whatever it takes to be competitive 

Margins are so slim in the NFL anymore that a bubble isn't going to matter much. Rivera has established a culture that allows for the attraction of top tier talent should we ever be in the market for Free Agents. These guys are pro's and by the time the regular season begins, walk thru's in the bubble or Hotel lobby aren't going to make a lick of difference.

if margins are so slim....I would think that the Panthers essentially missing an ideal week of NFL practice/prep prior seasons is kinda a big deal.

I mean that is why we have a bubble now.  Because the margins are so slim.

I'm fairly certain that all the players, coaches, and our Billionaire owner would respectfully disagree there.  You simply can't practice the same way in a hotel or convention center as an indoor facility designed for football....

I don't recall a game we have lost where you can't point to not having the bubble as the culprit.

If team A and team B are equal.

Team A has a normal full week of practice, Team B doesn't....

Who would you give the edge to on Sunday? 

Would be interesting to find our win % on games when they practiced in a hotel.

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
