For the few minutes it takes the NFL to put him on the Exempt List, sure. After that you're paying him to do nothing.

I wouldn’t touch the guy at all but that’s not necessarily true. A team could easily structure the contract with all non guaranteed roster bonuses for each game and sign a 2 year deal if they wanted so they could still have him after the NFL disciplines him. He’s so talented some dumb team will bring him back to the league at some point but it will not be us that’s for sure.

Assuming he accepts that sort of structure...

The general belief right now is that the NFL is dragging out the investigation because they know teams will be reluctant to sign him with the prospect of his being put on the exempt list hanging over their heads.

It's fairly smart if you think about it. If they actually did put him on the list, then he could appeal it. If no action is taken, there's nothing to be appealed.

I don’t know what the hell goes on in that guy’s head, but that structure is better than being out of the league...

But teams won’t be all that reluctant at some point if Brown seems to clear his act up. What is making team reluctant is Brown’s state of mind and his issues, not how the NFL is treating the situation. Redskins signed Foster knowing he’d go on exempt list. Same with Browns and Kareem Hunt.

And I don’t believe you can even appeal the exempt list, since it’s a paid leave of absence and is spelled out in the CBA. In the recent cases of the exempt list, I don’t believe any were appealed at all.

I don't really think you want to know what goes on in that guy's head.

Zylestra and Bonnafon in house make sense to give a shot.

Outside the organisation, Anthony Ratliff Williams is an undrafted rookie with return experience that was in for a tryout not long ago.  Think he's on the Raiders practice squad now.

This is actually a good idea here...nice find

      Little worried about Jarvy Shoulder and that torn cuff, it's needed surgery for 2 years now and he's gonna play with it injured again next season.    I like the toughness but would definitely prefer it to be fixed. He's an intritical player on the team going forward.    Also I was high on pain pills last time I wrote about saving cap space but I didn't go into detail cause I wouldn't have been able to do so. "still on a ton of pain medication but not as nearly as many, think I'm down to 23 pills a day from 32 a few days ago, 18 of them are for pain management in some form or another."     But I digress let's get to the point I was trying to make in my last post about saving, I'll now use Jarvis as an example.    Let's say the canes spend 23m of the 28m in space they have available. Then have Jarvis get surgery and put him on LTIR at the start of the regular season.  You let the cap space sit til the trade deadline. At the deadline that cap space would have accural on it and the team can use that space and spend 24m on incoming salary for the rest of the season. Let's say they bring in 5 players and send out two. "player A has an 8m AAV contract" he'd cost Carolina 4m the rest of the season. Player B makes 10 "cost of 5. So forth and so forth.  Using that accural system and the Jarvis LTIR, the Canes could then go into the playoffs with a healthy Jarvis and be 19m over the cap legally for a cup run. The more cap space available at the start of the season, the larger the accural would be at the trade deadline.    That was the first part of what I was going to try and articulate the other day but I'm on 35mg of oxy every 6 hours plus ketorolac and two other pain pills and another for kidney spasms.    Have a wonderful night everyone

      Will history repeat itself and Carolina make it to NFCCG this year?

      The main thing that makes the NFL so appealing is how unpredictable it is
