Why tf did they draft tommy Stevens if they were just going to extend Hill? I don’t get it. Let Hill and Stevens battle it out for gimmick QB 3 then sign one of the 2. 16 mil guaranteed for a gimmick 3rd string QB? God.. teddy salary is looking great

but not under the NFL salary cap, which is the relevant constraint here.

Saints and Patriots are the only two teams to get away with anything. Nothing to argue here

They're kicking the can, they will get hit badly one year. 

It's funny, we played cap savers and we end up in cap hell, lose all our good players, and handicap the greatest player in franchise history.

The Saints go aggressive and though they might not win a Super Bowl, they've at least been in the playoffs the past 3 years.

I'll say it again, again, again... This organizations infatuation with defense in FA and the draft is why Cam is not a Panther in 2020.

Our D couldn't stop anyone last year.

Stopped Deshaun Watson, Jameis Winston, held GB to 24 in GB, and the defense did enough for us to beat New Orleans in the superdome, but #1 talent evaluator Marty Hurney gave his HC Joey Slye. Tepper likes having his A$$ kissed, Hurney does whatever he wants. 

Kawaan Short got hurt, the defense didn't do as well at generating a pass rush. Franchise still can't quit emulating the Steelers.

No. That’s just plain ignorance.

What infatuation with defense?  

From 2012 thru last year, we drafted 50 players.  22 on offense, 26 on defense, and two special teamers.  If you look at the first two rounds (the most important), its 9 on d, with 8 on offense.  At best, its a slight emphasis on defense.  

One can make an argument that we haven't been great at drafting on the offensive side, doesn't mean we haven't tried.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
