Not convinced on Tepper either, but at least the Rhule era has been fun to start. Good on you for owning up!  No harm in being annoyed at how things transpired over the off-season imo. 

At least Tepper had enough sense to fire Rivera and hire Rhule.   My biggest beef with him is how he treated Cam but hopefully he can learn from it .

I dont understand keeping Marty, but maybe his plans there will make more sense in time. 

While I dont think we know the full discussions with Cam, Tepper certainly came off as a dick at the end of all of this and borderline incompetent for thinking a player was done that certainly doesn't seem to be.  But whatever.  I'm happy enough for Cam now that it doesn't bother me like it used to.

I'm not convinced on Tepper yet either, but there's some positive to be seen from Matt Rhule and Teddy Bridgewater so far.

As to Newton, I still feel like the ultimate catalyst for that was Joe Brady. 

I think he was speaking of the way they treated Newton and his release, not necessarily that he was released (late as hell by text). Moreover, I feel that Brady was that catalyst for Teddy, but I still think that Tepper was lukewarm to cool on Newton (which may have precipitated it all).

Tepper was reportedly lukewarm on Newton from the time he bought the team. Word was that Hurney and Rivera wanted to offer an extension but Tepper said no.

With that said, I think if Matt Rhule and his staff had voted to keep him, he'd still be here.

This team will always be my number 1, however, when Hurney is finally banished you best believe I am going to have a Superbowl-like party. Even if they just move him to different spot where he can be given a title like Meatball Manager or something. Everything else seems to be falling into place, with that one exception.

      From what I gather, sure it allows you more room in that you can manipulate the cap more due to smaller prorated amounts to fit salaries in, but for cap purposes, you're still on the hook for the money at the end of the day.    "ChatGPT You said: What are the advantages for NFL teams to sign larger signing bonuses? ChatGPT said: NFL teams often use large signing bonuses as a strategic tool in contracts. While they cost real cash up front, they offer several advantages, especially when it comes to salary cap management, player retention, and negotiation leverage. Here's a breakdown of the benefits: ✅ 1. Salary Cap Flexibility Signing bonuses are prorated over the life of the contract (up to 5 years) for salary cap purposes. This allows teams to spread out the cap hit, even if the player receives the money immediately. Example: A $20M signing bonus on a 4-year deal counts only $5M/year against the cap. ✅ 2. Attracting Top Talent Players love signing bonuses because they're guaranteed money paid up front. Offering a bigger signing bonus can sweeten the deal without inflating yearly salaries. ✅ 3. Front-Loading Real Cash, Not Cap Teams with strong cash flow can pay big bonuses now while minimizing the immediate cap hit. Useful for teams trying to build around rookie QB contracts or with flexible cash budgets. ✅ 4. Locking in Key Players Larger bonuses make it harder for a player to be released early due to dead cap consequences. This can create more job security for the player and roster continuity for the team. ✅ 5. Leverage in Restructures Big signing bonuses create future cap hits via proration. Teams can later restructure deals (e.g., convert salary to bonus) to create even more cap space. ✅ 6. Competitive Edge In free agency, a team offering more guaranteed cash up front often wins the bidding war, even if the total contract value is lower than another team's. ⚠️ Key Caveat: Large signing bonuses increase dead cap risk if the player is cut or traded early."   I think that roster bonuses can be a useful tool if you're trying to keep players in by manipulating numbers and spreading the hit over time, but I don't think that it's something that you want to use unless it's "necessary." I don't know that you want to get into signing rookies on roster bonuses, as the bust rate is relatively high.

      not even if that team in New Orleans disbands before the first game.  Saw one 2026 mock that had them drafting first next year.
