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.

      In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
