So what are the positives from the Panthers 2020 season?

Offense: 

1. Offensive line has been scrapped together with random vets and should not have been as good as it has been (not that it's been great) -- this is a testament to both Brady's system and also the OL coaching. I view this as a very big positive. Reminds me a bit of the Pats OL all those years under Scarnecchia...

2. WR core. This is definitely the best group of WRs this team has ever seen, and I would even argue we have the best group of 3 WRs in the entire league. An elite QB would have an absolute field day with these guys.

Defense:

1. Near elite play from breakout players in Burns and Chinn

2. Development of young players in Brown, YGM, Pride, Carter, etc.

3. Phil Snow has been a bit of a revelation. 18th in the league in both points allowed and yards allowed on defense this year, with by far the most snaps by rookies and frankly a pretty damn bad overall defense on paper. Extremely impressed by the defense this year. I was fully expecting a bottom 3 defense.

1) We had a good draft, based on the play and/or progress shown by more than one of them.

2) Somehow, this overmatched team was competitive in nearly every game.  Eventually those near misses will start turning into wins.  That is a credit to the coaching staff and the players that bought into them.

3) We are much younger

4) We did this thing called game planning for an opponent and sometimes even did something called making adjustments

5) We unloaded a lot of dead cap and dead weight in the process

6) Hurney is finally not in a position to do any damage with his contracts or hidden gems.

      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.
