I've not pretended to know the prior times you trotted out this schtick and now is no different. Between the Darnold trade and all the comments to the media, both at the end of last year and about seeking a trade, there's a lot of writing on the wall and the message is pretty clear.

He’s either a troll, which is sad, or to use his words delusional, which is also sad. I mean when your pie is negative overall and you still think you’re right about everything? That’s pretty scary. I’m delusional for believing Teddy will be gone and he can’t even see trading for Darnold as being a sign. Lol, delusional indeed.

The last thing Sam Darnold is, is a "vet".  He's a wet behind the ears 23-yr old deer in the headlights...

You're deluded...

...but to clarify, I do believe there's a chance TB5 is paid-in-full and then "released" --- to do so would be completely stupid but I can't deny it as a possibility.

Do you really believe there is a chance TB5 is "traded"...?!?  Surely ye jest...

Lol. You’re an idiot. Do you understand that Teddy’s new cash in 2021 is $18M and his guarantee is $10M? There is no “paid in full” with a release. The team still actually saves $8M and $20Mish in 2022. Is that actually difficult to understand because that’s twice now that you still haven’t gotten that releasing him is a worst case option where we actually save almost $30M in cap space over the next two years.

I have no idea if he’ll be traded but when NFL analysts are discussing that teams are interested I’m not going to say there’s no chance. Our leverage is that we don’t have to release him. I think that would be a waste of cap space but it would mean that others teams couldn’t wait for the release.

Gotcha.

Let's approach it another way, do you believe it's in the best interests of the Panthers to pay out Teddy's contract in-full and also cut him thereby getting absolutely nothing in return?

Is that a sensible path?

Thank you he don’t know anything, fixing to put him on ignore he’s not smart.

No you said someone was paying the women to make this allegations.  If fact you posted it numerous times 

Has it been confirmed yes or no?

Ya think?  You're not alone!

I may be an idiot but everyone knows that in the NFL if it's not guaranteed it never happened...

...paid-in-full references the guaranteed portion of the ironclad contract which is in place between TB5 and the Carolina Panthers...

...is fully paying out Teddy with a $10,000,000 check to walk the best course of action for the team?

Pretty sure it's our old friend, Sanjay. He pulls a lot of the same dumb stunts.

Won't be too surprised if he gets banned again soon. I know he the living sh-t out of the mods with some of this stuff.

Oh, I remember old Sanjay. Wasn’t he the TE guy?

Is it Sanjay?  Or Chuck? Or someone else? 

Or none of the above?!?

Like Darnold you're seeing ghosts...

While you may not like the positions I take they all have merit and in the great United States of America we are all entitled to an opinion...

...and, it's beneath you to be groveling for a ban -- weak sauce there bud.

(was there a Chuck?  think I remember you rolling that one out there?)

Yeah, same MO. Latch on to and obsess over a single concept that he thinks makes him look smarter than everybody else (in this case believing that he understands how David Tepper does business) while not understanding that all it really does is annoy people. Then make a bunch of bold predictions based on that, pretty much all of which turn out to be wrong, but still talk as if he were a big deal.

And therein lies the problem, I think. He wants to be a big deal, but the way he goes about it just isn't productive.

Majority of the salary is now a sunk cost (to what degree is variable across a spectrum), so the decision comes down to what the team values for that sunk cost. If they place higher value on the roster spot/flexibility in having other players potentially see the field/etc then that's what they're buying with the cost associated with the decision to cut/trade. If they place higher value on having Teddy on the roster for X/Y/Z reason(s) then that's what they're buying with the sunk cost of the decision to retain.

My opinion is that while neither is optimal the team is better off in the former scenario, but there is a long time to go between now and the season. Teddy's presence itself is binary amongst the spectrum of possible financial outcomes. At this point the team seems fine with possibly being without Teddy even if, at a minimum, a good portion of the salary remains. It stands to reason they are leaning toward the former option rather than the latter, supported by the comments at the end of the season and start of the offseason.

It’s one of the best decisions I’ve made on this site. You still see his posts when others quote him but it’s a ton better.

Unlike the other 99.8%...

...you do deserve credit for  a modicum of logic and a somewhat cogent position.

Good onya mate.
