Well, if the strategy is to get the number one pick next year without purposefully tanking this would be the way to do it.  By signing all these injury prone players it's pretty much guaranteed that most if not all of them will be on IR by week 4 so there's that.

I think Ewing is going to be the OL's "sixth man" and they like Elfein as the LG.  Aside from that, I think we are about to offer contracts to a goalie and shortstop next week.

 

If the shortstop can switch hit both left and right, the Panthers value that kind of positional flexibility...

I honestly have no idea what we're doing in free agency. We need to sweep the building. It feels like Hurney is still there somewhere and calling the shots.

I feel no different too. I hope he start getting some value buys on legit players and not on suspect injury-prone players. I thought Rhule wanted players that played hurt, nearly every player linked has a long history of injuries. I get buying low, just give me some hope Fritterere! I want to meme on your smart GM moves and your ruining that for me!!!1!!!

Another Herniay special " Well we had a lot of injuries ".... I bet that was his goto for getting another shot. BS excuse, it NFL football all team get injuries every year!

It worked under JR.  Not under Tepper.   This time everyone is in on it.

Why do we always fall for guys that have the injury bug? We sign these scrubs in the offseason, they play a handful of games, go on IR and we never hear from them again.

Can we please stop signing players that have spent more time on the sidelines than on the field? Just go with UDFA if we have to over these guys with bad injury history.

Yea no poo. I signed a bunch of guys who have had recent injury history. Now they are all injured again and I never saw it coming, give me another chance.

I don't like the fact that we're targeting these injury prone types.   But in the same vein, I mean, you got to work with who's interested.

I mean Matt Feiler LT/LG could've been absolutely ideal.  He got a 3 year 21 mil deal from LAC.  Was the Steelers LT, totally capable at LG.

Fudge, Rick Wagner OT/G, LeRaven Clark OT/OG, are still sitting around unsigned.  There's a crap ton of guards on the open market so I just find it interesting we targeted the two we did.  Interested to hear what the team says enticed them so much about those two in particular (outside of being swing linemen, because there's plenty out there)

Elsewhere, sucks we couldn't land Michael Davis at CB.  He looked promising. 

So sounds like we're targeting some decent types.   Maybe we're not as apperaling to play for as we thought being void of a QB.

On the flipside, there's not many LBs signed at all yet and plenty of DBs left on the market.  We'll see if we snag any that aren't made of glass haha.

But check out how many are still on the open market: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/all/guard/

I want to hear more than just "flexibility" in respect to why we targeted these two in particular.  It seems very targeted when there's so much availability, and many starters at that.

      Some of you act like one can't learn from experience over time. Just because you may not know what you're doing in 2018 doesn't mean that you don't know what you're doing in 2025. Frankly, you grow from experience, and success and excellence gives first-time applicants the hand probably 99.999% of the time.

      It's an interesting topic of conversation as sports evolves. I think ultimately it would lead to a number of small market franchises folding though. Especially in the NBA where there are so many bad teams that have been bad for years and years in some cases already. But as it stands I think athlete pay draft or no draft aside has reached a point where we can and should realistically ask should they make that much compared to the average person. Now college athletes is a different conversation but even that reaches a breaking point. But we could go down the rabbit hole on this even further into overall entertainment and talk about actors making absurd sums too. In the end I think in sports the powers that be won't allow these changes to even be considered because it opens the door for so many other variables. But who knows how long sports like football will realistically be around after people like us pass on. We're only just now learning about things like CTE which the league and the sport in general will only be able to run away from for so long. As far as the NBA goes my understanding is viewership has been steadily going down for a number of reasons but one crucial aspect is key players missing so many games. The NBA has to figure that out regardless. Especially when considering fans who pay to see these athletes compete in person. But hey I guess let's just try to appreciate what we've got while it still exists in this form eh?

      I can't see a world where the money goes down, but maybe your lottery odds are now your contract numbers you can offer.  Thunder? You can offer Flagg 4 years, 20 million.  Hornets? You can offer Flagg 4 years, 80 million.  Some form of a system where the money is still there, but so is the freedom of choice (on top of bad teams getting *some* competitive advantage to signing them).
