I don't need inside information to know that GMs who regularly deal in contracts don't run them past college coaches (and assistant coaches) who have no experience with them at all.

So it’s your position that a lame-duck GM(see Andrew Berry) making 1M(maybe) didn’t mention the terms to anyone until after the contract was signed? Not the new 7 year HC with total authority? Not the new cap guy? No one? 
 

   You stick with that? How do you Know this? Have you shadowed many GMs? So coaches and GMs don’t discuss this? Trent Baalke can sign a player Urban wants for twice what he’s worth and doesn’t tell anyone? Just like Hurney would have been, Baalke would get canned.

The cap guys negotiate the specifics, though the GM often sets parameters. Major contracts might be run past the owner, but that's not guaranteed.

Most head coaches don't have that much to do with actual contract negotiation. Their contribution is to say whether they want a certain player or not.

Where does this come from? From years of listening to interviews with coaches, GMs, etc. Some years back, Floyd Reese gave an extended discussion about coaching / management relationships that was very informative on the topic.

More to the point in this case though, Roaring Riot has an extremely reliable record when it comes to knowing inside details.

You don't.

So yes, I take his word for it, and that's because he's earned it.

  So one guy’s specific situation, 15-20 years ago is a blanket statement. Was Reese ever GM on his last year of a contract, on a team that just hired a HC to a 7 year contract worth 10x a year what he makes? Because that’s this situation. Thats acting like the Panthers aren’t vastly different from just a couple years ago in the way they are run. 
 

   Every situation is different, but there is no way that Rhule didn’t approve that(and every) deal. Or did Rhule only make the good moves and it was Hurney who made every mistake. I would have to assume if that information was available for TB, it was for every transaction. 
 

   And I’ve never said the guy was lying. I can absolutely see him being told that by someone in the organization. Coincidentally, right when Hurney got fired. Remember, he was a scapegoat.

The best part is Ian Rapoport started this whole conversation with Carolina being the "sole suitor" then today posts this: 

 

Ian wins interweb click award.

Also worth pointing out if it hasn't been already (did not read whole thread) the Jets did not need to trade Darnold.  They could have kept him on the roster.  So even if teams dropped out our competition was the status quo.... ironically on both sides (TB).

      Hulu +Live: $88.78 Amazon Prime: $16.00 (w/FanDuel: $36.12) Apple TV+: $10.66 Netflix:$26.68 Is all still $80 less per month than what I was paying for DirecTV when I gave it up a few years ago.

      2025 College Football Thread

      I just don't know that he has the time to turn it around at his age. His age is going to be a major strike against him in the recruiting trail and it's just a tough row to hoe to turn a football program around. One good recruiting class can turn around a basketball team. Hell, one individual recruit can turna around a basketball team - Carmelo Anthony basically won a national championship single handedly at Syracuse. Cam at Auburn is the only college who even comes close to that type of impact off the top of my head. A good recruiting class is 2-3 years down the road from significantly impacting a college football program... if you can actually keep them around. The instant impact is in the portal but everyone else is chasing those guys too. If I was building a college program, I'd focus almost exclusively on the trenches starting out. To me, that's the big difference in college. The better teams dominate the trenches. There's just a LOT more talent disparity at the college level than there is the NFL level. The worst teams in the NFL are still full of guys who were all conference or all American at the college level. The gap between the best team in the NFL and the tenth best team in the NFL is pretty small. A couple of plays might be the difference. The #1 team in the country is probably going to be a 10 point favorite over the #10 team at the college level. The gap on talent between the #1 team and the #32 team is a massive gulf. The #1 team's backups would be competitive against the #32 team. I just don't know if Belichick after a career in the NFL was prepared for the level of talent disparity he was going to face.

      Saints just released a good safety

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      I wouldn't drop David Moore, honestly. Moore, while long in the tooth and light in production, is about the only veteran presence in the WR room now and the only one with extensive experience with what Canales wants and needs. And that's probably why he made the roster. Still, aging safeties who might make a decent gunner just aren't where you want to spend your money and roster spots. Even at vet minimum, he's not going to be as cheap or maybe as trainable as some UDFA who would run through a brick wall for a roster spot for rookie league minimum and a chance.
