Tepper was supposed to be the one that wanted Watson so badly and was willing to give up anything for him. He was also reported to be the one that wanted Teddy gone. That doesn't seem like a guy that is smart and lets others do their jobs. That screams meddling owner.

Now that's optimism! 

Bro who DIDN’T want Teddy gone???

Multiple sources have hinted that we're not high on Trey Lance.

One or two suggested that we didn't like any quarterbacks other than Lawrence and Wilson, but one of those same sources (Joe Person) later suggested we were "intrigued" by Fields.

I've read enough to believe the Panthers non-interest in Trey Lance is probably fact. Whether or not they genuinely like Justin Fields or it's just a smokescreen? Don't really know. Ask me on Friday.

I know Verge doesn't see us taking a first round QB at this point.

That all seems logical but one thing does make me think otherwise...maybe

It’s been reported that we looked into trading up to 3.  If we wanted to go to three that tells me we like QB3.  Early in the process most people assumed QB1 and QB2 were doing 1 and 2 in the draft.  Trading up to 3 for QB2 would have been stupid.

If I was a GM I'd constantly be running mole hunts. 

"Oh there's rumours that we like Lance? Well I only told our SE regional scout that. Sharon, have HR draw up his P45".

That really wouldn't work in practice though.

People come up with rumors to push all the time without sources.

And then you'd also be telling your hand. "What players are the Panthers *not* rumored to be interested in?"  And that would also be telling.

Not sure what that means haha. I just meant, person likely only puts out what the team wants him to. JR likely still has contacts within our team and was transparent about it

Oh I get what you’re saying. He’s a plant. I’m saying he wears socks with his Birkenstocks, probably.

      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.
