Which prospect have you grown to like? (not just who you would like to be a Panther)

Yeah I'll trust the front office no matter what happens tonight and let it play out but I can't lie I'd be extremely disappointed if we pass up on Fields. If it's Lance sitting there, while I'd still like to take him, I'd be fine with passing him up, but Fields is the best QB prospect we're gonna have a chance at for a long time if you ask me. He's the clear #2 player in this draft behind TL in my eyes and we could actually have a chance at him falling to us and pass it up. If it's Sewell that'll make it easier to stomach but anyone else and it'll be a rough night for me...

I’m with you. Been on the Fields train for years. He’s been the 1B to Lawrence’s 1A for some time now. I’d hate to believe we overthink things and talk ourselves out of pairing Fields with Moore, Anderson, CMC, Moore and Joe Brady if he is on the board at 8. 
 

His game against Clemson is probably the best performance of any of these kids in the last few years in a single big stage game. He straight up took over after getting injured. He has the pedigree. He has the stats. He has the right attitude. From a character standpoint you aren’t going to find a better kid in the draft. 
 

And he accurately airs the ball out during real games. It’s everything we are looking for in a a QB. Giving Darnold competition, even giving Fields competition by having Darnold to compete against will only help us make the right decision at QB.

I want him to be a Panther.  I just wholeheartedly believe that Fitt/Rhule are too enamored with the idea of another desperate team over paying for the 8th spot (assuming we find a suitor).  Unfortunately, draft Capital only works if you hit on those picks.  This morning I reminded of the Julio Jones trade, and how Cleveland squandered every single one of those picks.  But how could we go wrong with possibly two starter quality QB's on rookie contacts?  We shall see.

      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.
