It would suck, but if the Bill's offer him a coaching job and we didnt then it's on us.

Yes, but 90% of the Huddle would still argue "well maybe he wasn't cut out for it," then once he balls out there just like most of the other Panthers-to-Bills, it'll be "well we should've signed him here"

He played for Panthers but doesn't owe us anything.  That said, it really hurts to see him in those colors and makes me wonder where things went wrong.  Why is he not attending Panthers camp like Smitty?  It just does seem to indicate like he really didn't get along with the new regime.

Ya he did not. And for good reason. The only reason he isn’t playing or coaching somewhere else is because of his contract. I’m surprised he’s actually allowed to wear another teams gear. Unless he contractually cut ties and I missed it.

He came by,  but I'm not sure if the staff let him on the field. Judging by this pic from Gantt, that's a no (also, note all the Panthers stuff he's not wearing).

He is retired.  He cant play anywhere, but he can coach wherever he wants

but would a NFL team still owing rights of a player prohibit them from employment as a non-player elsewhere?

We're in second year of the rebuild, did I miss something?  Let's wait until we see how this season goes

Tepper is ushering in this new era, which I said was trash. And he’s on what- year 4? 5? 
 

The staff, that’s a whole different argument. I have a feeling they’ll be turned over sooner than later as well.

I don’t don’t according to jfra it doesn’t but I thought in the contract and CBA there are stipulations so people can’t “spy” etc.

You know, I remember this one guy years ago that most NFL teams didn't think was good enough to play in the league.

There was this one team though, they took a chance on him. He took advantage of that opportunity and made a stellar career with them. Heck, he wound up being one of their most beloved players of all time.

But then one day, he just burned that whole bridge by leaving in free agency (to an expansion team, of all things).

What a disloyal jerk that guy was, huh? 😐

    • Yeah the only way current set up is fun is if every year a different tiny school builds a super team and makes a run. You just need 1 rich guy to say you know what would be funny, if I drop 30 million and my school has a shot at a national championship.   They won't ever do it but put some sort of tiered salary cap in place and sign them to 4 year deals. You can only transfer up or down tiers no lateral moves because mean ole coach at texas doesn't play me enough so I'm going to Tennessee. So a player at prairie view can transfer to texas and get paid more or a player from UNC can transfer to UNCG because he isn't getting playing time. If a guy is transferring "up" he can get a salary bump if the team has salary cap space. A guy transferring down has to stay at the same salary as he signed his 4 year deal for so the lower tier team would have to have the cap space to sign him. It would stop the money chasing for lateral moves but allow guys who improve massively at lower schools to make more money as juniors and seniors and hopefully keep more guys in one place because the contract is for 4 years.
    • Bryce youngs first starts for 3 years   51 of 103 49%     153 yards avg 6 ints 2 tds   But this is the year he turns it around
    • His third year was worse than Bryce's third year, significantly so.  And he had a game where he threw for 120 yards, two inteceptions, and had a fumble.  He had multiple games where he threw for more int's than td's.
