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? 😐

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
