Wtf on Reddick why add so many voidable years and make more dead cap. I thought this Suleman guy was suppose to be great. Damn we just hurting in so many ways

y'all really need to take a second and figure out how the salary cap works in the 2022 NFL and not base it on how your personal checkbook balancing worked in 1999.

It's my understanding the Saints got in pretty big financial trouble using this voidable years kick-the-can-down-the-road strategy.

Yeah, we got our money's worth. The cap hit is relatively slight at around 4 mil in 2022. The voidable years are just that if I'm looking at things correctly. I don't think it's going to hurt that much at all.

They've been doing this strategy for like 10 years and it still hasn't really bitten them (although that's largely because of having a HoF QB and coach combo along with an elite all time 2017 draft). This offseason seems like the time it's finally biting them but I'll believe it when I see it.

Their cap situation is probably one of the main reasons for this Sean Payton retirement rumor. They have to take some lean years and get back under the cap eventually. It made sense when they were trying to compete for a Super Bowl with Brees in the twilight of his career but the saints would probably be best served going into rebuild mode at this point.

You know what I zeroed in on? Making Darnold an 18.9 million dollar backup.

I'd said here that FA would be tough for us because guys are choosing. I don't trust another QB trade with this Fhule headed staff.

I just feel that Cam would be the only and probably most friendly FA QB for the Panthers. Nobody wants this team to win more than THAT guy. You'd never have to question his dedication AND guys look up to him.

Is he the best FA QB? No, but again he's the one who loves you and he looked damn good coming off his couch to truck DBs and LBs. That was beautiful and something I thought I'd never see again. The arm looked live although he wasn't always in sync with his receivers and he looks to be in better physical shape than when he first left.

Make things easy, not difficult. The smartest thing to do is to ask Cam to come back and start at a reasonable price with Sam backing him up(learning how to be a professional from QB1, sorry he needs that) and try like heck to draft Strong to learn and sit behind them both.

With Cam already knowing CMC(who is moving to the slot apparently), DJ, Robby. I think he's already got a head start on any other FA, plug and play basically. Cam told them he has standards, OK now they have a real NFL OC.

We've already told these dummies how to fix this team. It's as if they read this sht and do the exact opposite to their own doom and embarrassment and failure. Let's use psychology...

Don't fix the offensive line. Don't draft Strong and don't let him sit behind and eventually compete against Sam and Cam.

Sheesh

      So happy that LaMelo got the layup to go and *won* the game. How happy he was after the game, that's what a young dude like him needs to keep it going and keep the belief going. If we lose, LaMelo gets blamed, and he's got an offseason to be in his head and hear the noise like the last few years. The season might still have an ugly ending, but weirdly feels like last night was HUGE for this team moving forward.

      My thoughts on Carolina's post-season run: Obviously, the season began with a below average Freddie Andersen and everyone hoping Kochetkov would pick up the slack, until he got hurt. Enter Brandon Bussi who had a made-for-TV movie type run until the end of the season, when he came crashing back to earth, his save % drops under .900 and the team needs to score 5-6 goals to win games. Freddie has shown signs of a resurgence and Bussi looked pretty good the last 2 games of the season, but both sample sizes are small and questions abound for all 3 goalies. The physicality of playoff hockey will take its toll. Save for a few players, the Canes best players are small, their top 2 lines are small and there's no getting around that. The only way to protect the size disadvantage is a strong forecheck. Allowing opposing teams to establish the offensive zone and create board battles with smaller players will hurt Carolina. The Stankoven line could be a difference-maker. If they continue to play well against lower defensive pairs, it only adds to the depth of the team.  The Aho line had stretches of absenteeism during the season. The Canes cannot afford to have them dry up offensively and leave the scoring to Ehlers and the Stankoven line. If they aren't performing well, teams will simply roll their best lines out on the Canes best playing lines.  If the Canes can get by Ottawa and get some help from Boston against Buffalo, I think they have a legit shot to make the finals. Make no mistake, I think their toughest challenges are Ottawa and Buffalo in the East.
