Either that or a $5 million check to go away 😉

His ambulance chasers are only in it for one-reason and one-reason alone -- extract some 💵benjamins 💰, clip 30% of them -- and move on down the road to the next extortion attempt 🤦‍♂️

If he'd take a $5M check to go away that check would've already been written and this whole thing swept under the rug.

Why do you think a check for $5M would make it go away when Flores turned down a bribe of $100k per loss?

• A team that loses a minority assistant coach who becomes a head coach or loses a personnel executive who becomes a general manager will receive third-round compensatory picks in each of the next two drafts.

Flores took a demotion, so I guess that doesn’t apply

So much for the guy now being blackballed for suing the NFL 😂

This was just the NFLs way of avoiding a lawsuit that had substance. Dude could have taken down the entire scheme the NFL has been running years under Goodell.

Naah...they don't hand out $5M checks willy nilly.  

The guy who briefly played QB for the 49'ers settled for less than $5M and he had to limp along for years...

1.  The $100k assertion is fiction.  

2.  Flores would take the $5M because his attorneys would require him to do so -- or -- force him to find new representation.  

 

Ask yourself this, do you believer Flores is actually paying the legal bills for these incredibly high-priced New York City based ambulance-chasing hucksters?

Or, do you think they are doing the smearing and threatening on a contingency basis?

Hmm... 🧐

Why do you think that the $100k/game bribe allegations were fabricated?

Attorneys get a cut of the settlement usually, yes, that's how they get paid. Disability attorneys take up to 50% of back owed payments when folks have been initially denied. Does that make them ambulance chasers?

Why do you think it's legit?

This isn't a disability case.

Again, do you believe Flores is writing checks to pay these attorneys?

None of the "compensation" demands you "copy pasted directly from the lawsuit itself" would result in any sort of monetary reward to cover the costs/time incurred by the ambulance chasers...

...so are you thinking it's a pro bono effort on their part?

I think that it is very much possible considering that they're going to have to substantiate the claims in court in order to have any chance, but you straight up said that it is fiction so the burden of proof is on you. Rather than asking you to provide evidence for it, I'm just asking you to explain your reasoning. 

I don't know the arrangement that Flores has with his attorney. What does it matter whether or not he pays them as retainers and/or they take a % of the settlement? It's literally how attorneys are paid. Also, the section of the lawsuit I quoted beings with "Among the other relief sought," which shows that they're seeking monetary compensation. What in the world is the point that you are trying to make here?

I just don't believe Ross would do that.  Possibly I am wrong.

Makes a huge difference.  

Think about it this way...

...did the lawyers hire the plaintiff here?

He is going to take the side of the billionaire owner. He has a thing for them….

    • We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.
    • I would also add that I think it's more than money.  AT has looked absolutely miserable out there at times, and there was a lot of speculation he would demand to be traded.  Personally, I thought he was a lock to be moved last year.  Maybe his hamstring is the only thing that prevents that from happening. The fact that he's not only willing to come back and play, but excited about it, really bodes well for Bryce.  AT is a veteran and he knows the game.  If he didn't have confidence in Bryce, I guarantee you he wouldn't be in a Panther uniform this year.  I'll take that as a positive.
