Person has a similar conclusion regarding the contract question and David Tepper.

 

Fug that.

Hard to think after a few years of ownership, David Tepper - who's worth $16B - would let money stand between Panthers and winning.

Total BS

 

I am so sick of these supposed NFL insiders on here and twitter with their dumb ass "sources"

Might be true Deshaun asked the Panthers for some contract guarantees yesterday but at that point it's very unlikely he was still seriously considering a trade to the Panthers. The request was most likely made to get leverage in contract negotiations with the Falcons and the Panthers just said nah dawg we good.

Also this...

Gotta wonder why...

Why ask for contract guarantees at all from us then?  Just as leverage against the other teams involved?

Sorry, I missed that. He was traded?

Oops, yeah, I see that.

That's my impression of it. From everything I've heard, Deshaun pretty much made up his mind to go to Atlanta after hearing the pitches from the other 3 teams involved. Atlanta is just having a hell of a time making a deal work with that Matt Ryan contract. NFL is trying to spin a narrative that Matt Ryan has been involved in the whole process which is BS. I told you guys the storyline would begin changing today.

They had to have enough space for the smartest man in the room, obviously.

Well whatever they did, it sounds like their "sales pitch" meeting went something like WKRP's pitch to Vicky Von Vicky jeans.

That's pretty deep, Scot. A whole new level of "obscure references."

And who tried to kiss who?

I genuinely don't get that.

If you're trying to full on recruit the guy (and this basically was a recruiting trip) why wouldn't you bring along someone he knew and worked with before?

Did you just trust Matt Rhule's college recruiting experience would be enough?
