Not really. Gettis ain't got anything to do with this conversation. Unfortunately the young man got hurt, but he did flash with lesser QBs than Moore has had. 

I said it's a "good resigning".  Certainly you aren't suggesting anything more. 

I find it interesting that you used words like "trashing". Moore has proven to be a solid WR2. Neither you nor anyone else should really have a problem with that. I think that's fair. And, as always, I call it like I see it. 

Gettis is one example of the lengthy list of wide receivers we hoped would pan out into more over the years. Some had higher talent and promise than others. We just do not know his capabilities as a WR1 until we get a QB in here who can actually threaten with the deep ball consistently and open up the offense. I don't think it's hyperbole to say Sam Darnold was one of the worst passers since 2010 only Clausen was worse. Both Moore and Anderson especially have taken their share of flack for last season and yes some of it was surely legitimate. But it's time to actually give them a real chance.

Yeah, that’s why I specifically named DJ

Not to keep this going back and forth, you said DJ was the only one worth extending and now you agree that Moton is worth as well. You could have meant new, or i could ask how you felt about CMC *when he got his bag. Panthers got some talented players that most other teams would do the same type of deal in on their rosters. 

For the record I didnt want either Moton or CMC(bump any of those threads) at top 5 salaries, but top 18 for DJ, i agree with that.

CMC was a no win situation. Well almost. I remember when his 1,000/1,000 season ended, I reminded everyone it was time to pay him. But every different choice had legit merit. He was the best RB in the league, and made for todays game. So his contract wasn’t out of hand. Especially since he had been healthy his whole career until then. Trading him for a haul wasn’t a bad idea since there was a rebuild(or should have been) going on and no sense giving a RB a long term contract. Let him play out his last two years on rookie deal and 5th year option. CMC would have held out, and rightfully so. Same reason teams don’t want to pay a RB is why he wanted his security before he played again. It was the first time he had leverage in his career. None of these options were unreasonable. The RB blues just finally caught up to him.

It was a no win deal. fyi they forced that 1k/1k deal, didnt feel organic at all. I just never believe in paying RBs long term deals. PERIOD. If you bump any of those threads, i said take the 5th year and maybe one tag/two at most. But you had control for the next 4 years, they didnt have to give him that deal after the 3rd. I do understand why, cause it was a no win deal. Look for a trade if he didnt want a fair deal. No other RB has passed him in numbers- derrick, cook, cubb etc all signed deals AFTER CMC and did not pass him. 

Ive been signing that CMC needs to man-up and take a pay-cut this year. They have gotten nothing what 7 games out of 33?? Plus all the dead money, panthers gave him the highest pay and CMC should in fact take a cut even if its small.

Why would I mention Moton when he’s already been extended?

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
