Would you put it past Tepper to move the team?

Fitt gets so much credit for doing basically nothing. What great lasting moves that have improved the team has he made? We have won 5 games for the past 3 years and we are expecting to win 6 or less this upcoming season.

This is his 2nd offseason, 1st full one having been with the team.

He gets credit because he doesn’t sit on his hands.

I could spend days gathering the best ingredients from the finest sources to prepare the best meal possible.  Brilliant move right?  Unless I don’t know how to cook.

Rhule is the chef.  How’s it taste so far?

Frankly, there’s a good chance Tepper is playing high-level hardball with Rock Hill as a shot across the bow at Charlotte,” Florio writes. “The hard bargain Tepper has chosen to drive in South Carolina could be a precursor to the hard bargain he’ll drive in North Carolina.

“Maybe that’s why Tepper seems to be untroubled by the current situation. His deeper message could be far more pointed.

“Give me what I want, or I eventually will be gone.”

Last year, Tepper stated he wouldn’t build a new stadium alone—implying the community must help foot the potential bill. Well, good luck trying to get the people of Charlotte to buy what this middling product is currently selling.

This, however, wouldn’t be an out-of-character move—especially for a guy who bought his old boss’ home for $43.5 million, only to tear it down and build a mansion twice as large for the sake of pettiness.

If he wanted to move the team it takes 3/4 of the owners approval to move. With everything the league is facing now with the Flores lawsuit and allegations I don’t think they want any more negative publicity. There is no legitimate reason to move the Panthers. He has not yet asked for a new stadium. If he puts a winning team on the field it might help sway public opinion somewhat.

      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.
