Baker may be happening today.

Finessererer needs to tell the brownies each day from now the panthers are going to add 100,000 to the already 13,000,000 part you are paying.

I don't think we have to worry about that. Based on how Scott Fitterer has talked about Corral I have no doubt he will play at some point this season. He still hasn't even signed has he? Matt Corral and his agent know what's on the horizon.

Still not signed, but obviously on the field. I thought there was basically nothing left to negotiate with the way rookie contracts are drawn up nowadays? I've only heard of some injury guarantees and other little wording things, nothing regarding bonuses or actual salary

Well after how the Panthers oline performed last year I imagine those injury guarantees could be a point of contention knowing the other QB ahead of him is on shaky ground at best and was injured himself last year. I would do the same in his shoes.

I think Howell is the only rookie QB that's signed already.

Heard they were very close last night. Two wealthy owners playing chicken. Was told today was a good possibility. If it doesn't happen by the end of the week it will likely be well into July.

Looks like we survived another day of the Baker watch.  Tune in tomorrow for the latest Baker updates from someone's basement.

I’m guessing at some point the Panthers cave and take most of the salary to make the Browns do it. Panthers go on to win 5-6 games. Net accomplishment of nothing. Future even sadder for fans. 

Even if that happens it changes basically nothing about the future. Baker becomes an FA, as does Sam and you reevaluate. That’s why I don’t mind this it carries basically zero future risk.
