Rhule files Suit against the Panthers

Rhule's new contract with Nebraska is structured so that his salary is heavily weighted towards the later years of the deal. because of that, he's getting paid slightly less over the years that overlap with his Panthers deal, and he's suing for the difference between those two numbers.

honestly I think it's pretty greasy that he organized his new contract that way, really transparently just trying to squeeze an extra $5M out of his deal. which, in a vacuum I wouldn't really think much of it, go ahead and get your money. but in the context of Rhule's performance and his...demeanor after getting fired?

greasy.

another example of him talking a big game but not having anywhere near the ethics to back it up on a personal level.

I can't stand Rhule but that's the type of thing that occurs all over. Won't ding him for savvy business, particularly against a guy like Tepper, if it actually holds up. But...

With this context, I agree Tepper doesn't owe him poo. It'll all come down to the wording of the contract. It's arbitration and this is a strong argument. Don't know if arbitration has a discovery process, but Rhule might not have a leg to stand on with this.

... this is exactly right. Should be pretty easy to sort out one way or antoher with the offset language that is there.

It took Jay Z seven years to get his money, so Rhule should expect to wait awhile. 

Honestly though, it's a lawsuit, it's not gross incompetence on anyone's part. He probably already asked for the money, and Tepper's lawyers think they have grounds to refuse to pay. A couple hundred thousand is less than $5MM, so I get why they're going through the courts vs. just shelling out the money.

This could explain why Tepper retained him going into the season to avoid all of this but then midway Tepper was like fug It.

Also explains why Ms Tepper is becoming more involved with the football side. I know he’s new to this but there’s been some expensive swings and misses out of the gate.

If he's owed money per his contract then he's owed money, period. Pay the man if that's what the contract says.

I agree. I’m sure Rhule has a solid case. But if at all possible Rhule should have made this move as privately as possible. Tepper just admitted publicly that he made a mistake. And the next day this hits the media. Doesn’t take much for a man with that much “power” to get petty real fast and make that new job much more difficult.

I'm sure he and his agent and lawyer tried to handle it behind the scenes and outside of the courts. Not honoring contractual agreements requiring legal intervention is starting to seem like a trend for Tepper.

Read above.

Actually sounds like Tepper might have a point.

Yep. My statements are definitely not taking into account all the stories about Tepper y’all have told. But what little I paid attention to those, I remember always thinking why is this guy being “cheap” about anything? So he may be cheap, or spiteful, or both. 
 

    I just wouldn’t want him pissed at me, no matter what.

    • Have you seen the mock drafts lately?   Most of them have us taking a QB. Just because you aren't high on these QBs doesn't mean the Panthers or other teams aren't.   If you want me to be real I just think you a Tmac homer and all you care about is us drafting him. It's why you get so defensive when people mention other prospects.   Be open to other people's ideas. Nobody in this thread is saying anything bad about your boy Tmac. 
    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
    • Sanders is with Tom Brady brand and that's his mentor. The Raiders owner was with Sanders taking pics at a Vegas game together.   It doesn't take much to connect the dots that Vegas will be interested in Sanders as their franchise QB. Oh yeah and guess who hasa small ownership stake in the Raiders Tom Brady.   I guess this is just another made up Madden idea by me huh?
